Joe hates Tennis Time, although he enjoys spending it with Love. He works on the scripts during the mornings, and then mails books in the afternoon for his job. Tennis is at four each day and Joe knows he is horrible at it. The Quinn parents are gone, and Joe is playing with Love, Milo, and Forty. Afterwards, Love says she loves him, but is frustrated that Joe refuses to get better at tennis. It’s only been two weeks and he can’t say he loves her yet. When he finally says it they immediately have sex on the beach.

Love tells him he should write, which is great timing, since Joe actually loves the screenwriting he is doing with Forty. He and Love go horseback riding and talk about how they lost their virginity. Milo was her first lover. Joe jokes that she was his first, then deflects the rest of her questions.

Milo calls Love to tell her Forty has destroyed a hotel room at the Commerce Casino. Joe goes with her. At the hotel, she comforts Forty all night and Joe worries that she is a better person than he is. The next day he picks a fight with her about Milo.
