Emma pleads with Lily, Lily gives Holden an ultimatum, Henry tries to fool Vienna, Jack and Carly butt heads, Parker and Liberty react to their love making and Janet worries about Liberty's actions.
After they make love, Liberty is very quiet. Parker wonders what is wrong but before they can talk, Carly arrives home and calls out to him. Parker sneaks out of the room but avoids Carly seeing him. He returns and both get dressed in a hurry.
At the police station, Jack tells Janet she is overreacting because their kids aren't having sex. Carly calls and Janet answers the phone, she says she needs to talk to Jack right away. Jack calls her back and she tells him he needs to come to the house right away so they can talk about Parker.
Parker hears Jack come in; Liberty says she has to go. Parker asks if he was okay in bed; she says she doesn't know because she's never done it before. He is surprised; she believes he thinks she is a "loose woman" and is very upset. Parker tries talking to her but Liberty rushes out the window.
Janet finds Liberty at Brad's and asks if they can talk. She brings up Brad's reaction to the contraceptives and apologizes. Janet realizes Liberty is very quiet and asks what happened. Liberty won't say and Janet deduces that she slept with Parker but Liberty won't admit it. Janet says if she did, she doesn't have to do it again. Liberty goes to her room. She tries to call Parker but he doesn't answer his phone.
When Jack arrives, Carly says Parker has locked himself in his room and won't talk to her. Jack says he doesn't blame the kid because Lily was like a second mother to him. Carly begs Jack to help her get through to Parker before the boy does something stupid. Carly tells him things are over with Holden and asks him again to help her. Jack isn't interested in helping her get through to the kiddo though. Jack accuses her of making stupid mistakes; she begs him not to take the kids from her. Janet arrives and says she needs to talk to Jack.
Jack and Janet return to the farm. She tells him the kids are having sex and he blames her! She can't believe it and says she wasn't encouraging Liberty and Parker to have sex - she was trying to protect them! She begs him not to blame her. He says he doesn't blame her but she shouldn't have provided birth control. They keep arguing. Parker walks in and asks if Jack is still up for that fishing trip. Jack jumps at the idea and says they'll leave immediately. Parker goes to pack the truck. Jack tells Janet to lay down the law with her kid!
Holden goes to Lily's and begs her to talk to him. She asks if he has talked to Bonnie and he says he doesn't want to do that yet. He asks for a second chance! He says the kids deserve them to take time and really try this time. Lily says if he really wanted to try again he wouldn't have slept with Carly! Lily says she wants a divorce and asks him to leave. After he is gone, Emma stops by. She asks Lily to give Holden another chance. Lily says she can't but Emma says she has to because of the kids.
Holden goes to church and sits quietly, wondering where he went wrong. He says he loves Lily, he loves his kids but he also loves Carly. As he is talking, Carly arrives. They talk about their mistakes. Holden wonders where they do from here and Carly says they have to bury their feelings and start moving forward - alone! He says he doesn't want to move on without her. She says they have to.
Henry sees Vienna at Al's and asks why they aren't more romantic lately; she says he has been too preoccupied with Metro. Frustrated, Henry leaves.
Bonnie stops by Metro and Henry begs her to help him win over Vienna. He says if she would do some phony legal work for him, they could win Vienna over to the Metro idea. Bonnie doesn't want to do it but he convinces her to help him.
Bonnie stops by Al's, pretending to look for Henry. Vienna asks what she wants. Bonnie says she has personal papers for Henry and Vienna convinces her to leave them at the diner. Bonnie acts suspicious. Vienna ignores the papers for a few seconds but then opens the envelope. Bonnie watches from outside and calls Henry to report that the plan is working.
Vienna arrives at Metro, very excited that Henry is going to give up Metro. He goes on and on about how tenuous their position is with only Al's but Vienna doesn't listen. She says they will be fine and is quite excited that Henry is dropping the Metro idea. She convinces her to come home to celebrate right away.
Henry finds Bonnie a little later and says they plan backfired. He says he can't give up on Metro but they have to find another way.
