Stan's brother Ted is in town, and Blanche latches herself onto him. After their date, however, he is scared off by Blanche's aggressively sexual nature, and finds solace instead in Dorothy, causing a rift between the two of them. Meanwhile, Rose deals with a severe case of insomnia.

Stan returns yet again, this time with upsetting news for Dorothy: the two of them are being audited by the IRS. Thanks to Stan's careless spending while they were married, the two may end up having to face jail time. Meanwhile, Rose takes a Spanish class in night school, and Blanche soon joins her.
