Nancy struggles with her diminished sex drive following her hysterectomy. Scenes of her instructing a class at the art center are juxtaposed with her visit to Dr. Eilertson, where she raises her concerns about her libido, and he reassures her it shouldn't be an issue. At a gallery, she spots a younger male student who has caught her eye. Meanwhile, at DAA, Miles reprimands Angel and Hollis, leaving them visibly shaken. Seeking refuge, Angel visits Elliot’s office. When Elliot returns home, he finds Nancy feeling worn out and irritable, which doesn’t go unnoticed by Ethan. Nancy daydreams about the student but later tells Elliot she's uninterested in intimacy. At DAA, she and Angel bond over an important project. Their dynamic shifts when Elliot drops by her class, leading to an argument over his attention to a nude model. Nancy later confides in Dr. Silverman.
