Fiona indulges in some R&R at a Laguna Beach resort, following her closeted husband's disastrous campaign "outing." Her shipboard romance with another guest is going well - perhaps a little too well - but the real world intrudes when her former assistant Jerome calls with news about rival "Net Therapy," former paramour Austen begs for Fiona's forgiveness while sitting alongside his very pregnant, very hormonal fiancée, and she fields a call from Whistlin' composer Franny Marshall, who suffers from crippling writer's block and needs inspiration from the show's source...

Fiona's musical compositions backfire when Franny signs a huge recording contract and quits the show. Thinking the musical is dead, Fiona is shocked to discover her Laguna lover Jackson is the head of the self-help cult Quorum, and is now investing in Whistlin' to further his brand. And Fiona reaches out to her old nemesis, documentarian Robin, to see if her footage exonerates Fiona from campaign shenanigans.
