As Lena and Martin finally settle into their new, independent lives, they find themselves struggling with the reality of their divorce. Though they both seem to be adjusting well, issues arise when their children start acting out and the two parents realize they have different parenting styles. Lena is more relaxed and affable, while Martin is more strict and by-the-book. This causes tension between the two as they vie for control over their kids' behavior.
Meanwhile, Lena gets closer to her boss, Camille, who gives her some much-needed support and encouragement. However, Lena is reluctant to take their relationship to the next level, partly because of her lingering feelings for Martin, but also because she's not sure she's ready for another serious commitment.
Martin, on the other hand, starts dating Lisa Apple, a woman he met at a coffee shop, and things start to get serious quickly. Lisa seems practically perfect in every way - charming, successful, and beautiful - and Martin finds himself falling for her hard. However, his kids, Mae and Mason, are less enthusiastic about Lisa, which puts Martin in an awkward position.
As the episode progresses, Lena and Martin both have to confront their own fears and insecurities about their new lives. They come to realize that just because their marriage didn't work out doesn't mean they aren't still connected in some way - after all, they share a history, a family, and a deep mutual understanding.
Through honest conversations and genuine moments of vulnerability, Lena and Martin make some progress in their co-parenting journey. They start to see each other as equals, rather than adversaries, and they come to recognize each other's strengths and weaknesses as parents.
By the end of the episode, Lena and Martin have a heart-to-heart conversation that sets the stage for some major shifts in their relationship. They acknowledge that they still have feelings for each other, even if those feelings are complicated and messy. They pledge to keep working on their co-parenting strategy, but they also leave the door open for the possibility of a future reunion.
Overall, Everything's Okay is a poignant and bittersweet look at the aftermath of divorce. It doesn't shy away from the difficult emotions that come with untangling a long-term relationship, but it also shows that there's hope for a positive future - as long as both parties are willing to put in the effort.
