Cynthia attends a volunteer meeting at the Reliance hotline in downtown Brighton, where she feels out of place, out of step and humiliated in a role-playing exercise. This is not her scene, and these are not her people, and yet, when she honestly answers the question, why does she want to volunteer at Reliance, it becomes evident her reasons are the right ones.

Cynthia and her friends return from Forest Hills after meeting tennis stars, but the night turns complicated when Mrs. Valladares confronts them about their behavior in the Schuylers' absence. Cynthia also must contend with her scraped knee and being forced to wear her mother's "Audrey Hepburn shoes" because of a sprained ankle.

At school Cynthia learns how the Fitzgeralds reacted to Greg and Annabel returning home with a huge dent in the side of their station wagon. Once again Cynthia learns more about Katey Langston than she wants to know, becomes upset with Evan for spreading rumors, and finds herself summoned to the front office but no one knows why.

After a roadside emergency on the Whitestone Bridge, Cynthia rushes into danger to help a lost child, injures her ankle, and prays for friends and families as police and strangers race to help. The group barely recovers from the chaos before heading to the West Side Tennis Club, where class and glamour collide at the finals of the U.S. Open.

At Forest Hills they rub shoulders with tennis legends, endure awkward moments and capture a triumphant moment on film. The episode closes with friendship, reflection, and a warm sign-off inviting listeners to return next week.
