Rachel's boy Erik is paying Rachel a visit, but it's not clear yet whether love or heartbreak is on the itinerary. Meanwhile, Danny starts the search for the guy who sucker-punched him. Erik arrives with Rachel's dog Reese in hand. According to Lacey, who cannot understand the concept of "taking a break," Erik is just being taken for a ride. While Reese enjoys a swimming lesson from Danny and Erik, it looks like Erik's not going to have as much fun: in bed Rachel breaks the news that she doesn't want to have sex. Wes and Erik bond at the foosball table before heading out with the gang. While at the bar, Erik confronts Rachel about their relationship, but Rachel dodges the questions. Danny, while holding Mel's hand, continues to aid the police in their search for the sucker-puncher. When Lacey and Erik have a deep conversation about relationships, Rachel freaks out. Rachel talks to Erik about his talk with Lacey and brings up the fact that she is still not ready for a relationship. Back home, Wes sets up a groupie party for Erik to get his mind off Rachel. Rachel gets jealous and leaves. She worries that this "break" could separate them forever. The detective working on Danny's case passes on the good news that a warrant is out for the arrest of the sucker-puncher. Erik leaves disappointed and hurt, with party girl Rachel still out on the prowl.
