When Cash is discharged from the hospital, Marin asks Jack if it would be OK to let him convalesce in their house. Patrick's life discovery trip takes him to New York, where he gets a job with Jane's company. Meanwhile, Jane is trying to woo Pilar who, like Marin, writes relationship books. Back in Elmo, Celia adjusts to the newly-separated Mai living in her home, and Buzz takes a job at the inn in Patrick's absence to try and pay off his gambling debt.

Marin celebrates the completion of her book by taking a spa trip to Anchorage. While there, she is surprised to see Julia's husband, Jim, with another woman and wonders if she should tell Jack. Now that his memory has returned, Patrick gets several surprises when he comes home to Elmo: Annie and Ivan have grown closer and Celia has redecorated his bedroom -- for her new dog. Meanwhile in New York, Sam becomes an unlikely hero and Jane wonders if all the attention has gone to his head.
