The episode opens with Abby and Jake waking up next to each other in their house, and soon after that, they are shown apologising to each other. Jake says he is sorry that he didn’t tell Abby about his girlfriend Becca’s pregnancy.

The duo feel they need to spice up their relationship and decide to spend a weekend alone as a couple, without kids, texts or mails. Both of them are equally excited about the secret relationship, but soon the shadows of their past arguments crop up.

They both try to actively ignore their recurring feelings of repressed rage, but they soon realise that they are just too different from each other to get along. Each of them feel that the other partner thinks poorly of him or her, and this aggravates the situation.
