Kate's Caught.

Sam is enjoying her hot tub as Lucky looks on. He pulls off his shirt and steps in with his jeans on. They immediately start making out.

Spinelli With A Gun?!?

Lainey and Stan share drinks on the roof, trying to escape the summer heat. He starts talking politics and she shuts him down, calling him narrow minded and wondering why he is so interested in his beliefs but isn't interested in getting to know people. They talk some more and Lainey decides to end the evening. She leaves, telling Stan they won't do this again.

Friend or Foe?

Epiphany and Lainey are at the nurse's desk when Epiphany remembers that tonight is Lainey's date with Stan. She hopes that her son takes her to a nice little bistro that she told him about. Just then, Stan shows up at the desk and tells Lainey that she's far too overdressed for where they are going. Lainey simply says that she is happy to "do casual". Stan tells her to meet him at 257 Bristol Street on the roof. Epiphany rolls her eyes and leaves, and Lainey goes to change.

Patrick has overheard and comments to Stan that it's a little hot for a rooftop date. Stan slyly says there won't be a chardonnay in sight either. He smiles as he tells Patrick that after tonight the "poster girl for privilege" won't want anything to do with him.

Lainey meets Stan on the roof at the address he gave her. He's surprised to see her in jeans and she says that she wouldn't wear heals to "Tar beach". He is surprised that she even knows that term and then he offers her a beer. She grabs one, and walks over to a brick ledge and pops the lid off with her hand. When they sit down to burgers, Stan tells her that she'd probably rather be at the Metro Court drinking overpriced wine and having people slave for her at minimum wage. Frustrated with her reaction (or lack thereof!), Stan asks, "Why are you working so hard to act like you like all this?" Lainey answers his question with a question, "Why are you working so hard to alienate me?"

Fireworks.

Stan goes to the hospital to see his mother, and finds her standing next to Lainey. Epiphany tells him that he can't leave the hospital until he asks Lainey for a date. Surprisingly, Lainey gets involved and says "Let's go somewhere private and settle this one-on-one." She and Stan go up to the roof and Lainey laughs and says the Epiphany just wants him to be happy. She asks if it would kill them to just go out and get it over with. She offers to spilt the check and simply go out as friends. Stan tells her that he's trying to change the world -- his way, and doing what his mother wants him to do is no way to start. Lainey suggests that he can stage his revolution after their token date. Then, Stan tells Lainey that she's not his type. Lainey lashes back that he's an arrogant jerk and isn't her type either. As Stan is about to leave the rooftop, he turns and says that a date is the only way to "squash this."

Amelia Tells Jason Everything.

The group at Jake's are pouring tequila shots and talking about babies. Robin admits that she loves holding and smelling them. She says that she always wanted to be a mother until she learned that she was HIV positive. She says that things have changed and now she can consider it. Someday -- but not now. So "everybody" can relax she says in Patrick's general direction. Patrick tells everyone that he's selfish, or too much of a kid himself, but he doesn't want to be a dad. Kelly slurs that Robin can choose be a mother all on her own - thanks to the advances in her own profession! Stan pipes up that a mother raising a child on her own isn't easy. Robin makes a toast Uncle Mac - who raised her single handedly. Patrick says that he was raised by his dad who focused on work only and they all had a good laugh because now Patrick has turned out the same way. They ask Coleman who raised him and he said that he had 5 daddies. Lainey asks Stan what it was like to be raised by Epiphany. He says that he loves his mama, but he knows that a father would've made a huge difference for him. Lainey says it's unfair for a woman to give up being a mother just because she's with a guy who doesn't want children. Stan says that if they listened to his mother he'd be dating Lainey. They all have a good laugh at that one and keep on pouring toasts. Robin walks over to Patrick's side of the bar and puts her arm around him. He recalls how "Sweet Little Miss Scorpio" changed his mind about commitments, but it stops there. Lainey tells them that she is hailing them a cap so that they can continue their conversation at home, and then she pushes them out the door.

Motherhood.

Stan has gone to the hospital to see Epiphany, but argues with Lainey when she asks him to take a look at her computer. After Lainey storms off, Epiphany asks Stan if it would've killed him to be nice to her, or maybe even ask her to dinner. Patrick interrupts as a favor to Stan. Then Epiphany tells Patrick that a head trauma is on her way up. A woman in a wheel chair is brought in and she's holding a baby girl. Robin is able to convince the woman to let her hold the baby and Patrick can't take his eyes off of the sight of her with a baby. After the baby is taken with the mother, Robin admits to Patrick that she had a tiny "baby moment". She rambles about how cute that little baby was, but how NOT into motherhood she is. She talks about the cost of college tuition these days and then says that she has rounds to do. Patrick says that he has rounds too and takes off.

Patrick has bellied up to Jake's bar and is joined by Stan. They immediately start to complain about women and motherhood in general. Coleman pours a shot on the house. Patrick and Stan don't get why woman can't just be in love without diapers and cul de sacs. Stan says that women are like a computer virus. They attract, open and destroy. Patrick tells Stan that he never wants to be a dad and then turns to see that Robin and the girls have just arrived. Robin tells them to carry on with their conversation. Patrick says that they were just saying that all men aren't cut out to be fathers, that's all. Lainey asks Coleman for some tequila. All five of them pour a shot and Robin makes a toast "To having the freedom to be how you truly are." They all drink to that. Lee tells Patrick not to assume that all women want kids because she doesn't. She says that when she sees her future there's not a baby in it. Stan says that most women are just like Robin, waiting to convert her man into a dad. (Patrick snorts tequila out of his nose over this one.)

White Lace and Promises.

Carly goes inside and finds Max and Stan. She asks them to look after Sonny for her and they agree. They all look over at Milo who is taking his hilarious turn at dancing with Lulu. Just as he gets into his odd little groove, Spinelli cuts in and Lulu lands in his arms. Sadly for The Jackal, the music ends just as they get started. Thankfully, it's time to cut the cake so Lulu gets a reprieve. Next, it's time to throw the bouquet. Bobbie, Alice, Lulu, Robin and Sam are out there fighting for it, but it lands squarely in Lulu's highly sought-after hand. Dillon, Spinelli and Milo high-five when they see who catches it.
