Valerie and Holly argue over ownership of a teddy bear from their childhood until they agree to give the toy to a neighborhood child, who winds up showing much less reverence for it. Meanwhile, Jeff and Gary try to fix Valerie's armoire, but their efforts are thwarted by their complete lack of handyman skills.

Holly tries to impress a cute guy who's leading a protest against the alleged abuse of a parrot at a zoo with her passion for animal rights, but her fake zeal for the cause leads to an abduction of the bird. Meanwhile, Valerie attempts to play matchmaker for a woman who always eats alone at Jeff's restaurant.
