==Episode Summary==
===Plot A: Alexa and Tony's plan===
The episode opens with Alexa and a mystery guy accidentally touching hands while reaching into a bowl full of donut balls on the set of Alexa's new movie. The two end up awkwardly apologising to each other while insisting the other to take a ball first. The mystery guy offers Alexa the first turn with the excuse that he didn't need to eat a donut ball at that current time. Alexa defends herself by revealing that she was feeling insomniac from the previous night; meaning that she did require it. When the guy asks her to provide more details, the scene shifts to a flashback of the previous night, where Dean and Savannah are seen making loud sexual noises through a karaoke machine in the living room. Alexa ends up marching off to Rachel's room in frustration and bangs on her door to open it. Alexa immediately asks Rachel for "help", and the two are seen playing a new song that they wrote together titled "Better Than Revenge" in Rachel's bedroom. The scene briefly cuts back to the present, where the guy makes comments about Alexa's situation. She ends up interrupting him by telling him that the situation got "worse". The scene then cuts back to the flashback, where Reuben is seen barging into Rachel's room while wearing headgear; telling the two women to keep quiet. Back in the present, the guy appears amused at Alexa's story. He finally introduces himself to her as "Anthony" or "Tony", and Alexa does the same to him. She also questions his occupation on the set, where he reveals that he was actually one of Alexa's costars in the film. After a little while, Tony agrees to leave Alexa alone, however before doing so he briefly flirts with her. As he walks off, Alexa stares at him and begins to blush, causing her to feel immediately worried.
Following the opening credits, Alexa rings Jane on her cell phone in order to ask her for advice. A half-asleep Jane answers her phone and immediately asks Alexa about what she was doing. Alexa ends up explaining her recent situation with Tony and reveals that she might have feelings for him. Jane (alongside a wide awake Charlie also) simply tells Alexa to finally move on from Dean and give Tony a chance. When Alexa hangs up on Jane, Tony interrupts her and agrees to sit across from her. The two share a long-winded chat about Dean, and Tony eventually reveals his previous dating history as well. Towards the end of the conversation, Tony suggests for Alexa to join him on a date to the same restaurant that Dean and Savannah was planning on going to. When Alexa becomes unconvinced at first, Tony reminds her that it would be a "win-win" situation for her. She eventually caves when he offers to pay for their dinner.
The following night, Dean and Savannah are seen putting together their outfits before leaving to go on their date. Savannah eventually spots Alexa standing in the kitchen in casual clothing and sarcastically asks her about her plans for the night. Alexa simply responds with "stuff". Savannah further insults Alexa before her and Dean finally leave. Once they leave, Alexa slips off her casual clothing into a pretty dress as she lets Tony in through the side door. The two end up complimenting each other before the conversation leads back to their plan. Alexa reveals that she had Savannah's phone GPS tracked; revealing the location of the date. Tony also suggests for Dean and Savannah to grab a four-seater at the restaurant. Alexa is left confused at this command as the two leave the house as well.
Alexa and Tony are seen driving to the restaurant when Tony suggests for Alexa to ring the restaurant to request a four-seater for Dean and Savannah. She ends up ringing the hostess as she puts in the strange request on their behalf; pretending to be Dean's mother. When the hostess asks her about Dean and Savannah's appearances, she ends up describing them by insulting them. She hangs up on the hostess and her and Tony high-five, just as they arrive to the restaurant themselves. They soon spot Dean and Savannah approaching the hostess and agree to tail them. Savannah soon requests a two-seater for her and Dean, however the hostess tells her about the phone call she just received about the four-seater. The two begin to protest this and demand to two-seater, but the hostess reveals to them that there was a four hour wait on one; with a no wait on a four-seater. The pair hesitate for a second before taking the four-seater. The hostess lets them inside the restaurant, and Alexa and Tony immediately rush into the restaurant after them.
Alexa and Tony enter the restaurant and immediately find Dean and Savannah sitting at their four-seater. They go over to approach them, which prompts them to stand up and introduce themselves to each other. Alexa ends up introducing Tony, and Dean ends up introducing himself (with input from Savannah mentioning him by his full name). Tony and Dean then shake hands as they all guide each other to sit down at their table. It is obvious at this stage that Dean wasn't too fond of Tony; possibly out of jealousy.
Later that night, Savannah rants to Dean about an airline mix-up while Dean responds with a comment of outrage. Not long later, it is revealed that Dean wasn't actually listening to Savannah, but he was staring at Alexa and Tony instead. Savannah quickly notices this as Dean begins to apologise to her. Savannah continues on with her rant as Dean stares for much longer, this time noticing Tony adjusting Alexa's hair. This act bothers him as well and he lets Tony know about it. They proceed to get into an argument with each other, where Dean questions whether or not Tony was "good enough" for Alexa. He ends up asking him a bunch of personal questions about Alexa, which he seemingly knows the answers to. Despite this Dean doesn't appear convinced, which prompts Tony into suggesting to "prove" his worthiness for her by competing in a bunch of physical challenges with each other. The scene then cuts to the two men competing in challenges such as scrunched up napkin basketball, food catching and competitive eating in a montage sequence with a further rendition of "Better Than Revenge" playing in the background.
For a brief moment during Plot B, the scene cuts to a shot of Dean and Tony arm wrestling each other.
