Okay, were all caught up!

We start things off in the cockpit of a small plane?

Dont worry, I was confused too.
), is swigging from a bottle of booze.
Maggie wakes up panicked in bed.
Gary doesnt really care either way; hes distracted swiping through women on a dating app.
Over at the restaurant, Gina and Delilah are setting up for a small opening/tasting party.
The group talk about Gaggies breakup; they all believe it was Garys fault, citing his man-child tendencies.
Pretty sure theyre all going to know the truth by episodes end!
Well said, Gar!
Still, Gary cant quit Maggie.
She listens but doesnt open up.
He tells her he cant not care and that he tried to be okay with the no treatment plan.
Still, Maggie doesnt open up.
He thinks its because of the breakup and she assures him it has nothing to do with Gary.
Rome gets mad, but she wont give him the real reason why shes canceling.
He asks Katherine out, but she mentions Eddie and tells him shes not ready yet.
Hes perfect, so hes understanding.
Did I mention that hes perfect?
Soon, Eddie shows his ex-wife photos of the apartment hes looking at.
Understandably, shes not really that interested.
For once Eddie says the right thing, telling her she doesnt have to explain.
Hell yeah she doesnt!!
He tells her hed be happy for her even if it was more than professional with Hunter.
I think wed all like to be more than professional with Hunter.
(Recap continues on page 2.)
He then flashes back to meeting Maggies ex(?)
Tom on the street and immediately grabs a cab to the airport.
Once in Chicago, he finds Tom and asks to talk with him.
Ah, its heartbreaking!
Just when you think the gang finding out might help Garys cause, it totally doesnt.
Gina goes to Maggies apartment, mad at her for ditching Romes therapy.
Ugh, youll regret that, Gina.
So Maggie tells her friend that shes dying.
Gina heads back to the restaurant and tells everyone else.Nowthey feel bad for blaming Gary for the breakup.
Delilah is like,hi, nice to meet you, remember when we bonded at my husbands funeral?
Are you ready to get back onboard that rickety airplane?
Well, too bad if youre not, because Maggie is having that dream again.
Rome reaches forward from the seat behind her and puts his hands on the controls too!
Back on land, Eddie calls D, worried about Gary.
She realizes he doesnt know about Maggies cancer yet and heads over to his potential-apartment to fill him in.
Eddie feels like an ass I assume thats how he always feels, no?
He then tells Delilah that he always thought the next apartment he would rent would be for them.
Just a little reminder of that explosive plot point thats sure to rear its head soon.
(Recap continues on page 3.)
Its party time, and everyone is showing up.
Noticing the boxes at her place, Rome wants to know why shes packing up.
Rome heads inside to help her with the boxes.
The party can wait.
At the tasting party, Eddie is sampling the dishes before hes supposed to.
Gina tells him it amazes her that he convinced two women to sleep with him.
Then Rome shows up with Maggie, and Katherine arrives with Hunter.
Ever the fan of the cliche, Eddie realizes you get what you deserve and he deserves this.
Then Gary gets there.
Maggie asks him to talk and he tells her that depends if shes going to get treatment.
He tells her that hes not going to care more about her life that she does and walks away.
As they make amends, Garys phone rings.
She apologizes for letting him get close to her when she knew she was sick.
Its a pretty clumsy way for Gary to find out the gang knows, but whatever.
Maggie tells him they know and support her decision, and Gary goes off!
He feels betrayed by his friends who are willing to stand by and let her kill herself.
Youre right, because I dont know you, responds Gary and walks out.
Of course, Gary and Ashley end up chatting on the sidewalk.
She admits that she used him tonight so that Eddie would see her with someone else.
Because hes so wonderful, he understands that shed want to make her ex jealous.
Katherine tells him if theyre to go out, she wants it to be for the right reasons.
kindly find those reasons soon!
Then she kisses him!!!
I have a new couple to root for if Gaggie is dead.
(Sorry bad word choice!)
What do you think of Hatherine as a couple name?
Katherine heads back inside to thank Regina and the two ladies drink some wine and eat some chocolate ganache.
And so Rome drives Maggie home and she fills him in on the elusive Chad.
Turns out he was her younger brother who died when he was 19.
He drank a lot to self-medicate his depression.
She cant help but think if she hadnt gone, Chad would still be here today.
Simply put: He needed her, and she wasnt there and now hes gone.
Rome asks her if thats why she wont save herself.
She doesnt answer but it seems like she thinks she doesnt deserve to be saved.
Crying, she gets out the car with a See you Friday at one?
She drops a glass that shes holding and it smashes on the floor.
Then she follows suit, passing out on top of the shards.
We head back to the dreamy airplane land, where her brother tells her theyre not going down.
Chad gets up and prepares to exit the aircraft, telling her, This is where I leave you.
He gets out of the plane.
Does that mean Maggie will forgive herself and finally get treatment?
Will she find out about Gary and Ashley?
Will she be able to forgive him if she does?
Do we have enough time before the midseason finale to answer all these questions?
Lets find out next week.
