## Episode Summary

### ***Opening scene***

The episode opens with Jane and Rachel emptying a storage unit in the living room to determine which of Rachel's things were worth keeping. Jane first pulls out a robot shaped cookie jar, which Rachel immediately tells her to throw out. She briefly goes into a story about the jar before Blanket enters the room; questioning the women about what they were doing. Jane begins to instruct her before Rachel draws her attention back to the task. At one point Jane pulls out a ring box with Rachel's old engagement ring in it. Jane proceeds to stare at it for a few seconds before Rachel tells her to keep it; citing its value. A short while later Dean comes down the stairs holding a box of Rachel's old junk. Rachel proceeds to make a rude joke towards him, which none of the friends end up finding funny. Rachel seems defeated by this and distracts herself by agreeing to take the first bag of junk out to the garbage bins outside. Jane and Blanket soon choose to follow her.

### **Plot A: Dean and Reuben's high**

Following the opening credits, Alexa arrives home in an excited manner to find Reuben peaking into a bag in the living room. Seeming that he was the only friend present at the time, Alexa proceeds to tell him about some good news that she received - that she ended up booking an audition for an indie movie. Reuben (while appearing seemingly lost in his mystery bag) half-heartedly asks her about her audition process as she happily explains it to him. She also reveals that the audition was set to take place later that afternoon. She then asks him to give her some help, however Reuben interrupts her and tells her that he was planning on doing something "important". He proceeds to head upstairs to his room while holding his bag of goodies.

Dean opens his and Reuben's bedroom door to be met with a mist of smoke. He begins to choke on it as he eventually enters the room to find Reuben smoking weed. Reuben (while under the influence) then tells him to leave the door open as he begins to explain what he was doing. Dean begins to get angry at him before Reuben attempts to calm him down. He attempts to convince him to join him, however he simply declines at first. Reuben then asks him a second time, citing that the weed would simply "take all his pain away". Dean once again declines and attempts to exit the room, but in doing so he accidentally kicks his toe on his dresser near the door. Suddenly the scene cuts to a shot of Dean finally giving into Reuben's peer pressure, where the two are seen happily wasted. Dean then mentions that he believes his big toe was broken, however the weed made him not feel it at all. The two are then seen giggling together.

Dean and Reuben continue to smoke a couple of joints together, further establishing and increasing their high. After a little while, the two stand up and Reuben encourages himself and Dean to reveal some deep and dark secrets. Here Reuben volunteers to go first, in which he reveals that he was actually homosexual. Dean congratulates Reuben before immediately going into his own secret: that he had feelings for Alexa. Whether or not this was true, Reuben encourages Dean to ring her immediately to reveal his feelings. He ends up calling her and she answers, however she hangs up rather quickly after it is revealed that she was currently at her audition. Dean gets offended when she hangs up on him. Reuben attempts to make him feel better by convincing him to actually go down to the production office to confess his feelings in person. Dean ends up having one more hit of weed before leaving immediately with Reuben.

The two arrive to the production office by Scuba and are still evidently high. Dean begins to ponder how the two would get past security, however Reuben convinces him to sneak by them. The scene then cuts to the two men entering the hall where Alexa was waiting where they immediately spot her. Alexa begins to grow concern towards them as Reuben reveals his homosexuality to the other women in the audition hall. Dean then begins to confess his feelings for Alexa before a casting director instructs her to enter the audition room. Alexa seemingly leaves the two men behind as she enters. Reuben then convinces Dean to go in after her, and they somehow do.

Alexa is seen presenting a monologue to a table of casting directors when the door to the office suddenly barges open. Here Dean and Reuben enter and immediately head towards Alexa. As the casting directors begin to get confused, Dean eventually confesses his feelings for Alexa. Alexa then pulls him aside (Reuben also confesses his homosexuality to the directors around the same time) and questions him. Dean then goes into a tangent about Alexa's lack of acting ability, and he begins to insult the directors when they put a stop to Alexa's audition. They force the three of them to leave as a security guard throws them all out on the street. While on the street, Reuben calls a Scuba while Dean and Alexa stare at each other in silence. Eventually Alexa breaks the ice by expressing her anger, but agrees to talk to him again when he's sober. She calls herself a Scuba as she abandons Reuben and Dean.

The following day, a freshly sober Dean comes out of the bathroom and immediately notices the pain in his right big toe. Alexa is seen sitting on the couch, and the two share a conversation about what had occurred the previous day. Dean attempts to apologise to her (albeit in a lot of pain), however Alexa begins to grow angry at him instead. The two proceed to engage in a heated argument which results in Alexa storming out and suggesting to never talk to him again. Once Alexa leaves, a freshly sober Reuben then enters the room holding a magazine. Dean then asks Reuben for it and Reuben hands it to him. Dean proceeds to slap Reuben with the magazine, leaving Reuben confused. Dean then reveals the ordeal from the previous day, and the two engage in a conversation that results in Reuben convincing Dean to beg the directors to give Alexa a redo on her audition. Dean agrees to leave to do this, before agreeing to visit a hospital first for his broken toe.