Dean and Tony appear to have every customer in the restaurant (bedsides visibly annoyed Alexa and Savannah of course) rooting for them as Tony declares their final challenge: a game of tug-o-war. The two women attempt to remind the men to stop however they choose to ignore them. Tony then grab a nearby rope and ties a sock around the middle of it. Just as the match commences the hostess from earlier brings Savannah a plate of spaghetti and leaves it in Dean's spot at the table. Meanwhile the match eventually gets underway, but it doesn't take long before Tony wins by a substantial amount. As Tony yanks on the rope, Dean ends up running towards him out-of-control and lands face first into his plate of spaghetti. Tony crowns himself the "winner" as his supporters gather around him. He eventually joins Alexa again as Dean struggles to stand up; complaining of a piece of spaghetti getting stuck up his nose. Savannah appears to get frustrated at him and ends up storming out, and Alexa and Tony soon follow her. Once they leave, the hostess foots Dean with the bill for the evening. He ends up in tears as a result.
Alexa and Tony, along with Savannah, are standing near each other outside of the restaurant when Dean immediately approaches them. Savannah yells at Dean for the events that occurred earlier, and the two engage in a brutal argument resulting in her breaking up with him. She runs away as Dean feels powerless. Tony proceeds to ask Dean about Savannah, and when Dean feels helpless, Tony ends up chasing after Savannah in order to "comfort" her. When Dean and Alexa are left alone, Dean makes a joke about their current situation, however Alexa refuses to find it funny. She begins to yell at him, and the two share a heated argument. As Dean begins to apologise to her, Alexa suggests for the two to end their friendship for good. Dean ends up crying at this news and attempts to beg Alexa for forgiveness once more, however she simply leaves him alone. Dean attempts to yell at her when she leaves, however he is once again left helpless as he continues to cry to himself.
===Plot B: Rachel's reunion===
Jane and Charlie are seen participating in a guided tour of a wedding venue alongside a tour guide and a bunch of other engaged couples. As the tour guide leaves the couples alone, Jane appears extremely fond of the venue as she attempts to encourage Charlie to pick it for their wedding venue. Charlie refuses at first; citing that she already made the same comments about the three previous venues they visited. Jane encourages him to ask Rachel for her opinion, however at first Rachel is nowhere to be seen. A few seconds later Rachel enters the room holding a champagne glass (seemingly a little drunk), and begins to make sly insults towards marriage before Jane finally asks her for her opinion on the wedding venue. Rachel proceeds to insult it, prompting Charlie to question why she was even brought to the tour. Rachel provides him with two reasons with visual aides: 1) She gets to insult all engaged couples that visit and 2) The unlimited free champagne. These comments end up making Jane and Charlie uncomfortable as they agree to leave Rachel on her own for a while. Rachel appears okay with this as she walks off to a different part of the room. Here she ends up conversing with an elderly lady about the venue and marriage as a whole. Soon later Rachel recognises the lady to be her great aunt Pearl, and the two share an embrace. Rachel manages to hide her champagne glass as the two share a heartfelt discussion about Rachel's married life. Rachel just about mentions her divorce with Dean, however Pearl mentions that her husband (Rachel's great uncle) passed away the previous year and he actually left a bunch of his possessions in Rachel's name as a wedding gift for her and Dean. Rachel ends up gulping down more champagne before she asks Pearl about the contents of the possessions. Pearl ends up giving her a list, making Rachel choke on her champagne.
Rachel is seen discussing the list with Jane, Charlie and Reuben, where it is revealed that her great-uncle left her with a lot of expensive items including a multi million dollar beach house! All three friends agree to allow Rachel to see the beach house in person before making a decision, and she does so while letting them come with her.
Rachel, Jane, Charlie and Reuben arrive at the doorstep of Rachel's great-uncle's beach house and proceed to make comments about how secluded the place was. Charlie rings the doorbell to the house and a fancy chime ends up playing. Pearl answers the door to the friends and invites them inside. Pearl mistakes Charlie for Dean, however Rachel ends up coming to his defence by saying that Dean was away on a trip with no cell phone reception. Jane, Charlie and Reuben proceed to admire the contents of the house (including the large garage and the private beach) while Pearl and Rachel engage in a discussion with each other. Rachel continues to lie about her marriage with Dean and Pearl further explains the advantages of raising children in the house. Eventually Rachel wonders if Pearl would let her keep the house despite not being married, however Pearl explains to her that the possessions were symbolic of young marriage. She then hands Rachel the keys and offers her the house. Rachel continues to deny her divorce and convinces Pearl to allow her time to think about it.
Back at home, Rachel paces back and forth as she isn't sure what to do. Jane, Charlie and Reuben all seem convinced for her to take the house, and they proceed to make a pros and cons list to help her decide. They all fill out the pros column with ease, however Rachel leads with one huge con that she would be lying to her great-aunt. Right then and there Rachel ends up making her decision and leaves to find Pearl at the beach house.
When Rachel arrives back at the beach house, Pearl prompts her to sit down on the couch and proceeds to give her another wedding gift: an antique vase that was used to bless a long and happy married life. Rachel takes possession of the vase and shares an embrace with Pearl, however the moment is short-lived when Rachel finally reveals the truth about her divorce. Pearl gets startled by this news and walks out the back door to the private beach. Rachel joins her and the two engage in a heated discussion. Rachel reveals how guilty she's felt about ending the marriage and how upset she was that she felt like a failure. At one point during this discussion, the scene cuts to a shot from Plot A before cutting back. Pearl begins to sympathise with her and eventually allows her to keep the possessions despite her marital status. She also once again offers her the option of moving into the beach house away from her friends. Rachel once again asks her for extra time to make up a final decision.
During the closing credits, Rachel arrives home to Main Street to find Blanket chugging a carton of orange juice with Jane and Reuben egging her on in the kitchen. Blanket eventually finishes the carton, allowing the two to applaud her. Rachel walks back outside, closes the door behind her and makes a comment alluding to her iconic opening line. She ultimately decides to stay at Main Street with her friends instead of moving to the beach house.
