Jake arranges for everyone to take a trip to Holt's lake house (which isn't actually near a lake) ostensibly
for a relaxing weekend getaway.spent bird watching. However, he has an ulterior motive. He rearranged Holt and Kevin's shared calendar to bring them together to the same location in an attempt to get them back together. But no one supports his plan and urges him to just let it go. Undeterred, Jake continues trying to get Holt and Kevin to realize they still love each other with some dubious help from Terry -- who's hedging his bets so as to look good no matter the outcome.

Meanwhile, Amy is struggling to deal with Mac, who is very fussy and refuses to sleep. Charles takes over to try and show her that her insecurities and stress are having a negative effect on the baby's well-being. Unfortunately, Charles ends up accidentally locking Mac inside a bedroom and he tries to sort out the mess before Amy finds out and gets even more stressed.

Also, Scully is bummed that the house doesn't have wireless access so he can't video chat with Hitchcock for a best potato chip showdown. He eventually finds a playmate in Rosa, who is cheerful thanks to some marijuana gummies.
