Christy discusses it at A.A. She admits to being bored with the new arrangement.
Going home, she finds Bonnie with a new basketball hoop for Roscoe, and Violet asking about a Bible, as Luke's father thinks it might be good for her soul. Christy takes offense to his interest in pushing religion on Violet but Bonnie supports it.
Baxter shows up, currently living out of his van, wanting to talk to Christy about parking in the driveway and using Christy's house for a while. Though Bonnie insists no, Christy says it's fine.

He asks if he can take her on a date. Christy tells him it's not a good idea. She admits she slept with him to mess her life up a little. They sleep together again.
Christy wakes, realizing it's morning. She does the walk of shame out of the van, carrying her clothes, and finds her entire family watching her from the window.
