Plot Summary[]
After the dramatic event at Las Vegas, Danny sets out on a mission for revenge against Amy again. He comes up with a plan to befriend George, following him on his bike rides and even taking the same route as him. During their ride, Danny introduces himself to George as "Zane", and he strikes up a conversation. Meanwhile, Isaac is not happy with Danny's erratic behavior that got them into trouble and under house arrest. When Danny comes to make amends with Isaac and he informs him about stealing art from Amy's wealthy husband, Isaac rejects the idea and he tells Danny to focus on his work at the church.
As Danny and George both become closer with each other, George invites Danny to his house. However, June recognizes Danny, but her observation doesn't alarm George. Danny pretends to be a plumber, and he tells George that he suspects a leak in his plumbing. He promises to find a plumber, and texts his friends, Michael and Bobby, to rob the place. On the other hand, Danny has a change of heart, once he bonds with George and he decides not to steal from him. Feeling guilty, Danny leaves and tells Michael and Bobby that the job's off. But despite Danny's cancellation, Michael and Bobby both still show up at George's place and ring the doorbell, pretending to be plumbers. George is suspicious and sends them away.
George later admits to Mia that he loves her. Fumi, George's mother, visits Amy's store in search of her, but she walks in on Amy, who is taking photos of herself in her underwear. Amy is mortified, and Fumi decides to take a rain check on their lunch plans. Fumi, feeling lonely, watches others eat together and she calls her friends, but no one answers. Her accountant later reminds her that she's running out of money and needs to ask Amy for a loan or sell her late husband's art, but George won't allow it.
Amy sends a picture of herself in her underwear on her phone to Paul, and she invites him over. They both end up having sex with each other, but the relationship comes crashing down when Paul asks for a loan. He wants to get his own place, but Amy tells him that he needs to work hard for his money. This leads to an argument and Paul calls her the "B" curse word, so Amy kicks him out.
Naomi remains suspicious about the road rage incident, and she decides to investigate. She finds the original poster of the video, and invites him over to ask him some questions. Later on, Fumi sneaks into Amy and George's house to look at their art collection, and she decides to sell one of their pieces. Unfortunately, Michael and Bobby both break in to rob the place. Luckily, Fumi confronts the burglars with her son's shotgun. However, she takes a terrible fall down the stairs, rendering her unconscious.
