This episode follows Nancy and Gene on their first night in their new home after getting married. Faced with the modest yet tidy house, Nancy is very considerate, but the ensuing "shared bedroom" situation leaves her nervous and uneasy. Gene first teases Nancy playfully, then reveals the true nature of their marriage: a contract marriage entered into for a trust fund. They reach a consensus to maintain a married facade in public while keeping out of each other's private lives, and to divorce once the mission is accomplished. However, Gene then issues a stern warning about marital loyalty, and Nancy solemnly promises to respect the arrangement. In the end, Gene gives the bedroom to Nancy and sleeps on the couch himself, officially beginning their life under the contract.
