Jack returns from Philadelphia, not fully disclosing to Olivia that he got offered his dream job - being the newspaper's by-lined staff writer following the Phillies' every move - he who will tell her only when he's made up his mind what to do, the factors which include their mutual declaration of love before he left. Stan tells Olivia that he is thinking about breaking up with Melanie and moving back to Cedar Cove to be closer to Justine, the latter that he will not do without her approval. Stan's actions seem to be to recapture the life they all had together before Jordan's death - these actions which Olivia gets caught up in - but she cannot see that that includes reconciling with her as man and wife, something that is a little clearer to Jack from afar. An angry Seth has left town without telling Justine either that he was leaving or where he was going. Despite Seth's cryptic voice message that he is still working on his "plan" for them, Justine does not know what Seth's departure means for their future, while Warren, now out of the hospital, tries to take advantage of the situation. Maryellen, without John's knowledge, continues in her quest to find out about his past, primarily why he "left" his chef job in Tacoma, and if the woman who came to the art gallery is his mother. And unable to hide from Will, Grace decides to take a different tact in dealing with Will and his lies about his married life.
