After kissing Kitty on his magical porch swing, Alec is anxious to get more lovin' from the boney lady. He calls and calls, but Kitty is refusing to answer. The Senator tracks down Alec at the park (where else would he be?) and reminds him that he is an all powerful nearly-presidential man and he will do whatever it takes to protect his family. Alec is strangely unmoved. The Senator probably remembered who he was because he is finally back at work. Kitty throws him a surprise party, but The Senator can't stop being mad enough to thank her.

She decides to tell Ryan about the trip. Speaking of trips, Nora asked The Senator to find Tommy. He does and Nora heads to Mexico to find her wayward son.
