Nick wakes up happy and optimistic, but soon loses his job and is turned down by Hannah. Hannah has Ray over for dinner, and he brings a ring in a box. Aubrey returns, and it turns out she has written a book that seems to include Nick as a character. Homecoming approaches, and with it the anniversary of Eddie's legendary high school touchdown, but Eddie wants to exchange the usual adoring girls with a relationship with Janet.
