Meanwhile, Melanie receives an unexpected phone call from her son, Will, who announces that he is engaged.

She becomes frustrated and feels like a failure, but her friends help her see that she needs to be patient and build trust with her clients.

Meanwhile, Elka has a new boyfriend, Max, who is 30 years her junior. Despite her friends' skepticism, Elka is happy with Max, but she soon realizes that their age difference has consequences when they attend a party with his friends.
