— Official Paramount+ Synopsis
Plot[]
Harper and Carly are about to go on a girls' trip with Brooke. Harper's cousin Maeve, who has been missing for four years, shows up and wants to spend time with Harper, though she prefers not to travel after being kidnapped at sea for four years. Harper decides to stay behind with Maeve, and they receive a text saying that Brooke can no longer join their trip due to her car being stolen, so Carly invites Freddie to join her on her girls' trip.
Carly and Freddie arrive at Snoqualmie Suites and discover that their "party room" is actually a honeymoon suite named "Party of two. An intimate experience for lovers in love." As soon as they open the room, romantic music plays. They initially try to switch rooms, but change their minds after Carly discovers a chocolate drawer.
Carly and Freddie wear bathrobes and enjoy champagne and chocolate. Freddie gifts Carly a shirt which says "My way or the rosé." Later, when they decide to search the drawers for weird things people left behind, Carly presses a button. Slow romantic music plays over the speakers and the bedroom lights turn purple. Carly discovers that the bed is very comfortable and invites Freddie to try it. Meanwhile, Brooke shows up and walks in on Carly and Freddie lying in bed together, thinking they are sleeping together. Carly and Freddie try to assure Brooke that it is not what she thinks and try to look past it. Brooke explains that her car was not actually stolen; she had simply forgotten where she had parked it.
Carly becomes a third wheel and appears jealous as Brooke and Freddie flirt and spend time together. She watches them as they get couple's massages and at a carnival, Freddie wins a stuffed unicorn for Brooke.
Later, Carly drinks at a bar alone and facetimes Harper. They discuss their disappointment about becoming third wheels.
Back at the hotel suite, Brooke asks if they have been trying to hint at wanting to have a threesome with her. However, her advances make Carly and Freddie uncomfortable, and they explain that they are not trying to have a threesome. Brooke is mortified and leaves. Freddie and Carly laugh at Brooke's misunderstanding and awkwardly laugh at the fact they are alone in a romantic suite.
Subplot[]
Harper reconnects with her cousin Maeve, who hits it off with Spencer much to Harper's dismay. Spencer surprises Maeve with her favorite dinner, Alaskan crab leg buffet. They go as far as acting, recreating the famous pose by Jack and Rose from Titanic, and Spencer offers to do a sketch of Harper. Harper is upset that she is not able to spend time with her cousin as she is spending so much time with Spencer.
At the end of the episode, Maeve reveals that she will be staying in Seattle and living with Spencer. Although it is not confirmed, it is possible that Spencer and Maeve have entered a relationship.

Quotes[]
Brooke: You know, it took me a minute, but I think I finally get what you two (Carly and Freddie) have been trying to tell me. The honeymoon suite, the massage, Harper conveniently not being able to come at the last minute. Not to mention the obvious sexual tension between me and Carly. |
