A flashback reveals Max and Maggie's high school years working together at a record store discussing their escap plans from this town they live in. Dorothy arrives drunk asking for money that Max gives her out of their "Toronto fund". Back to present day, Max and Maggie come up with some ground rules for their charade while The Divine continuously pops up trying to throw Max off. Just as everything is set in stone, Dorothy introduces them all to Patrick, a Lamaze instructor who invites them to join his class. 

Over coffee, Max and Patrick bond over sobriety and their love for Empire records. When Max feels ill and rushes to the washroom, The Divine explains that his nausea and sudden weight gain is the result of him having Couvade Syndrome. Kyle arrives using "find my friends" concerned that he hasn't heard from Max in a hot second. Max rejects Kyle thinking he'll blow Max's cover and Kyle puts him in his place. Noticing how thrown off he is, Patrick offers to go for a walk where he invited Max to his first AA meeting.
