He is waiting on his porch for her and she goes out to thank him and talk to him. He also gives her something that he wrote. It is called “Love in the Time of Corona.”

Sophie is outside sitting by herself and Paul comes out to talk to her. Paul says that he isn’t going anywhere and that he is going to stay quarantining with them.

Nanda also then confesses that Dedrick has been staying at her house. She tells James to reach out to him. Will James do it?

Elle is talking to Adam on the porch. She has read his work and tell him that he is amazing. She also confesses that she is in love with Oscar. Adam takes it surprisingly well.

James walks into his house and finds Sade crying. She is upset and thinks they ruined their chances of having another child by telling everyone.

James breaks down and admits that he is having a hard time with the way the world is right now and the thoughts of having a second child.

Dedrick is outside Nanda’s house and his phone rings. It is from James. They end up having a great conversation. Nanda is inside and finds out that they are extending the Stay at Home order until May 15th.

This hits Nanda hard because she realizes that there isn’t going to be an anniversary party. She also tells Dedrick about how worried she is about her husband and that he might not be coming home.

Dedrick says that he will take her to the rehab center on their anniversary to see him through the glass.

Oscar now gets on the phone with Sean. Sean asks Oscar where he has been. Oscar then starts to tell Sean that he was with Elle. Sean then asks if Oscar loves her and Oscar says no. But, Elle hears all of it.

In a turn of events, Oscar starts to tell Sean that he is really falling for him. Elle busts in and tells Oscar that it’s ok and that they are better off as friends.

Paul and Sophie have worked together to transform their backyard into Venice since Sarah can’t go this year. They take a gondola ride in their pool and then eat a nice pasta dinner.

Sophie confesses that she is happy Jordan didn’t quarantine with them because she is cherishing their time together. She is alright with her parents splitting as long as they still get together as a family. Then she goes inside to bed.

Paul admits that he wished quarantine happened earlier so they could have spent this time together sooner. Sarah asks him if they can give it another go and Paul agrees. We are loving this!

James and Sade are discussing having a baby, again. Sade brings up their parents and that they also raised children in this world and being nervous shouldn’t stop them. James agrees with her and they are going to try for a second child!

Elle then goes outside to Adam with her guitar and holds up her end of the deal. She read Adam’s work, so now she is going to sing for him.

Oscar joins her outside and Sean tells him to look up. Sean rented a plane to fly a sign over the apartment confessing his love for Oscar.

Nanda shows up at the rehab center and talks to her husband through the window. Dedrick then comes to the window and all is forgiven between them.

We then see a car parade for their anniversary. Everyone is honking and wishing them a happy anniversary. Nanda got the party she wanted.

We are so happy with the way this ended! “You Can’t Quarantine Love.”
