Meanwhile, at Charlie’s therapy group, one of his patients, Lacey, announces that she is getting married. The rest of the group is surprised and happy for her, but Lacey’s fiancé is not so thrilled. He is a drug dealer and is afraid that their marriage will put his business in jeopardy. He tries to convince Lacey not to go through with the wedding, but she stands firm.

Back at Charlie’s office, he is still struggling with how to handle his father’s situation. He seeks advice from his friend and colleague, Kate, but even she does not have a solution. In the end, Charlie decides to confront his father and try to make him see the error of his ways.

At Martin’s hotel room, Charlie makes one last attempt to reason with his father. He explains that what he is doing is illegal and that he could get in serious trouble if he is caught. Martin seems to finally understand and agrees to stop dealing drugs. Charlie is relieved and happy to have his father back in his life.

The episode ends with Lacey’s wedding, where all of the therapy group members are in attendance. Lacey’s fiancé is nowhere to be found, but she does not seem to mind.
