==Episode Summary==
[IZZA'S POST COUNTDOWN: 3hrs, 17 mins, 45 secs]
The episode opens with Alexa frosting a cake in the kitchen when Dean approaches her in curiosity. She quickly explains to him that she was baking a cake as a gift for her and Rachel's upcoming friend-a-versary (which is quickly revealed to be the anniversary of when the two "friended" each other on Headbook). She also reveals that the pair were planning on spending the day together, which prompts Dean into telling her his and Reuben's plan on an attending their boss' son's eighth birthday party that day. He then ponders about what gift to give the son when Reuben enters the room operating Dean's old remote control helicopter (the one he received in Wild Celebration) as a gift suggestion. Dean gets immediately annoyed at Reuben, who reveals that he took it from underneath Dean's bed. Dean then tells him that it had sentimental value to him by reciting the events of the day he got it, however Reuben rudely chooses to ignore him. He continues to operate the helicopter, however he noticeably finds difficulty controlling him. Suddenly he flies the helicopter towards Dean, which makes him trip and fall face first into Alexa's cake. Alexa immediately gets annoyed as Dean stands up with frosting all over his face. Reuben then suggests for him to give the helicopter as a gift one final time before Dean gives him a disapproved look. He then sarcastically "thanks" him; believing that he broke his nose. Alexa later does the same.

Following the opening credits, Alexa approaches Rachel's apartment door with her cake in hand when she knocks on the door. Rachel (from inside) instructs her to open the door herself and she does. Upon entering, Alexa gets startled by the sight of Rachel doing yoga with a random instructor. Rachel stands up and apologises to her as she dismisses her instructor. The two share a brief conversation about him when Alexa finally mentions their friend-a-versary day. She then presents her her cake, and Rachel appears to immediately recognise Dean's face-print in it. Alexa becomes impressed as Rachel simply sets the cake aside, and the two discuss their upcoming agenda for the day. They then agree to leave at that moment, however Alexa asks Rachel for her gift. As Rachel appears to have forgotten, she agrees to present Alexa her gift later that day.

Dean and Reuben arrive at a kids' play centre carrying a small gift for their boss' son. The pair begin to discuss its contents with pride (a set of marbles), however when they glance at the son's other more expensive gifts they soon feel shame. Suddenly their boss greets them and thanks them for coming. As he leaves, Dean and Reuben begin having a discussion about the play centre that they were in. Their attention leads to the ballpit, so Dean dares Reuben to sit in it with no shoes. Reuben agrees on the condition that Dean goes down the slide with no shoes also. They both confirm their dares with a handshake. As the pair set down their phones on the table with the presents, Reuben proceeds to enter the ballpit with disgust, and Dean ends up climbing into the play structure to go down the slide. Upon entering Dean soon gets stuck and struggles to get out. He then calls out for Reuben to help him, so he ends up leaving him to get a staff member's attention. Just as the Reuben runs off, the camera pans to a shot of Izza entering the play centre from the other side. Dean is left stuck in the slide in an awkward position when a small group of kids approach the slide with the intention to use it. Dean simply shoos them away by telling them that the slide was closed.

