Janet urges Jack to have "the talk" with Parker but he his son isn't interested in sex. Jack invites Parker to go on a fishing trip but the teen guesses he's doing this to prevent him from finding out about Holden and Carly.

Katie tries to calm him but later, when he finds Liberty at the diner, he blows up again when he also finds the bag full of condoms Janet just slipped her.

While Janet pushes Jack to tell Parker about sex and Katie and Brad argue about how to protect his daughter, Parker and Liberty go upstairs to his bedroom to have sex.

Holden disagrees and insists that they have real feelings. Going out for a swim, Luke finds them together and suggests Holden go back home to his wife and that he never see Carly again. Carly agrees that Holden keep his "distance" from her.
