Vienna finds out about the affair, Parker has a solution for Liberty and Brad is having a boy.
Liberty comes downstairs looking for her mom. Jack tells her she's gone. She got a text from Paul about the paperwork and now it has vanished. Jack makes excuses for Janet and she storms out, bumping into Parker on the way. She complains that his dad is scared of her mom. He can understand why Jack doesn't want to get involved and suggests that she remove herself from the situation by getting an apartment. He's reached an understanding with Craig about his trust fund and offers her the cash for it. He even put down a deposit on a place for her. Jack comes out and she informs him that she is moving to her own apartment. "That is so not happening," Jack says. He speaks to Parker alone and makes it clear that this is not about him living with her; he just doesn't want her to be torn apart by all the people around her. Jack thinks he should have thought about this more before he did this. Parker goes to Liberty with what his father said, but none of it surprises her. He urges her to talk to her parents. She needs some time.
Parker and Liberty go to see the apartment. She tells him it's perfect but kind of expensive. She doesn't know how she could ever pay him back. "I would be so, so lost without you," she says, hugging him.
At home, Brad is looking for alternative tests and colleges for Liberty. He's upset that she 'unfriended' him. Katie tells him to pay some more attention to his other child. He leaps up, assuming that she is in labor. She's not, she just has an appointment and is eager to find out the sex of their baby. He doesn't want to know.
At the hotel, Henry is trying to make excuses to Ralph but it only makes the mobster mad. Henry tells him how desperate he has been to get the money for him and he is losing everything. When he asks Ralph to 'do his worst', Ralph laughs. He serves him a drink and claims he admires his guts. Ralph gives him 24 hours to get his money and urges him to pull out all of the stops. Henry gulps.
Audrey arrives at the hotel and checks with the concierge to see if Barbara and Vienna have come in. As she searches around for them, Ralph bumps into her and says that he's given her son another day. She's disappointed that he isn't being good to her son. He tells her to stay out of this. "Do what you always do and that's take care of yourself," he says. As soon as he leaves, she tries calling for a flight. When she reaches in her purse, she finds a picture of Henry and decides she can't abandon him.
Vienna is shocked to find Barbara in her bed. Barbara says she's in the wrong room. Vienna laughs and says she can't believe that, for a minute, she thought that Henry was having an affair with her. Vienna's sure he would never cheat on her with someone so old. That's enough to make Barbara angry. "We are having an affair," she declares. They trade insults and Vienna refuses to believe that Henry would betray her with 'an old, desperate, lonely woman'. Barbara tells her to do something classy for once and disappear. When she brings up what Henry can do with feathers, Vienna explodes and jumps her just as Henry comes in and pulls them apart. Vienna orders him to tell her what Barbara says isn't true. He takes Barbara outside and can't believe that she showed up in his room like this. "I need you to re-kindle my fame," she says. "Your flame has burned down my whole life!" he shouts. He tells her that he has no interest in her and never wants to see her again. "That's your loss," Barbara pouts. Henry returns to Vienna and tells her he loves her. She doesn't want to hear his excuses and can't believe what an idiot she has been. "This is about Ralph," he explains, telling her the story about the mob and that he was forced to sleep with Barbara. His excuses don't help. They prove he wasn't only cheating, he was also lying, laundering money and nearly got her killed. "This is the last time you get to break my heart," she says. He asks her to run away with him but she refuses and walks out.
Brad and Katie are at the hospital. She's eager to know what the sex of the baby will be. The technician comes in and they learn that it's a boy. They talk about all the other kids they could have. He wants five so they can have a band.
Katie and Brad go out for ice cream. He leaves to see Jack as Vienna walks in. Katie tells her that she is having a boy. Vienna slouches at the table and tells her about Henry's affair. Katie tries explaining what he did and Vienna realizes she must have known about this and helped him betray her. She bursts into tears and storms out. Katie runs after her.
Vienna sadly packs her bags.
Henry shows up at Katie's and tells her he's a 'blight on the universe'. He's ready to run off and is sure that Vienna doesn't love him anymore. He wants her to move on and find someone better than him. Katie tells him not to give up. "I came here to say goodbye forever," he says.
Barbara arrives at the hospital to see her oncologist. He informs her that she is cancer free. She throws her arms around him and thanks him.
Audrey goes to the hospital and chats with a nurse about a medication. When she discovers that the bottle she's holding could kill someone, Audrey tells herself that Henry won't have to worry for much longer.
She heads back to the hotel and pays Barbara a visit. After learning her good news, Audrey tells her they would both do anything to help their sons. Barbara says that she's never done anything as bad as she has to protect her son. Audrey thinks they should drink to her good medical news. As she smiles, she holds the poison in her hands.
Brad tells Jack that he's having a boy. They get beers and Jack tells him how proud he is of him.
