Edna revels in Nick's visit. At the Powers house, Matt tells Maggie that Mike received a show of support from Hank, so Mike's internship will be extended to a full year. Maggie hears a thumping noise which begins to drive her crazy. Matt reveals that it's just a shutter, but Maggie winces at the noise and complains that she's getting a headache from the lamp because the light bulb isn't bright enough. Martha offers to take Toni to The Cape to take her mind off her problems. Mike drops by and says that he's decided to take his father's advice. He'll back off trying to help her, but he'll leave the door open just in case she needs him. Nick and Althea have dinner together and discuss old times. Later, he decides to spend the weekend in Greenville at a motel.
