Luke and Alex meet potential lovers. Luke noticed a very handsome, blonde young lady which he rates 10 out of 10. Haley remarks that she might be a bit too old for him but he responds that Jennifer Lopez can be 90 but still that won't stop him from using her as a pillow in his imagination. The woman, named Cindy, discusses the view from the train with Luke. He he erratically talks about the location of Lake Superior. He excuses himself so he can boast to Manny, who isn't too sure of his success. Luke does push-ups to pump himself up and heads back. He flirts with her, which she likes, but then offers to show him a few things. Luke suggests to get to a more quiet place, thinking he has a chance and to his happiness, she agrees.
In the silent coupe, Luke is starting to take her shoe off, which kinda surprises her, but her intention in the first place was to show him the right location of Lake Superior, as she reveals that she teaches geography and just wanted to give him some lessons as she feels he is in need of those.
Alex falls in love with a guy who manipulates her and steals her wallet.
Manny, on the other side, tries to woo Alex. Mitchell and Claire write a toast for Dede and discuss her relationship with her new man, with Jay and Gloria.
