Martha reaches a new level of acceptance. Geoff spots Nicole talking to a strange guy. He confronts Nicole and she is upset that he automatically thought the worst. Nicole reveals she was hiring a boat from the guy, as a surprise for Geoff. They head off to the island where they first got together. But someone is watching them...
