Laura oversleeps on the morning of a huge cheerleader competition in Cincinnati, Ohio, and asks Steve to drive her there in his BMW Isetta. She quickly becomes frustrated with the car's slow speed, and in trying to get Steve to drive faster, causes it to break down. At the rundown hotel they stay at while the car is being repaired and a thunderstorm rages outside, Laura's disgusted and dismissive treatment of Steve finally pushes him to get angry at her and say he won't accept her treating him that badly anymore, which in turns leads Laura to apologize and the two of them to get back to being friends. Meanwhile, Carl gets annoyed as Fletcher and Estelle continually express love for each other in public, which is something he never does with Harriette.

Soon Harriette convinces her to focus on her day job and let them come up with the other half of the money.
