Plot summary
Melanie and the girls start taking advantage of the sympathy surrounding her brain tumor, but then have to decide whether to continue milking the condition after Melanie gets news from her doctor that she is cancer-free. For example, Melanie gets backstage passes to see her favorite singer, Chase Jackson ( Chris Isaak ), who is sympathetic to her condition, but is conflicted when the singer shows up at the house and writes a song for her. Joy dates a radio morning show personality, but soon regrets it after he insults her on the air for laughs. Also, Victoria falls for an online boyfriend, but it turns out to be Elka impersonating a rugged rancher from Wyoming.
