Nico gets into her office to start her day. She plays her messages to find one from Kirby, who has called from Aspen to wish her a Happy New Year. At Victory's, her parents arrive in New York via private jet that Joe arranged for them. Her parents insist on staying at her house, rather than accepting Joe's offer to stay at the Four Seasons.

Griffin greets Nico in her office to hand her a document from the legal department acknowledging a romantic relationship between them. Nico, taken aback by the document, isn't sure how to respond, creating a bit of tension between her and Griffin.

Wendy, struggling with Maddie, looks to Shane for some advice before he leaves on tour. She is also preparing to throw Joe and Victory's engagement party. Back at Victory's, she is showing her parents photos from her store opening, but her parents are critical at every turn.

Sal fills Wendy in on a story that Nico is working on and suggests that Wendy look at buying the film rights. After all, he owes her one. In Nico's office, during a staff meeting, she realizes she may have fallen off the press' list of top invites to parties.

Joe and Victory's parents are trying to find common ground in conversation, but instead, there are several awkward silences. Victory's mom is sharing some of her wedding ideas, when Victory lets her know that Joe might be more into an intimate ceremony than a traditional wedding.

As Joe leaves for a meeting, he sets plans to take them to a fancy dinner and a helicopter ride, but they are resistant. Plus, Victory is concerned with Joe's spending, considering his financial situation.

Griffin pops by Nico's office to see if she's finished the letter for the legal department. He also wants to know why she tipped off Wendy to a film property she knew he wanted to buy for Parador. Nico, caught off guard, is disappointed in Griffin's approach.

Nico meets with Dahlia about her image. She is worried that due to personal reasons, she was out of the spotlight for a few months. Dahlia, a fast worker, gets her booked in the 10am hour of the Today Show for the next morning.

Victory confides in Wendy about the difficulties with her parents in town and Joe's grand style, considering his financial restraints. Later, Joe takes Victory and her parents to a private showing of the latest exhibit at the Guggenheim Museum. After an awkward conversation about Joe and Victory having kids, they all walk in silence.
