Grady makes a pass at Vanessa, Billy moves into the mansion and Mallet has a surprise for Marina.
Mallet tries to steal Marina's donut at work. He suggests that they go over to the house to do some work. She doesn't have time and tells him she's done with the house. She launches into a long rant about how much she hates houses and what a waste of time they are. He thinks this rant sounds rehearsed. She walks off. He eats her donut.
Grady sits with Vanessa at Towers. She knows him by reputation; she says it takes a lot to scare her though. "Older women intrigue me," Grady says. Vanessa points out that her son is older than him. He asks her to take a walk with him.
At the mansion, Bill and Lizzie are going over the details for their presentation and flirting when Alan wheels in. He offers to help her out since Bill seems busy. Bill tells him that this job is their baby. Alan accuses Bill of just being Lizzie's 'goofy sidekick' and then calls him a 'freeloader'. Billy walks in with his suitcase. He didn't want to miss out on all the fun. As he laughs, Alan cringes. "The hillbillies have hijacked the house! Elisabeth, lock up the liquor cabinets!" Alan says. He and Billy attack each other before Lizzie forces them to sit and behave. She takes Bill aside and tells him that his father can't move in; it just won't work. They begin to bicker. He threatens to invite Mindy to come and live with them. Decker calls. Lizzie tells him how hard they have been working. Getting off the phone, she forces Bill away with her to rehearse. Billy and Alan stare at each other. Looking at Alan's wheelchair, Billy wonders how fast it can go. "Why don't we run you over? Then we can find out," Alan sneers.
Lizzie and Bill sit in the garden playing with kites and talking about their presentation. They banter and she tells him that he better stay on his game or she'll wipe the floor with him. Soon, they begin kissing. He stops and says they have to get back to work. She asks him what that meant. He tells her they just got 'caught up'. When he goes inside, she follows him and tells him they need to be honest about their feelings. He admits that he understands her but doesn't know what to do.
At Company, Daisy tells Mallet that he is either cool or crazy. He says he's both; he's buying the house for Marina and he wants her to live there with them. She tells him he should be talking to Marina about this and worries that she won't take the surprise well. Mallet is sure she will be thrilled.
Grady surprises Dinah in her room. She reminds him of the task she set him. He tells her that he's stumbled on a better idea than seducing Lizzie: Seducing Bill's mother, Vanessa! Dinah flips out and begins slapping him with a pillow and calling him an idiot. Grady tells her he's only trying to be helpful. Dinah's outraged. She reminds him that Lizzie is her target.
Dinah arrives at the TV station mumbling to herself. Ashlee tells her that doing the Bill and Lizzie slam is a little harsh and might make them look bad. Dinah says that she doesn't really hate her brother, but she's worked hard for him and he hurt her. This isn't revenge; it's tough love, she insists. After checking over Ashlee's, work, she tells her that she's done a great job. Ashlee remembers that the electric company called and they haven't been paying their bills.
At The Beacon, Daisy is carrying her boxes down the hall when Grady bumps into her. She snipes about him and his lady boss before telling him that she is moving in with Mallet and Marina. He imagines this is so she can be protected from people like him. Alan appears and calls over to Grady. Daisy jumps on the elevator. Alan asks Grady for a quick favor.
Grady arrives at the mansion while Lizzie and Bill rehearse for tomorrow's meeting. He hands Lizzie some flowers. She tells him to go. Grady shows them the article he just read. Bill snaps it up and reads it over. When Lizzie looks it over, she notices that it gives her all of the credit for their upcoming deal. Alan watches from upstairs. Bill walks out.
Vanessa arrives at the mansion and finds Billy in the hall. He points out that he is moving in right across the hall from her. She thinks her hair must be looking good because he's the second man to hit on her today. She warns him not to get any big ideas. "It's too late. I already have," he smiles. He tries to kiss her. She backs him off. Bill spots them. Vanessa ducks into her room. Bill tells his father that he and Vanessa are on different tracks. Billy still intends to make another effort for her.
Marina walks over to the house and says goodbye to it. Before she can walk away, she turns and hurries inside. To her surprise, there is already furniture inside. Mallet arrives. Marina rants about the Boudreaus moving in before the paperwork is finished. She notices that there is a photo of him and asks him why it's there. Looking around, she finds even more familiar things and realizes that it's actually their stuff. He explains what that means. "Welcome home detective," he says, kissing her. They sit on the porch and he tells her he knows how much she loves this house. He's realized that he wants all the things she's been talking about. After telling her that he's asked Daisy to move in with them, he asks her what she thinks. She's speechless and walks back inside. He follows her in. "This is the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me," she says, but she can't do it: It's a huge commitment. He thinks they can handle it. She worries that rushing ahead will only ruin things between them. Mallet doesn't think that they should over-think this. Daisy walks in with her box. When both women decide they are moving in, Mallet welcomes them both. Later, Daisy calls her mother to fill her in on her new job and living arrangements.
