Kelsey, still giving Liza the cold shoulder, says she'd rather have someone with more experience than Liza. While out at lunch with Liza, Diana spots Richard's ex-wife, who she informs that she is dating Richard only to have the woman laugh at her. At the retreat, which is in the woods of Maine, Kelsey harshly tells Liza to look like a 27-year-old by associating with the other publishers and drinking and partying with them all night. After a couple rounds of drinking, Liza takes a stand and leaves against Kelsey's wishes. Fed up, Liza gives her business card to the editor from another publishing company who's been trying to recruit her for their new imprint. The next day, Liza and Kelsey head home only to have Liza receive phone calls from Caitlin that she's in the emergency room due to her appendix bursting. Kelsey realizes why Liza had to lie about her age in the beginning and tells Charles that Liza deserves the promotion.

Montana (whose real name is Amy) plans to sell all the works at her show, claiming what she does is no different than rap artists sampling other people's songs. Josh still feels compelled to tell Maggie, who goes to Montana's show and makes her anger known to all.

Moore at Empirical, but Kelsey's seemingly fun Twitter feud with Zane leads to the latter making a better offer and stealing Moore. Diana starts to realize she is finally losing romantic interest in Charles, making her believe she is falling in love with Richard. After Liza's daughter outs her age in front of Jay, the editor from Bonfire, they later have dinner together and he vows to keep her secret.

Liza meets an author named Pauline at a pitch event and finds her work promising.

Moore crisis, Kelsey heads upstate to de-stress with Lauren and Josh. Kelsey and Josh share a drunken kiss, but Kelsey stops it before it goes any further. After hours at the office, Liza and Charles have a conversation about his reaction to seeing her with Jay, which leads to them making out, but they are soon interrupted by the janitor.

Josh told Clare about Liza having lied about her age to get her job. Liza tells Josh she is uncomfortable lying to Homeland Security, causing Josh to get offended and tell her to just go home if she can't do it.

Later that night, Josh shows up drunk in Liza's room and kisses her, saying, "It's always been you."
