The women fly to Los Angeles to watch Victoria announce the Oscar nominations. Elka gets campaign advice from a statistics expert, Victoria has nerves over the unknown, and Joy meets the man she’s going to marry.

Elka needs Ross Barkley’s endorsement for City Council so Melanie gets strong-armed into going on a date with him. Meanwhile, Joy hides her feelings for Mitch while he tries to get over Melanie.

Joy decides to finally tell Mitch how she feels but a handsome dating coach gets in the way. Victoria is surprisingly taken with a very Clevelandy screenwriter.

Victoria gets a visit from the son she always forgets and Joy and Mitch debate their compatibility.

Every year, on their collective birthday, the women set each other up on blind dates.
