Blanche is devastated when her doctor tells her she may be pregnant. On a follow-up visit, she learns this was a false reading, but what it actually turns out to be is, to her, even worse -- she's going through menopause. Meanwhile, Dorothy and Rose begin breeding minks for profit.

A depressed Stanley shows up again, and Dorothy hands him off to Blanche for the evening. She soon fumes, however, when the two hit it off and start spending more time together. Meanwhile, Rose and Sophia sell sandwiches at the Boardwalk.
