Brian, who finally decided to propose to his boyfriend, got cold feet at the last moment, while Jimmy tried to get back in touch with his patient Grace. Paul and Jimmy had a moment of tension, but in the end, the duo talked things out and reunited. Jimmy finally mustered the courage to tell his daughter about his disease, which he had kept under wraps for a long time.
The episode was directed by James Ponsoldt and written by Bill Posley.
