Episode summary courtesy of NBC.com

While getting ready in the morning, Wendy checks in with Nico to schedule lunch for later that day. She had made sure to keep Nico occupied at every meal since Charles' passing, but Nico assures her that although she appreciates it, she's ok. At Victory's new store location, she and Joe are meeting with Joe's go-to contractor. Victory tries to voice her opinion, but she isn't heard. Joe continues to insert himself into the day-to-day operations of Victory's business, which is exactly what she's trying to avoid!

While in her office, Nico is rudely interrupted by Charles' pregnant mistress, who has come to demand that she be financially taken care of in the way Charles had been providing before his passing. After a heated exchange, Nico shows Megan the door. In the Parador Offices, Wendy is conducting a production meeting for their new John Lennon movie, starring a good friend of hers who has apparently been a no-show to his wardrobe fittings.

Victory is on the phone with her assistant Roy, who has written down the incorrect address for a meeting. While standing at the wrong location, Victory runs into a contractor working on a building renovation. While she makes a few phone calls to reschedule the meeting, Rodrigo the contractor, who seems to be taken by Victory, purchases a few hotdogs for a quick lunch. While they're chatting, he proposes a few ideas for her store, which she loves. She hires him on the spot.

At home, Nico is making dinner when her doorbell rings; it's Kirby. She invites him in. They make dinner, laugh and simply enjoy a lovely evening together catching up. Wendy is out late to meet with Noah, the star of her John Lennon project, because she's worried he is back on drugs. She tells him to get clean. Noah avoids the conversation, but Wendy tells him that she will push production while he gets into rehab.

Wendy speaks with Shane in the morning about her growing concern over Noah. At the office, she fills Sal in on her meeting with Noah, telling him that he just needs some time to lose a little weight and get in shape. Sal doesn't seem to buy Wendy's story. Over at Victory's, the girls are enjoying a midday break to attend a jewelry party. Nico is quick to pick up a few extravagant pieces for herself.

Back at Victory's store, her new contractor Rodrigo is on the job. He asks her to head to a late night flea market with him to find a few special pieces for the store. Joe, a little jealous, makes a few jabs at Victory as she leaves. Later that night, Nico meets Kirby at a club to listen to a band, but it turns out there's a twist; it's theme night at the club - "Swap-A-Palooza." When the gongs hit, clothes come off and you switch with others. Despite Nico's initial hesitation, she ends up completely immersed in the swap process.

Victory and Rodrigo visit the flea market to find some unique pieces for her store and afterwards, they enjoy a meal together. Back at the club, Nico and Kirby find a private area outside to reconnect. The next day, at the Parador offices, Noah's wife pays Wendy a visit to let her know that he's not on drugs, he's sick; he has a brain tumor. The doctors have given him a little over a year to live, but his wife lets her know that he has to be in this movie and begs Wendy to push it through.
