Platonic Season 1 Episode 9 Recap
In the latest episode titled "Slumber Party," Charlie, portrayed by Luke Macfarlane, discovers that Sylvia, played by Rose Byrne, had informed Will, portrayed by Seth Rogen, about her job loss before telling him herself. To add to Charlie's frustration, Will and his colleagues at the law firm uncover that their pet lizard, 'Jessipa,' actually belonged to Will and was not a stray as Sylvia had claimed. This revelation further irritates Charlie.
As a result, Charlie decides to retaliate in this episode. He sulks as Sylvia attempts to pacify him by admitting her mistake of not confiding in her husband before her best friend. However, the tables quickly turn. Charlie, who typically does not work late into the night, decides to stay behind with his colleagues, intentionally avoiding going home to Sylvia. Joining him for the late-night gathering are Stewart, played by Guy Branum, and Vanessa, portrayed by Janet Varney. The three of them indulge in drinks and become intoxicated.
When Stewart finally departs, the possibility of something happening between Charlie and Vanessa becomes tantalizingly apparent, and indeed, it occurs. Under the influence of alcohol, with the energy of the dance floor, Charlie and Vanessa engage in an act that can only be described as "dry humping." It lasts for only a few seconds before Charlie abruptly withdraws, overwhelmed by guilt. Unable to bear the weight of his actions, Charlie immediately confesses everything to Sylvia.
During the slumber party, Will mentions to Sylvia that he has experience supervising housing projects, a fact he had previously mentioned in earlier episodes. Sylvia becomes convinced that with Will's assistance, they could convert the mostly unused garage into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). The following morning, Sylvia brings up this idea to Charlie, who vehemently disagrees. However, Sylvia plays the "dry humping" card, and Charlie reluctantly relents.
Unbeknownst to Will, he finally learns about Charlie's infidelity from Andy, who was confided in by Katie, Sylvia's friend. Andy reveals Charlie's actions to Will, leaving him equally amused and puzzled. Will decides to discuss it with Sylvia during their next encounter, which happens to be at Sylvia's house. Will opens up about his own cheating episode during the final stages of his failed marriage with Audrey. Sylvia reassures Will that her marriage is stronger.

At the conclusion of the episode, Sylvia shares her disappointment and insecurities with Katie, but her conversation is interrupted when Will unexpectedly arrives. They decide to spend time together, playing video games while sitting on adjacent couches. Later, Charlie returns home, hoping for Sylvia's forgiveness, but she remains hesitant. Charlie attempts to win her attention by offering pizza to everyone and allowing the children to have a slumber party with their friends.
As the night progresses, Will suggests converting the garage into a third room to create more space. During their conversation, Sylvia brings up Will's relationship troubles, prompting her to open up about her own concerns. Will admits to cheating on Audrey but explains that their marriage was doomed even before that incident. Sylvia starts to worry if a similar fate awaits her relationship with Charlie.
The next day, Sylvia shares her conversation with Will with Charlie, who responds with apprehension but avoids delving too deeply into the matter due to his current circumstances. Charlie also advises Will to negotiate separately with Andy, as they have a good rapport, and Will decides to follow his advice. Progress seems to be made when Andy promises to consider his inclusion in the deal.
Additionally, Andy informs Will, who learned it from Katie, that Charlie had engaged in inappropriate behavior with a co-worker. The following day, Will and Sylvia inspect the garage together. Will immediately notices its poor and fragile structure, leading to a shocking moment when a raccoon lunges at him, causing the roof to collapse. Fortunately, Will and Sylvia manage to escape unharmed.
Charlie rushes out to check on them, and Will takes this opportunity to leave them alone to discuss their personal issues. He also promises to take care of the repair expenses. In a touching moment, Sylvia embraces Charlie as he expresses his desire not to be the second-most-important person in her life.
Sylvia confesses that she confided in Will because she doesn't want to feel embarrassed in front of Charlie. This encourages them to make a promise to each other to be more honest about their lives. Will heads to the bar for a meeting with Andy and Reggie, but upon arrival, he discovers another individual at the table. Clark, a lawyer hired by Reggie. Shockingly, they inform Will that he is being expelled from the company. Enraged, Will vows that he won't be so easily disposed of.
