Only after coming home to find that she's hired a babysitter while looking for a new job do Charlie and Kirsten learn that Daphne's been fired. Although Charlie is unable to find her something, Kirsten gets Daphne an interview at the hospital where she works. And after lying about her qualifications, she's hired as the assistant to Kirsten's boss. Meanwhile, as the author of an anonymous Internet column goes after Claudia's new friends at school, Charlie tries to motivate an alienated student. And as Julia's editor pushes her to look more critically at her parents, Sarah decides to go to New York to find her real father. While Daphne struggles with the demands of a new boss, Claudia begins to suspect a friend of writing the hateful column. But her inquiries backfire when she's accused of being the author. After Charlie uses an unusual project to get Myra's attention, a classmate also encourages Julia to take a closer look at her family. However, when Bailey insists that she not write critically of their mom and dad, Julia considers moving out so that she can finish the book away from her family's prying eyes. When Daphne announces that she's quitting, Kirsten's warnings about the consequences of a checkered job history force her to think twice. And as Julia begins to suspect that Evan's advice is motivated by his own wife's suicide, Claudia is suddenly off the hook when she becomes a target of the spiteful column, too. As Daphne persuades Kirsten to accept her decision about the job, Sarah convinces Julia not to move out. Finally, while Kirsten decides that she's ready to become a parent, Bailey makes it clear how happy he is to have Julia staying after all as he anxiously sends Sarah off to New York.