Dean arrives at the production office with a cane and proceeds to introduce himself to the directors. He then attempts to convince the directors to give Alexa a re-audition by citing how talented he thought she was. One of the directors then tells him that it was no use, which is quickly revealed to be because Alexa was already offered the part. Alexa then emerges from behind the directors, revealing that she already called them and that they offered her the part. She then shares an embrace with Dean as she feels immediately touched by his gesture of showing up. Dean apologises for the previous day once more, and this time Alexa forgives him. She then asks him about his feelings, however Dean denies it by blaming the intoxication of the weed. He then reveals how grateful he was for his and Alexa's friendship, and the two share another embrace. The director interrupts them by threatening to kick them out with security. The threat makes them leave immediately.

### **Plot B: Jane loses Rachel's ring**

Jane returns to her spot in front of the storage unit and immediately takes notice of the ring box sitting on top of it. She decides to face it away from her before finally caving and putting the actual ring on her finger. Not long later Blanket enters the room complaining about the workload when she takes notice of the empty ring box. Jane begins to attempt her innocence before finally confessing that she actually put the ring on. Blanket appears to disapprove at first before offering to put it on afterwards. Jane then attempts to take the ring off of her finger, however it is revealed that it was stuck on there. Blanket also attempts to pull it off with no success. Rachel then re-enters the room in a fatigued state, causing the pair to hide Jane's finger from her. Rachel doesn't appear to take any notice as she simply goes up the stairs to take a nap.

Blanket brings Jane to Macho Nachos, much to Jane's dismay. Blanket simply tells her to forget about it as the two approach the front counter in the restaurant. Once they get to the front Jane immediately shows off Rachel's ring to the employee, however he is immediately disinterested in it as he directs the women to the all you can eat toppings bar. Jane makes Blanket pay $30 for two plates as she makes her way over to the toppings. The scene then cuts to the two commenting about their loaded (or unloaded in Blanket's case) plates at the table when Blanket immediately notices that Rachel's ring was missing from Jane's finger. The two proceed to go into a panic.

Jane and Blanket discuss the potential whereabouts for Rachel's ring, and the two come to the conclusion that it was in the toppings. They then wait for an excuse to search all of them with no customers around. Suddenly the manager of the restaurant approaches the employee from earlier (revealed to be his son) and tells him that they were expecting a health inspector to arrive anytime that day. Jane immediately gets an idea, and the scene cuts to a shot of Jane and Blanket outside the restaurant dressed in lab coats, goggles, rubber gloves and face-masks. Blanket appears to disapprove of the idea.

Jane and Blanket enter the restaurant and head straight to the front counter, revealing their fake identities as the health inspectors. The manager expectedly believes them and begins to direct them towards the kitchens, however Jane tells him that her and Blanket were planning on searching the toppings bar. The manager lets them do this as the two women instruct all the customers to leave the bar. When the two are left alone, Jane instructs Blanket to search the toppings with her. They end up emptying all the contents on the floor, leaving a huge mess and looks from almost every customer. After a little while the real health inspectors turn up, causing Jane and Blanket to leave the restaurant in a panic.

Jane and Blanket re-enter the restaurant in their normal clothes when they immediately spot Rachel sitting a few tables over. As a female employee flirts with Rachel, Rachel rejects her and takes a mouthful of nacho toppings but immediately spits it out when she discovers her ring in the middle of it. Rachel recognises her ring straight away, leaving her confused. Blanket rushes over to her and proceeds to tell her about what had happened by blaming herself. Jane interrupts her by confessing that it was entirely her fault; citing that she was excited about becoming engaged soon. Rachel seemingly forgives Jane quite quickly as she agrees to leave; confessing that she would never eat at the restaurant again. When the three leave, Charlie is revealed to be ordering at the front counter after appearing to overhear the entire conversation. He proceeds to grin as he reveals to the employee that he had a plan.

The three arrive home to find a note taped to the front door. Jane reads it aloud to reveal that she was the only one allowed to enter through the front door while the other two had to enter elsewhere (a clear reference to Wild Weird Boy, which both Jane and Rachel acknowledge). The three obey this note as Jane enters the living room. She is immediately greeted by a candle-lit room with rose petals on the floor and Charlie wearing a tuxedo. Jane questions Charlie as it is revealed that he was proposing to her. Charlie gets down on one knee and gives Jane a heartfelt speech, ending with him popping the question. Jane hesitates a little, citing the size of the ring's diamond, before eventually saying yes. Charlie puts the ring on Jane's finger as the two share a kiss and an embrace.

During the closing credits, Jane and Charlie are seen slow dancing with each other to a romantic instrumental. After a little while Reuben emerges from the darkness in a choir robe and begins to belt out the song Real Love is Back, joined in by the others wearing the same thing. After the song all of the friends confess their awkwardness, causing them to all leave. Reuben stays back however as it is revealed that he filmed the whole song in an attempt to go viral. He grabs ahold of his phone and leaves the scene as well.
