Cody meets Sasha outside of the Quartermaine boathouse because she texted hi to. She asks if he’s ready for something fun and exciting. Suddenly Mac, Felicia, Georgie, and James surprise him. Sasha has planned a big family brunch for them. Mac and Felicia explain Maxie is at the house for a Deception meeting, and Baily Lou has the sniffles and is home with Spinelli.
Sasha uncovers the table and all the dishes she’s made, including breads, pancakes and quiches, and tells them to enjoy. She was going to leave them to spend time together as a family, but Mac and Felicia insist Sasha stay and joke that they don’t want Cody to be lonely.
They sit down and enjoy Sasha’s cooking. James suddenly asks if Sasha sleeps over at Cody’s every night, as Violet said they were napping the other day. Cody chokes on his food, and James wonders if he can sleep over at Cody’s like Sasha does.
In the living room, Tracy has gathered the Deception crew for a meeting. Tracy feels Sonny’s involvement with the FBI agent’s murder could bring them all down as he is a significant investor. Lois unveils her new speaking voice and suggests they think rationally about this, as Sonny has not yet been charged, and nothing is linking him to the crime. Everyone who hasn’t heard the new Lois is floored.
Maxie asks what happened to Lois, and Lucy assumes she’s having a stroke. Lois explains that Tracy provided with her a dialect coach to help improve her voice and hopefully increase buyers. Maxie and Lucy think they should have been consulted, and nothing was wrong with her voice or sales. Tracy says Lois accepted her offer and it was her choice.
Maxie directs them back to why Tracy called the meeting. Tracy continues to argue they don’t need the bad publicity Sonny will bring them nor the unwanted federal attraction to his investment. Maxie calls her accusations baseless, saying that Sonny is a silent partner, Natalia has done wonders with their books, and they owe having her to Sonny. Maxie decides to join her family for brunch, and Natalia decides to leave as well. Before she leaves, Tracy reminds her to tell Sonny to review the morality clause in his contract.
Lucy tells Tracy that dialect coach clearly knew what she was doing, and maybe she should hire her to get rid of some of her rough edges. Tracy orders her out, and Lucy gladly leaves.
Tracy departs to get some quiche, and Lois can see her daughter is troubled. Brook Lynn admits she can’t stop thinking about Violet asking her and Chase when they’d have a baby.
Lois assumes she is hearing her biological clock ticking. Brook Lynn is, and she and Chase aren’t getting any younger. However, she worries about throwing a baby into their busy work schedule, and they are already caring for Violet. However, she still asks her mother what she thinks about becoming a Nona sooner rather than later.
Maxie joins her family outside the boathouse, and James asks his mother if he can sleep over at Cody’s like Sasha does. Maxie wasn’t expecting that. Cody tells James that he and Sasha don’t have sleepovers. James doesn’t understand why, isn’t she his friend? Cody says, “Actually, she’s my girlfriend, or I’d like her to be.”
James thinks Sasha should say yes, and Maxie tells him that’s not his call. Cody and Sasha step into the boathouse to speak, and he is sorry for putting her on the spot. She says she would like to be his girlfriend, and they kiss. Suddenly they hear Tracy loudly complaining, “So this is where my breakfast is?”
They go outside to find Tracy upset that Sasha planned a big brunch for the Scorpio clan and left her with a box of instant oatmeal. Tracy yells that Sasha is her chef! Sasha explains she got Olivia’s permission, that she paid for the food herself, that this is her day off, and that these are her guests.
Tracy lashes out that she and Cody have overstepped big-time. Mac tells Tracy, “That’s enough!” He says she could learn a thing or two about kindness from Sasha and that nobody likes a bully. James offers Tracy his quiche and says he understands people get hangry when they don’t get enough to eat. Tracy huffs off, and Maxie can’t believe her son called Tracy hangry.
Mac takes Cody aside, and they go into the boathouse. Cody thanks him for stepping in. Mac says he was glad to help, and he’s also happy that Sasha is his girlfriend. Cody thanks Mac for accepting him into his family. Mac thanks his son for being patient with him, and they embrace.
