Virginia shows up to the party with Libby. Lester and Betty arrive together, and Bill planned on spending the evening with his children. After realizing his children are not home, Bill shows up at the party only to find Libby and Keller. Libby and Bill leave just as the night's events begin to change. 

Virginia and the others are shocked to learn they are at a swingers party. It's men choice and they pick their choice of coat and that's the woman they will take home.
