Plot[]
The episode opens with Noah's perspective on a night out at a Montauk restaurant/hotel party hangout named The End where he meets up with his best friend, Max (Josh Stamberg), who is struggling after the separation with his wife. Noah witnesses the exchange and use of drugs between Max and his cab driver, whom he later recognizes as having an association with the Lockharts. Alison is present at the party and introduces herself to the pair, playfully toying with Max while Noah watches her smiling. After Max leaves the party late in the night the pair spend the rest of the night together in the hotel and in the morning discuss possible future plans. When Alison leaves in the morning on her bicycle Noah is curious as to where she is heading and follows her to the fishing docks where he observes her picking up a cooler from a boat after which she takes it to the taxi station. When Noah arrives home at 5:30 a.m. his wife is unsuspecting but she confronts him about their recent lack of intimacy and they make plans. Noah asks his daughter Whitney where "one might score some coke" to which she is appalled. When the Solloway family has lunch at "The Lobster Roll" and Max shows up Helen becomes suspicious about the previous night's activities. Noah asks Oscar for help with his book and witnesses an unsettling confrontation between one of the Lockhart brothers and Oscar, deepening his suspicions about Alison's involvement with drug dealing, after which he confronts her back at the ranch. In Alison's perspective, the activities of the day are in effort to support the ranch and she reveals again to Noah her lack of concern for her own welfare. Oscar realizes the connection between Alison and Noah and the Lockharts scramble to protect their illicit assets. Alison tells Noah she wants to start over with him but Noah is now reluctant.
