## Plot

*Alice and Allen are trying to find inside the hole in the wall for anything that may have fallen out of the box they’ve found, but they don’t find anything other than a ball of tin foil.*

*Meanwhile, back in Attaway, Bobby tries to help Thomas with the baby who refuses. Bobby tells him not to brag about being a father when his two kids are both away for the summer and haven’t sent him a single postcard. Thomas says that’s Junior is fine but doesn’t want either of them to speak to Jo and that she should be helping him take care of the baby. Bobby tells him that he has a problem for scolding Jo and leaves the house.*

*In New York, Felix managed to get Jo a job at the World’s Fair in the "Underground House" who is liking it so far. He tells her about a book he had finished reading that she had suggested to him, and then asks her on a date to the comic book shop around the corner. Jo kindly declines and tells him she has to leave work a little early but will consider next time.*

*Abby is selling hot dogs at the stand when her Aunt Loretta comes over for a glass of water who appears to be very dizzy. Abby asks her if she’s ok, she says she’s a little hot and starts to faint. Abby tries to wake her up and calls for help.*

*Back in Attaway, Allen and Alice are still looking for clues of what could have been in the box. Alice looks at the box closely and notices that the logo imprinted on it symbolizes Crown Lake meaning it came from the town of Crown Lake. Allen wonders what a box with the old Crown Lake logo on it could have possibly been doing in the old Attaway Diner.*

*Jo arrives at the Park Avenue hotel. She tells the front desk that she is delivering a package, so the man at the desk offers to deliver it for her. He gets distracted when he gets a call on the phone which gives Jo the opportunity to sneak in the building freely.*

*Abby is in the "Underground House" with Felix and a security guard taking care of Loretta. Abby asks Felix where Jo is who says she had left early having somewhere else to be and wouldn’t tell him.*

*Jo sneaks in the hotel and sees the man from earlier give her letter to a woman named Mrs. Hollingsworth saying that it came for her. After the man leaves, Jo tries to speak with Mrs. Hollingsworth privately about the letter, but the man comes back in and tells her they will talk another time and leaves quickly.*

*Alice decides to take Allen to Crown Lake for the weekend to find answers about the box. Allen refuses and tells her that the arcade is far from ready and has to finish constructing it.*

*Meanwhile, back in New York, Abby takes Loretta back to the apartment to rest. Jo comes in, Loretta wonders where she’s been and asks why she had left work early. Jo tries to explain saying she had her first period and wasn’t prepared for it. Loretta is disturbed from hearing this and leaves the room, then Jo tells Abby it didn’t really happen saying that the truth is private. Abby is confused saying it isn’t fair that she isn’t being honest, but Jo said she did the same thing when she was with Harold and didn’t tell her.*

*Thomas is at home taking care of the baby when Bobby come in. He apologizes to him for getting mad earlier which Bobby forgives him.*

*Alice is arguing with Allen about how he’s too focused on his work and not being a good boyfriend. He tells her that maybe he doesn’t have the time and money to treat a rich girl. Then she suggests that maybe they shouldn’t be together anymore, which Allen nods. Alice is annoyed by this how he won’t even try to fight for her, Allen says that he want to be with her but doesn’t know what to do, saying that he doesn’t have the flexibility to relax in the summer like she does and get to go to fancy places and would rather stay building his arcade. Alice is disappointed but understands, she tells him she wishes him the best of luck, and leaves.*

*At Crown Lake, Dwight is fooling around having fun with another girl when Cathy catches him. She reminds him that they were supposed to meet up at the lake half an hour ago, he apologizes and says they were working but Cathy doesn’t believe him, and leaves.*
