Spoilers ahead. Coverage follows the scope labeled below.

Plot summary

Melanie goes to her new boyfriend's apartment to break up with him, and finds him dead (the result of a heart condition). She also finds an engagement ring he was planning to give her and tries it on. When the boyfriend's cousin arrives and sees the ring, she assumes Melanie and her cousin had gotten engaged, and asks Melanie to host a wake AND deliver a eulogy. Meanwhile, Joy is having a hard time dealing with learning that her father (whom she barely knew) has died, and Victoria has a new "ab shocker" belt to pitch for the same Japanese company that makes the adult underpants she hawks on TV.
