Elly reels at learning she isn't pregnant, despairing to Leo that the prospect of having a baby was the only reason Mark took her back. He suggests she should buy some time to rebuild their relationship by pretending to be pregnant for a month, but Elly refuses. He then suggests she should seduce him and hope to get lucky. Not wanting to be manipulative, Elly decides to simply be honest, but her resolve weakens in the face of Mark's happiness over the baby.
Unable to tell him the truth, Elly attempts seduction, but he rejects her. While Mark is happy they're making a go of things, it will take him some time to get physical again. Elly continues to bemoan the situation to Leo at a neighbourhood pool party, where she struggles to pretend everything is fine – especially when Mark reveals the pregnancy to Aaron and David.
When Chloe arrives, it all becomes too much for Elly. She starts stealthily drinking and is tipsy by the time Leo and Piper escort her home. But as she stands on the street outside the Brennan house, she can't bring herself to go inside. She orders a taxi to the Back Lane bar for happy hour… spiralling her way into a bender.
Meawhile, as Gary and Sheila furtively discuss Gary's secret plans, Amy is oblivious but Paul is sure something dodgy is going on. With Amy having quit work at Robinson Pines due to Gary's influence, Paul is in the mood for some revenge – and when he gets wind of Gary arranging a clandestine meeting at The Waterhole, he sneakily follows him. Seeing Gary procure a box, Paul strides over to demand Gary show him the ill-begotten goods – but stops at the last minute when he realises it contains an engagement ring.
Unaware of Paul’s presence, Gary continues on his way, leaving Paul horrified that Gary is planning to propose to Amy. Paul later makes a mysterious phone-call. Is Paul out to thwart Gary's plan?
Elsewhere, Aaron and David are seriously dreaming about purchasing Number 32, but Aaron doesn't feel comfortable asking Mark to buy him out of their place. Nonetheless, Mark overhears and puts a different spin on the situation. Revealing Elly is pregnant, he’s happy to buy Aaron out, so he, Elly and the baby can build a proper family home. Aaron and David are thrilled.
