Maggie, still grieving her mother's death and reeling from mistakenly texting a stranger instead of her mom, tries to flirt with her coworker Dawson. She plans to ask him to lunch but gets interrupted by another employee, Robin, who asks Dawson out first. Feeling discouraged, Maggie calls her friend Hannah, who scolds her for missing her chance. Later, her brother Devon checks on her, but the conversation is unhelpful, highlighting her loneliness and struggle to regain her sense of self without her mom's support. Maggie feels isolated despite her close-knit family and is trying to move forward while navigating her grief.

To Maggie's shock, she receives a reply from someone named Chase, who reveals that he recently got the number of her late mother and apologizes for the mix-up. Maggie is initially devastated, feeling exposed and vulnerable for sharing her deepest thoughts with a stranger for two weeks. She confronts her father, who admits to canceling her mom's phone number, leaving Maggie feeling betrayed and bereft of the last connection to her mother. Despite Chase's kindness in deleting the texts and revealing his identity, Maggie grapples with the loss of this outlet for her grief and the finality it represents.

Maggie confides in her friend Hannah about her inability to express her feelings to Dawson, despite wanting to. She's frustrated with herself for not being able to make a move when the opportunity arose. Hannah tries to comfort Maggie, but her attempts come off as awkward. They discuss how Maggie's grief over her mother's death has affected her confidence and sense of self. Despite Hannah's suggestion to take a bold approach with Dawson, Maggie is hesitant and afraid of rejection. She ends up texting her late mother, seeking advice and comfort, longing for her mother's supportive presence in her life.

Maggie faces a tough day, dealing with the discomfort of her period and the emotional void left by her mother's absence. Amidst the chaos, her sister Chelsea informs her of the plan to skydive on their mom's birthday in May, which feels like a distant and overwhelming goal. Additionally, Maggie discovers her dad's attempt to move on by joining a dating site, leading to a sibling meeting to discuss their father's loneliness. In the midst of this emotional whirlwind, Maggie also struggles with her feelings for Dawson, the operations manager at Cooper’s, unable to muster the courage to ask him out.

Maggie confesses to her best friend, Hannah, that she choked while attempting to fulfill her late mother's wish to spread her ashes by skydiving. Struggling with grief and guilt, she later discovers her dad exploring an online dating site, revealing his loneliness and the emotional toll of her mother's passing.
