Steve begins by asking the man about his behavior and why he has been spending so much time away from home. The man claims that he has been working long hours and that his job requires him to travel between different construction sites.
The woman is not convinced, and she produces evidence from the private investigator that suggests that her boyfriend has been meeting up with other women while he is supposed to be at work. The man becomes increasingly agitated and begins to lash out at his girlfriend, accusing her of not trusting him.
As the episode progresses, Steve delves deeper into the issues that are causing the relationship to break down. He talks to both the woman and the man about their pasts and their expectations for the future. He also brings in experts to offer advice and guidance on how the couple can repair their relationship and move forward.
