The episode begins with a naked Lucia (Simona Tabasco) having sex with Albie (Adam DiMarco) when she asks if he’s going to cum for her, which he does.
Meanwhile, Portia (Haley Lu Richardson) wakes up in bed with a naked Jack (Leo Woodall) when Tanya calls her and says they’re going to Palermo and asks if she has any ‘cute things.’
Will (Ethan Spiller) wakes up and goes to the bathroom, where he finds the condom wrapper that his wife Harper (Aubrey Plaza) found.
He asks what the condom wrapper is and she says, ‘You tell me,’ adding she found it yesterday on their couch.
‘OK look, it’s not what you think. I haven’t done anything. It wasn’t me… it was him, I swear to God,’ Will says, which confuses Harper.
‘He had sex on the couch? In here? With who?’ she asks and Will says, ‘With these Italian girls we met at the bar. They were hookers.’
He says he can’t remember because he was ‘wasted’ and he can’t remember and he was ‘really out of it.’
He adds that one of them tried to kiss him and he ‘freaked out’ and nothing happened.
‘I was gone for one f***ing night and you do molly with hookers?’ Harper says.
Will insists she should be happy about this because all of this stuff happened but he didn’t do anything.
Back in Albie’s room, Lucia is getting ready to leave and awkwardly asks if he has her money, saying it’s 2,000 for overnights.
‘I’m sorry, I thought you knew,’ she tells an awkward Albie, who says he didn’t know.
She says he’s nice and he didn’t know and he doesn’t have to pay but she adds there is a crazy man who asks her for money.
She says if he doesn’t want to see her again she’d understand but he insists he likes her and wants to see her again.
She gives him a kiss before leaving Albie’s hotel room as he’s clearly conflicted.
Tanya and Portia are having breakfast, as Tanya asks Portia if she thinks she’s oblivious.
‘Sometimes I think I should have started that spa for poor women with that girl from Maui. You know, ’cause she was like a real healer. The real deal. But you know, sometimes I think those healers are a little witchy. Hm. Maybe she put a curse on me,’ Tanya says.
Albie is at breakfast with Bert and Dom when Albie asks for some money. Dom says he can give him 200 Euros but he says he needs more.

Mia and Lucia walk by Cameron, Daphne, Harper and Will, saying he rented a car to see some wineries.
‘Yeah lets get drunk. Maybe we can find some molly and really rage,’ Harper says before leaving the table, as Will and Cameron exchange an odd look.
Lucia and Mia talk about Albie when Valentina walks by and Mia chases after her saying she can sing while Guisseppe is out, but she doesn’t want her to sing.
Dom goes to find Lucia, asking if they’ve been charging stuff to his room and Lucia says she’s been charging some food and stuff.
Dom says that’s fine but in exchange she should stop seeing his son, asking her not to say anything to him about them.
He asks if they went to his father’s room and she said she didn’t… but then said she was only there once.
Dom says it was ‘not cool’ that they went into his room and tells her not to do that again as they part ways amicably.
Albie runs into Portia before she leaves for Palermo as they awkwardly say their goodbyes before she leaves with Tanya to Palermo.
Valentina walks up to Isabella, who is chatting with her male co-worker when she starts flirting with Isabella and talking about the broach she bought for her.
