As he and Kirsten forge ahead with their plans to get pregnant, the cost of the effort forces Charlie to take on another job. As Charlie asks her to take over tutoring Myra, Claudia worries about Alexa finding out about her and Cameron. While Evan insists that he and Julia cannot have anything other than a strictly professional relationship, Bailey enlists Griffin and Will in a trip to see Sarah. Only after leaving do they discover that Bailey intends to make the cross-country trip in three days to surprise Sarah. And when the trio is stranded by a breakdown, Bailey reveals that Sarah has no idea he's coming to bring her home. In an effort to get back on the road as soon as possible, Bailey tracks down the parts they need for the truck. But having had enough of his single-minded obsession, both Griffin and Will decide to go back home. Meanwhile, as Myra stumbles onto the truth about Claudia and Cameron, Julia openly challenges Evan during an important marketing conference. And while she ends up finding a clearer purpose in her writing, the experience leaves Evan wondering if they should be having sex after all. After having second thoughts, Griffin and Will offer to rejoin Bailey's trip. Yet, giving their harsh assessment of his unannounced visit some thought, Bailey decides to return home with them instead. As Kirsten's medication diminishes her interest in sex, Daphne tries to relieve Charlie's burden by claiming she's found work. While Daphne seeks Victor's help in order to find the job she's now supposed to have, Claudia decides to break off her secret affair with Cameron. Finally, Kirsten surprises Charlie at the fertility clinic.
