At a truth-or-dare party Nora impulsively kisses her boss, Caelan, and—because of a family curse—turns into a dog at midnight. She flees the street, endures harassment and exhaustion, then makes it home. Her mother tells her she will revert to human at 7 a.m. but will become a dog again each midnight unless the curse is broken. To break it Nora must be kissed by Caelan while she is a puppy, and she has three months to do it. Back human, Nora faces the problem: how will she get the famously aloof Caelan to kiss a puppy?
Nora bursts into Mr. Fraser's office to apologize for a drunken Truth or Dare kiss, saying she only kissed a random man because she lost the game. Fraser reacts coldly and refuses at first, accusing her of using him. Colleagues push for leniency—complaining his temper has blocked a proposal seven times—and Nora repeatedly begs for a chance. After repeated pleas and a tense scene involving security, Fraser reluctantly agrees to give her a chance and accepts a dinner. The office now braces as tonight's dinner becomes the deciding moment for Nora's appeal.
At a casual barbecue and craft beer night, friends coax Mr. Fraser to sit and drink after accepting an invite. They've tried fine dining; tonight's pitch, "you won't let me down," comes with a plan: once he gets drunk one woman will kiss him to lift a curse. They raise a toast, "this one's to you," but the moment cracks when someone yells "Help!" and another answers, "Don't be scared, I've got you." Then the host calls, "Next, Nora Scott," and the crowd says, "It's her!" The planned kiss is interrupted and its outcome remains unresolved.
During a crowded toast, Nora apologizes to Mr. Fraser and downplays yesterday while others warn her about drinking. Nora suddenly panics—she’s running out of time as a countdown hits one minute. A voice declares, "Breaking the curse is counting on this." They find a tiny dog; someone calls it the cutest and insists a kiss is needed. The group agrees, "The plan's perfect." Caelan yells, "I'm coming!" The episode ends with everyone rushing toward the dog to try the kiss that should break the curse, but the result is unresolved.
Sandra arrives calling, "Caelan, I'm coming!" but a dog appears and Mr. Fraser panics, shouting for everyone to stay back. Sandra advances, playfully saying "Gimme a kiss," while he recoils; onlookers note his fear of dogs and doubt she can change him even given years. Alone, Sandra debates confessing a hidden truth but remembers being blackmailed and fears exposure would get him sent to a lab. She vows not to reveal the secret and, muttering "There's got to be a way," is left facing an unresolved, risky choice.
The episode begins with someone complaining that a woman got drunk and ghosted him, then cuts to a confrontation. Nora is accosted and physically grabbed while a man extorts her—he demands $200,000 and control of a cloud drive, threatens to post a humiliating video and to break her bones. She fights free, cries "Let go of me!" and says she recorded the incident and has called the police. The man sneers that she’s looking for trouble while bystanders watch, one noting "Wow, he's so hot," leaving the extortion unresolved as law enforcement is invoked.
After a stalled desensitization session with a puppy, Mr. Fraser leaves and is suddenly confronted by men blaming him for putting someone in jail. They try to beat him, but Nora records the attack and calls the police, forcing the attackers to back off. Mr. Fraser thanks Nora, checks his face, and confesses he’s terrified of literally turning into a dog in front of his enemies. He begs her not to follow, but Nora insists on returning the favor. The episode ends tense and unresolved when the men warn, "Do you know how bad it will be if you keep pestering me?"
Nora inexplicably wakes up transformed into a dog at midnight and panics about being exposed or sent to a lab. A rescuer finds her, scoops her up, and urges secrecy while wondering if she was poisoned. Too slow on four legs, Nora is taken to the rescuer’s home. The rescuer accuses her of secretly living in a mansion but still lets the dog crash in their room because their uncle is afraid of dogs. After a comfortable night, morning brings a shock when someone sees the dog and exclaims, "It's you?!"
Colin confronts Caelan after Nora is found spending the night at Caelan's place. Colin meets Nora, who reveals she can shapeshift and asks him to keep it secret; she also clarifies he's her uncle. They deduce that one more kiss with Caelan could theoretically lift her curse, but it's difficult—Colin vows to help. At the office colleagues misread the situation and the boss warns against workplace romance; Caelan explains Nora stayed because she saved him from gangsters. The episode ends with Colin offering Nora a ride, leaving the kiss plan and the secret unresolved.
Caelan is confronted when a woman suddenly appears in his car and introduces herself as his fiancée—an arrangement made by their families though she never agreed. Colleagues note Caelan supposedly isn’t interested in women. She follows him to the office, bringing a Pomeranian. Caelan heads inside while Nora and staff spot the fiancée settled in Mr. Fraser’s office. Whispers spread because Caelan is known to be afraid of dogs. The situation escalates from awkward exposure to reputational risk, ending with her and the dog in his office as staff wait for his reaction.
