In an effort to have some time by himself, Alex lies to Whitney about going away for a tech seminar. However, Whitney soon uncovers the truth and makes them go to couple's counseling. Meanwhile, to Lily's surprise, R.J's eight-year-old niece takes a liking to Roxanne.

When Whitney's father comes for a visit and gives her $5,000, she believes he has finally changed for the better. Although Alex encourages her to use the money to rent an art gallery to display her photos, Whitney instead gives the money to Lily who is desperately short on cash. Later, the money trail continues when Lily entrust Roxanne to be the keeper of the $5000 but Roxanne proves to be ill prepared for the job.
