The show opens with MJ at home and the burglar alarm goes off. She calls the police, who suggest that she call the alarm company. She calls Sheldon, afraid, and he says she can come over. He pours them a drink. She discovers that he has a collection of slave love letters and that he may allow the Smithsonian to exhibit them. He tucks her into bed, and stays up to read the love letters that he recently won at an auction. When she wakes up, she discovers he is not sleeping next to her. She gets up looking for him. She brushes her teeth with a new tooth brush Sheldon has left next to the sink with a note. She leaves her new tooth brush in the container at the sink. They don't have sex, and he teases her about sleeping in. He says he usually naps. He makes her breakfast and she discovers he considers them in a relationship. He suggests going back to bed, but she has to go to work. After work, back at Sheldon's, she notices her new toothbrush isn't where she left it. When she asks Sheldon, he says she should use one from his large stash of them. Val calls and tells MJ that David had to put his dog, Monk, to sleep. MJ is worried about David. Sheldon says she should call, but MJ thinks that strange. She doesn't think it's the right thing to do. Cynthia stops by MJ's desk to ask for help getting her a live sign off. Fame costs, she warns. She really wants the live sign off, and MJ begins negotiating for her new contract also including a live sign off for herself and Cynthia while at party at her parents' home for Paul's graduate architecture degree. Paul thanks his mom and dad for their support, proud for no student loan debt. He sincerely gives them thanks. Patrick's daughter, Nai, announces that she is moving to North Carolina with her new fiancé, Kenny, and their daughters. She says she doesn't want a ring she wants a house. Patrick and Niecy are obviously upset by the news. MJ continues her negotiations with her agent over the phone. She thanks Lisa for picking up the cake. She goes to Sheldon's place; they discuss how she got in. Kara calls and she takes the call in the yard, Sheldon picks up after her obviously disappointed. That night, she wets the bed at Sheldon's house. She lies about it being the first time and attributes it to David. Sheldon convinces her to call him. Meanwhile, a melancholy Niecy is breastfeeding Belle, when Helen comes in the room and provides some much needed encouragement. MJ and Sheldon celebrate the contract - and Cynthia's live sign off that was part of MJ's negotiations. Back at Sheldon's, they argue, and it turns into a discussion about how he doesn't believe in cohabitation, marriage, nor having children. Eventually she admits to wanting a baby. She says what he wants is too different and leaves. She goes home, calls David, and several times re-records her message, which expresses her sympathy for his loss. The camera shows the fish she threw from episode 1 safely in its fishbowl. Cynthia delivers a classy live sign off as MJ and Kara toast. Lisa, who has dog sat for David, goes to his place to return some of Monk's things. Lisa discloses that David is a trigger for her depression - because she is in love with him. Sheldon calls MJ at work to congratulate her and apologize, but it's obvious the relationship is over. As Lisa and David talk, MJ calls David from her car. He doesn't realize he has picked it up, and MJ overhears their conversation. Lisa is telling David about her feelings, recounting some very personal information. He denies their relationship as ever being romantic, and she calls him out on keeping all of this secret from MJ. They hear a car honk, and realize MJ was listening the whole time. She speeds up her car and gets into a serious car wreck. The camera closes in on the car and no movement. Everything is still except for the blinking of her left turn signal in the night.
