Love Nest. Riley blowing out candles as Auggie happens to walk by. He's all smiles as he says he noticed Jonah's car isn't out front and he doesn't smell food cooking in the kitchen. Riley tells him the dinner is off. She admits to Auggie she hasn't told anyone about their engagement because she doesn't want the phone calls and fanfare. Auggie doesn't believe that, but he believes they'll work through it. Riley wonders why they should have to work at all. This is supposed to be the easy part. He pours her a glass of wine and asks if she's hungry. Riley smiles.
Back at the cliché music video shoot. Jonah yells, "Cut, and that's a wrap!" Taryn pulls Jonah aside and tells him to come to an afterparty so she can get freaky with him. Jonah passes. Taryn is jarringly accepting of rejection and just sorta leaves after making a wisecrack about Jonah being gun-shy. Ella walks up, having seen the whole thing. She is in disbelief that Jonah plans on going home to Riley after the day they've had. Jonah feels like he was too hard on Riley. Ella goes back into the "you're brilliant" speech again and advises him not to let anyone get in the way of his talent, but Jonah feels that if he doesn't have Riley to share it with, it doesn't matter. He can't just turn off his emotions like Ella. Oblivious, much? Ella threatens that if he doesn't put his career first, he'll only have birthday parties and bar mitzvahs to share with Riley.
Back at the Love Nest, Riley is finishing her bottle of wine. Riley starts crying to Auggie. She doesn't know how she feels. They kiss. She catches herself and starts saying she's drunk. Really, really drunk. But totally coherent and her motor skills didn't seem impaired on that kiss. Auggie excuses her. He assures her everything is fine before leaving.
Crappy CGI sky transition
It's late at night and David walks into his apartment to find the RC car he left at his father's house earlier sitting on his coffee table. Michael is lurking behind him. He asks if David wants to play that game. Does this game involve the RC car? He asks David what he took. David is flippant about the whole thing. This is like a battle of wits between two snails viewed at double speed. Finally, David brings up Sydney and Michael slams him up against the wall. Michael tells him he knows he stole the painting then starts lecturing David about him thinking he has everything figured out. He thinks he can just blame his abandonment for his problems. David counters with the fact Michael didn't just abandon him, he also abandoned his mother. Then David attacks Michael's livelihood, saying he just stood by and watched as David's mother died though he's supposed to be some great doctor. The doctor has had enough, and spitefully tells David he is going to be in his life now. He's going to make up for lost time and find out everything about David and his friends. Michael leaves David with that thought.
