Bridget boxed things up at the Malibu beach house as Felicia and Thorne arrived with a positively beaming Stephanie, who was moving in to the "cozy and comfortable" digs. Eric came by and Bridget hugged her dad and Stephanie and then left. Alone, Steph and Eric traded one liners about beach living versus the house on the hill. Steph was actually looking forward to a little distance. Naturally, Felicia had to put her anti-Donna two cents in. Thorne admired his mother for handling a difficult situation. "Are you two finished?" Eric grumbled. Thorne warned his dad that Donna comes with a lot of baggage.

A melancholy Katie flashed back on Nick taunting her into kissing him. Nick arrived in the flesh right on cue. Predictably, he'd brought pistachios and not so predictably, a Lakers jersey and a hat. He buoyed her spirits as they worked on a jigsaw puzzle. Nick then got a text from Bridget saying she's now homeless. "You love her, she needs a place to stay, why not with you and your son?" suggested Katie. Nick didn't want to rush things, teasing Katie about her lack of humor lately. Katie let slip that there was one thing in her life that raised her spirits, but before she could reveal it (Nick, Nick, Nick!) Bridget came in. Katie blurted out that Bridget and Nick should shack up. Trapped, Nick ran with it. Bridget sparkled, running to call movers. "This is a good thing," Katie assured before being all emotional over her unfinished puzzle. Of COURSE Nick then found the last, missing piece. (Anyone else smarting from that weighty metaphor?)

At the mansion, Donna was airy and giddy and trying to urge Eric into a swim, but he wanted to make sure Steph was okay at the beach house. "I hope you're that thoughtful when I'm your ex wife!" laughed Donna. There was a knock at the door and Eric left as Mystery Guy arrived. The excruciating catering mistake continued until MG gently corrected her. "Then who are you?" Donna boggled. When he said his name was Marcus, she accused him of being a tabloid reporter. Wrong again! Marcus explained that he's not a stranger and started talking about imagining how Donna might look (possibly not QUITE so blonde?) before tentatively asking, "Are you my mother?"
