Emet's day starts with her trying to prepare breakfast for her family, but things quickly go wrong as she burns the pancakes and ruins the eggs. It turns out that Emet is not the only one struggling to adapt to David's return to work. Her son, Louie, is having a hard time adjusting to the fact that his dad is not going to be around as much. Meanwhile, Emet's daughter, Lily, is not happy that her dad is taking over some of the responsibilities that she used to do. Emet is feeling pulled in every direction, and she is worried that she will not be able to keep her family and her business together.

At work, Emet's team has been tasked with creating an ad campaign for a new brand of tampons.

Emet is determined to come up with an empowering and inclusive campaign that will resonate with women.

Throughout the episode, Emet struggles to manage her workload and her family responsibilities. She is torn between wanting to be there for her kids and wanting to succeed in her career. Emet tries to juggle both, but it all becomes too much when she realizes that she forgot to pick up Louie from school. Emet is beside herself with guilt, and she is worried that she has let her son down.

In the end, Emet realizes that she is not the only one who needs to adjust to David's return to work. She also realizes that she needs to cut herself some slack and accept that she cannot do everything perfectly all the time. Emet comes up with a solution that will make everyone happy: David will take care of the kids in the morning, and Emet will take over in the afternoon. This way, Emet can focus on her work, and David can spend more time with the family.

The episode ends with Emet presenting her ad campaign to the client. The campaign is a huge success, and Emet is proud of the work that she and her team have done. She feels like she is finally getting her life back on track, and she is ready to take on whatever challenges come her way.
