Micah is trying to mend a growing division between himself and his family and avoid repeating Ethan’s mistakes – but he may have to eventually make some tough choices. Meanwhile, Barry and Kim are still navigating the rocky waters of their ongoing divorce with Kim ready for her next chapter, but Barry is still holding all the cards. Moriah is taking a step back from the family drama that she’s often the center of and finds herself making a life changing move.
