Sophie recruits the gang to help track down her father.


Recap[]

Sophie and Valentina decided to uncover the mystery of Sophie's biological father. Their investigation began by questioning Sophie's mother about the time of her conception. They managed to narrow down their search to three potential men. Unfortunately, one of them was swiftly ruled out because he was Asian.

Undeterred, Sophie, Valentina, Jesse, and Sid embarked on a journey to Staten Island to find the second candidate. Upon reaching their destination, they discovered that he had passed away. However, they stumbled upon an older man who perfectly matched the description Sophie's mother had provided. To their surprise, he was seen leaving flowers at the grave, leading them to conclude that the deceased man was the father of Sophie's father—the man who left the flowers. Driven by curiosity, they decided to follow him. As they pursued the older man, they found him to be a fascinating individual. Unfortunately, Sophie found herself unable to approach him and strike up a conversation. Meanwhile, Charlie and Ellen took it upon themselves to investigate the third potential candidate, who happened to be a former stripper. In an attempt to entice him to reveal his identity, they hired him for a bachelorette party. However, he struggled with the idea of taking his shirt off, creating an amusing situation.

Sid has been texting Taylor, a woman he had met on a plane. This interaction caused Jesse to experience pangs of jealousy. Jesse confronts Sid about his connection with Taylor, but Sid clarifies to Jesse that it's a woman. Sid starts to question his own feelings for Taylor, ultimately leading him to decide that they should stop texting.

Meanwhile, Sophie reunited with her friends at a bar, sharing her disappointment about being unable to approach the mysterious man. However, her friends reassured her, suggesting that perhaps she simply wasn't ready yet. Just when they were offering their support, the man unexpectedly appeared at the bar, looking to speak with Sophie.
