Jackie's bizarre situation

According to ABC's press site, the episode is titled "Bad Dads and Grads." In an Instagram preview, we see as Jackie gets spoiled by the couple with an enviable spa day.

A humbled Jackie later feels obligated to pay the couple back with money — but that's not what they want. Instead, they'd prefer if she'd consider joining them as a third in the relationship.