Alexa and Rachel are at a day spa getting facials, manicures and pedicures alongside each other when the two discuss Rachel's ability to recognise Dean's face print in Alexa's cake from earlier. Alexa then briefly discusses her admiration for Dean's loyalty when she remembers that Rachel had forgotten to give her her friend-a-versary gift. Rachel briefly asks Alexa for suggestions before making up a poem for her on the spot. Alexa is touched by the poem. As the countdown (mentioned above) counts down to 0, Alexa turns on her phone and begins blushing about Dean. Rachel immediately recognises her blush as the "Dean Ford blush" and proceeds to go into a tangent about her previous relationship with him before Alexa receives a notification from Dean's social media account. She then clicks on it to discover a post he made with him and Katherine Phelps stating that they were a couple. She then begins to grow outraged at it and discusses the prospect of Dean cheating on her with Rachel. Rachel then suggests for her to call Dean, and she does. At the kids' play centre, a small group of firefighters are seen attempting to get Dean unstuck from the slide still when Dean's phone suddenly rings from the present table. Dean then tells Reuben to answer his phone for him and he does. As Reuben answers, he quickly tells Alexa that Dean couldn't speak at that moment and hangs up on her. Alexa and Rachel are left furious as they stare at each other in shock.
Alexa and Rachel are seen eating acai bowls when they discuss the prospect of Dean cheating with each other once more. Rachel eventually asks Alexa to call Dean again, and she does. Back at the kids' play centre, the firefighters are still attempting to get Dean out of the slide when Alexa rings Dean's phone again. This time, Izza approaches his phone and answers it, causing Alexa to hang up immediately in horror. She begins to grow upset and angry at Dean before Rachel suggests for her to break up with him over text. She agrees, however Rachel quickly takes over from her to type out the text for her. Meanwhile back at the play centre, Dean finally gets unstuck from the slide. As he thanks the firefighters, the boss' son begins to grow upset at the sight of them and proceeds to get into a gocart in rage. Dean then approaches his phone to find Alexa's break up text. He immediately attempts to grab Reuben's attention about it, but as he does so the boss' son ends up running into Reuben with the gocart. As Reuben falls to the ground in a dazed state, Dean attempts to talk to him with little success. Dean then storms off in frustration.
A depressed Dean is seen sitting dejected at a kids table when the boss' son approaches him with a self-made drink in an attempt to cheer him up. Dean proceeds to consume it before the son reveals that he made it with his "bodily fluids", causing Dean to spit the drink out and give it back to the kid. Suddenly a disguised Izza approaches Dean and asks him about his ordeal with Alexa. He then tells her as Izza attempts to cheer him up. She eventually suggests for him to have meaningless sex with her at her place, which he declines at first before finally agreeing.
Alexa and Rachel are seen driving to their next location when Alexa continues to vent about Dean and Katherine. Eventually Alexa gets the idea to go to Katherine's house to bust Dean in the act of cheating and makes Rachel drive her to it. Around an hour later, the women slowly approach Katherine's front door when they hear loud music playing from inside. They proceed to make a comment about it before finally knocking on Katherine's door. Katherine answers the door in a bikini as Alexa begins interrogating her about Dean. Katherine soon invites Alexa and Rachel into her house as they all continue to discuss Dean. Katherine repeatedly denies being romantic with Dean, and upon inspecting Dean's social media post, she confirms that it was fake. She then tells the women that she was lesbian and that she was engaging in a threeway with two women at that moment. Suddenly two attractive young women in bikinis emerge from Katherine's bedroom, making Rachel intrigued. Alexa chooses to ignore them as she realises her mistake of breaking up with Dean. She then asks Rachel to leave to go talk to him, however when she turns back to look at where Rachel was standing she doesn't appear there. Instead she is seen standing in between the two women and asks Alexa to give her "five minutes". Katherine suggests for them to go for ten minutes as she joins Rachel and the women in her bedroom. Alexa stares at them in annoyance.
Dean enters Izza's living room and proceeds to comment about the house and location before he joins her on her couch. She then begins to flirt with him and kiss his cheek before he stops her; citing that he believed that his nose was broken (from earlier in the episode). Izza chooses to ignore him as she continues to kiss him, even after he pleads her to stop. She eventually kisses him on the lips, causing him to jump up and offer to leave. As he attempts to approach the door, Izza takes off her sunglasses, revealing her identity to him. He immediately recognises her from their ordeal from earlier in the season and begins questioning her about her intentions with Alexa. While she denies doing anything with her at first, Dean begins to question why she broke up him. Izza then tells him about his social media post, and Dean pieces together the fact that Izza was the one who posted it. She then finally confesses to wanting to kill Alexa and steal her life. Dean then threatens to tell her, however Izza herself gives him the threat that if he told her or anyone that he would be killed himself. He ends up gaining the courage to leave, and Izza asks him to promise to not tell anyone. Dean simply looks at her as he leaves to back to the play centre.
Alexa and Rachel enter the play centre together when they notice that the party has died out. They later find Dean and Reuben's boss and share a conversation with him, where he reveals their locations and states of mind. The women later find Dean sitting at a kids table again as Alexa approaches him. The two share an emotional conversation about the ordeal and they eventually agree to get back together. The two share a tight embrace as Rachel watches on from a distance. Suddenly the boss' son approaches Alexa and gives her one of his self-made drinks, and she consumes it out of kindness. Dean quickly reminds her about the drinks' contents, causing her to run off to the bathroom to wash her mouth out. Suddenly Dean and Rachel are left alone together as they briefly stare at each other in silence. Eventually Dean breaks the ice by making the realisation that Rachel had sex earlier and makes a comment to her about it; breaking his no-words new years resolution from a few episodes earlier. The two then share a heartfelt conversation of reconciliation, where Dean eventually thanks Rachel for bringing Alexa home to him at Christmas. Rachel simply tells him that she was happy to help a "friend" as she walks off. Dean stares off at her and smiles to himself.
During the closing credits, Dean is seen approaching a hospital room with a bouquet of flowers when a staff member asks him whether or not it was for his girlfriend. Dean lies to her awkwardly as he enters the room to find Reuben lying in the bed. The two share an embrace as Dean presents him with his flowers as an apology; citing that it was from everyone. He also reveals that he had taken an x-ray that proved that his nose wasn't broken. Reuben appears sceptical yet touched at the gesture as he reveals that he bought Dean a present himself out of kindness. He then pulls out a chest from under his hospital bed and presents it to Dean. Dean excitedly opens it to find it completely empty. Reuben then explains to him that it was storage to keep any items and memories that had sentimental value to him (including the helicopter from earlier), which Dean appears touched by. Dean suddenly gets the idea to add his first "memory" to the chest by offering to take a selfie with Reuben. As he sits next to him on his bed and pulls out his phone, Reuben takes his phone off of him and ends up elbowing Dean in the nose. This causes Dean's nose to actually break this time, making him yell out in pain. Reuben makes a joke out of it and casually mentions all of the other breaks he has caused to Dean; alluding it to an collection of objects from a movie.
