Trace is not amused to find Mick snapped up the building, but interested when told the new owner seriously considers his plan for a music center and rewards Abby's guitar gift with a confidence about her career break. While Connor playfully takes the mickey out of Abby, ex Wes expects her to help pay for his defense in the fraud case that affects her too and for the custody granted to him. Kevin is almost recovered and considers staying home longer than his bride or family counted with. Newly arrived waiter David Peck greatly appeals to the family author. Mick gives his wife Megan the cold welcome the family deserter deserves, yet she claims differently, while his mother Nell plans a last trip to her native Ireland and calls on the family to practice getting along without her as glue.
