The episode opens with Caprice recording a diary entry on October 4, 2024, reflecting on her adjustment to Waterloo Gardens Apartments. She notes that she has managed to avoid confrontations with the apartment complex staff and has adjusted well. However, Ella continues to struggle whenever Ava is away, particularly with Ava attending Purdue Fort Wayne, leading to concerning behaviors like defecating indoors.

Caprice shares various observations, including a mishap with her food bowl and concerns about furniture placement near the furnace as the nights grow colder. She also notes the positive impact of Feliway on her adjustment and makes specific requests for cat litter and wet food.

Ava opens the episode by discussing the various concerns and adjustments following their recent move in the previous episode. She highlights several new items they’ve acquired, such as an office chair, a back massager, a new couch, and a portable air conditioning unit. The need to rearrange furniture to accommodate the air conditioner has impacted Caprice’s cat tree, which might not sit well with the apartment complex management. Ava also mentions plans to install a cat scratch protector for the couch.

Additionally, Ava addresses several issues that needed fixing upon move-in, including a missing smoke detector, a bathroom door that didn’t latch, and a non-functional front porch light. She added weatherstripping to the front door to keep out the elements. Ava emphasizes the necessity of the new air conditioner due to recent extreme heat and the risk of heat exhaustion from her medications.

Ella’s indoor accidents have caused concern for both Ava and Caprice. Ava expresses her frustration with the cleanup process and mentions losing the security deposit at their previous place due to her health issues and mistreatment by the maintenance supervisor. Financial aid refunds and compensation from Golfview Apartments aided in new purchases for their home.

Ava notes the need for further rearrangements and mentions unfinished business at the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles. The episode ends on a somber note with Ava expressing sadness over the passing of Drake Hogestyn, a native of Fort Wayne and an actor known for his role as Jack Black on "Days of Our Lives." Caprice sighs and eats her dry cat food, reflecting the ongoing adjustments and challenges. Through a security camera, Ava instructs viewers to keep an eye on Ella, highlighting the continuous concerns regarding Ella’s well-being and behaviors.
