In a race to win the courts advantage, Beale marries Maisie's nanny Margo (Joanna Vanderham), prompting Suzanna in turn to marry friend and local bartender, Lincoln (Alexander Skarsgård). As Maisie is shuttled back and forth between her parents, she comes to rely more and more on her parents new spouses, who begin to see how selfish and damaged Maisie's parents really are.
