Plot summary
Viveca St. John ( Veronica Hart ), a famous porn star, is accidentally electrocuted in her bathtub when her cat knocks her haircurlers into it. This brings much needed business to Fisher & Sons, but her unconventional circle of friends makes for an interesting funeral and shocks Ruth. Elsewhere, David is invited to be a deacon at his mother's church and this causes problems with Keith, who wants David to keep coming to church with him. Nate is introduced to Brenda's psychiatrist parents Margaret and Bernard ( Joanna Cassidy and Robert Foxworth ), who reveal a few of Brenda's darker secrets.
Acting on the advice of Claire's guidance counselor, Ruth tries to form a closer relationship with her daughter, which does not go as planned. David comes out to Nate, but when he refuses to let Keith come to church with him, Keith accuses him of being a coward and breaks up with him and David later denies his sexuality to his brother. Nate meets Brenda's brother Billy ( Jeremy Sisto ), who is unstable and suffers from bipolar disorder.
