Following the events of the previous episode, Rebecca realizes that she has to make serious adjustments in her life, specifically her relationship with her ex-boyfriend, Josh. In the opening scene, Rebecca seeks the help of Father Brah in an attempt to avoid Josh. But as expected, her plan is short-lived when she comes across Josh at a local park. While their initial conversation goes well, the moment Josh reveals that he is moving to New York, Rebecca becomes overwhelmed, and the two part ways.
Meanwhile, Paula discovers that Trent has been stalking Rebecca and despite a restraining order, he's trying to make contact. Paula initially tries to keep the information from Rebecca, but ultimately decides to tell her friend in person at a bar. Rebecca's initial reaction is to file a restraining order, but Paula's husband, Scott, suggests that she should instead focus on finding peace and closure, leading them to plan a "Goodbye West Covina" ceremony.
As the day of Josh's departure approaches, Nathaniel and Rebecca attend a business meeting together and end up running into Josh at the airport. Nathaniel sees this as the perfect opportunity for Rebecca to reconcile with Josh, who he believes is her "true love." During their conversation, Josh reveals his fear of not being able to make things work in New York, and Rebecca opens up about her fear of commitment. Nathaniel urges Josh to take a leap of faith and pursue Rebecca, while Rebecca confronts her fears about being in a committed relationship.
At the "Goodbye West Covina" ceremony, Rebecca decides to make her feelings for Josh clear, and with a little persuasion from her friends, she goes to the airport and confesses her love for him. But just as Josh is about to respond, Rebecca has a sudden realization that she's not ready for a committed relationship and decides to take a leap of faith by not pursuing Josh any further.
Ultimately, the episode highlights the theme of taking risks and facing fears, and how difficult it can be to make tough decisions when there is so much at stake. While Rebecca ultimately decides not to pursue Josh, the episode leaves fans wondering what the future holds for the couple and whether there's a chance for them to reconcile in the future.
