We drop in at Jess’s condo the next morning and catch the blowback between Jess and Pablo from her party the night before – and the shit hits the fan.
We take a ride in the elevator with Steve and Margo after Jess’s party – and find out whether or not they’re still pretending to be on a date.
We go to Jess's party and watch a charade develop when Steve and Margo pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend – or are they pretending?
We step inside a meeting at C.I.D. headquarters inside the courthouse in Media – we find out that the Sinaloa drug cartel is using Uber drivers to distribute Fentanyl in Delaware County – and then a pair of detectives go to Babes in Toyland to begin investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of the dead stripper.
We pick up the story the next morning at Steve’s apartment – My Friend drops in to bullshit – he hears about Steve’s adventure from the night before with the stripper and with Jess – and My Friend soon comes to the conclusion that Steve’s the reincarnation of Sigmund Freud.
We’ll join Jess and Margo at Happy Hour at The Grog in Bryn Mawr – and a crazy idea – we’ll drop into the Babes in Toyland strip club for their Happy Hour – and then we’ll venture out to Media Station Apartments and find a dead body.

He immediately gets a request to pick up a rider – and it turns out being Jess, who just got off the phone with Margo. She decided to spend the night at her parents' home and called for an Uber. She lays out her troubles – Steve listens – and they wind up having drinks at the Black Horse Tavern.
Introducing Jess in her Main Line condo talking on the phone to Margo – Jess has been drinking wine all day because she just got fired from a lucrative job without warning – and she’s commiserating with Margo because she reached out to her boyfriend all day for moral support – but he ignored her.
