Plot summary
Joy announces to the girls that she wants to marry Simon, but not before she first informs Mitch and Detective Bob. Mitch finds out immediately, as he had bugged the house, while Melanie takes the task of telling Bob, only to end up sleeping with him after. Joy tells Simon "yes" and he is thrilled, but the moment is spoiled when Simon introduces his current 23-year-old wife to Joy. Simon explains he had to marry the woman to get her out of a dangerous situation in her home country, but vows to divorce her as soon as it is safe.
When circumstances call for Simon to leave the country again, Joy realizes they shouldn't be together. Bob tries to swoop in and propose to Joy, but she says she is not looking to marry anyone at the moment. Nonetheless, Bob says he will keep trying, announcing that he's bought back the detective agency from Mitch. Elsewhere, Victoria enlists Susan Lucci's help in getting back an HBO series role that Helen Mirren had stolen, only to be double-crossed by Lucci.
