Joe having to change a business meeting time to accommodate a client causes a problem as he was supposed to pick up Donnie at that time for one of the few weekends he spends with his son. As she will be doing a job ten minutes away at that time, Rhoda volunteers to pick up Donnie for Joe. After making the suggestion, Rhoda doesn't regret it, but admits that she is nervous as she and Marian, Joe's ex, have never met. But Joe seems more worried, which may be how Rhoda is truly feeling. Needing to unburden herself about the issue, Rhoda talks to Brenda about it, as well as, albeit reluctantly, to Ida. Rhoda's arrival at Marian's house is awkward enough, but gets extended because Donnie is kept late at his previous appointment. Rhoda and Marian's extended time together becomes more awkward by circumstance outside of their control.
