Following Luke's kiss with Justine, they have reconciled, as Luke feels he needs a friend more than a potential lover if he has to make the choice between the two. Her time with Luke leads to an epiphany for Justine. Luke, on the other hand, still has problems opening up to anyone else but Justine about his life, most specifically Jack, to who he has agreed to be interviewed. But as Luke doesn't open up to Jack, Olivia calls Jack out on not opening up to her, most specifically about Jeri being the ex-wife Olivia had to learn about directly from Jeri herself. Jack has to decide if his love for Olivia is strong enough to divulge those aspects of his past he would rather stay hidden. Despite their recent past, Grace has been in contact again with Olivia's married brother Will, the two who have once again become friends. When Olivia finds out, she believes that what Grace and Will are doing is wrong, especially as she feels Will has ulterior motives, and Grace has not told Cliff about Will being back in her life. In Ian's reluctance for them to have a baby now, Cecilia brings up the notion of adoption. In her search for who anonymously sent her flowers, Peggy receives a note on her car windshield which spooks her. And Eric learns of what looks by the books to be stealing of materials from Warren to be an under-the-table deal orchestrated by Warren. Eric has to decide whether to accept the bribe to keep quiet, or look for other employment in light of it.
