Hannah returns to Michigan for her parents' 30th anniversary. Over the course of the weekend she has a fling with a friend from high school, and begins to doubt the wisdom of her decision to move to New York and pursue a writing career. Hannah's parents are willing to resume giving her financial assistance, but Hannah says that won't be necessary. In a late-night phone call Adam makes it clear that he still cares for Hannah.

The fate of Rumplestiltskin's son Baelfire is revealed.

When Athos is kidnapped and taken back to his estate of Pinon, the Musketeers go in search of him. They find themselves in the middle of a battle against Baron Renard, who is shocked by Athos' decision to reject his nobility and is determined to seize the land for himself. As the Musketeers train the people of Pinon in combat and defend them against multiple attacks, Athos is forced to confront his past when he encounters an old friend whose life was ruined by his actions years ago.

While Dwight settles for a job at Staples, Andy tests the last nerve of his coworkers, particularly Michael and new deskmate Jim, to whom he shows off his cell phone ringtone that he sang himself. Michael welcomes Oscar back to the office by asking the Party Planning Committee to throw a Mexican-themed fiesta. Jim tries to enlist Karen's help in pulling a prank on Andy, but she is busy with Dwight's former clients. Pam, however, is a ready accomplice. With her help, Jim hides Andy's cell phone in the ceiling above Andy's desk. Michael's rejection of Andy's friendship, combined with Pam and Jim's prank of continually calling his "lost" phone, pushes Andy over the edge, and he punches a hole in the wall in frustration. This-combined with learning from a depressed Angela that Dwight went to Corporate to deliver an important document-causes Michael to realize that he made a mistake in forcing Dwight to resign, and he goes to Staples to get him back. At the party, Karen confronts Jim, asking him if he still has feelings for Pam. After several seconds of silence, Jim quietly answers, "Yes." Karen gets up and walks out, visibly upset.

Meanwhile, still reeling from his father's death, Tyler is surprised when his charming and mysterious uncle, Mason Lockwood, arrives to console the family.
