Charles and Jonathan Garvey land a freighting contract that could mean real money, but the job would keep them on the road and away from home for long stretches. Both men have to weigh what that money is really worth.
Meanwhile Laura has a crush on Jimmy Hill, who seems to prefer girls like Nellie. Laura starts copying Nellie's frilly, flirty ways to win him over, and discovers that pretending to be someone else doesn't feel nearly as good as being herself.
