It's the first episode of a new season, and the office has been closed during the summer. Maddie went to New York, David went to Mexico, Agnes went to Tibet, and the rest of the office staff has had the last several weeks off work. But now the season has started up again, and everybody's back to work. And we learn that while the office was closed, David's father – named David Addison, Sr. – has been trying to contact him.
We learn that David's father is remarrying. Maddie and David are invited to a reception where they meet Stephanie, the fiancée, for the first time – and suddenly David goes into a gut-wrenching panic. He hides in the bathroom, then drinks himself into a stupor in Maddie's BMW before she finally learns what it is that has David so upset.
It turns out that David's father is marrying a younger woman, someone David has slept with. David has no idea what to do – he feels that he can't tell his father, but he can't imagine keeping the story a secret either, not if she's going to become a permanent member of the family.
Maddie pleads with him to keep the past in the past, and to keep what he knows to himself. He agrees to try, but by the time the wedding actually takes place, David realizes that he has to speak now, that he can't forever hold his peace. He takes Stephanie aside, tells her that they have to talk. They do – I don't dare reveal what they talk about, because it's too classic, and I'd hate to spoil it – but let it suffice to say that they get everything straightened out between them, and the wedding goes on as planned.
