Plot summary

While lamenting that she has been unable to cry following her breakup with Alec, Melanie drinks a lot of wine and finally breaks down and cries in front of a bar patron ( Tom Arnold ). The two end up in Melanie's bed, with Melanie having no recollection of the previous night. Making the situation more awkward, the man turns out to be attorney Danny Doyle, a "fixer" in town to meet Victoria and help her bribe a judge to get Emmett out of jail. Doyle proposes that Victoria "pay" him by arranging a real date with Melanie, but by this time Melanie has already made a date with her gynecologist, Aaron ( Jack Wagner ). Meanwhile, Joy and Elka compete to make the best short film for a college class.
