Ronnie learns that Bryce is cheating on her again, but can't find it in her heart to leave him. Leo breaks more bad news that Ronnie's body is not what it used to be and is no longer suitable for appearing on the company packaging. Ronnie's halfhearted attempt to get in shape fails, so, as a last resort, young female models are brought in so she can select the body she'd least mind seeing her head pasted on top of. After a tabloid story about Bryce sleeping around hits the papers, reporters stake out Veronica's Closet trying to get a scoop on Ronnie's and Bryce's rocky romance. Unwilling to act on Olive's and Pat's advice to get even with Bryce by having affairs of her own, Ronnie instead sets up a faux romantic dinner for her and her husband to fool the press into believing the two are still happily married. But the discovery that Bryce slept with the model who's soon to be her body double finally puts Ronnie over the edge and gives her the courage to come clean and walk out on him.

Perry writes a press release with a made-up word in it, because he can't think of a synonym for ""increase."" Josh is bothered when Ronnie believes Perry's new word is real, but he completely loses it after the word spreads throughout the media. Her impending divorce aside, Ronnie returns to her roots as the 'Queen of Romance' by helping Leo propose to his girlfriend, Tina. Ronnie needs help of her own from Olive after she begins to miss Bryce. Olive tells Ronnie now that Bryce is gone, she has more time to spend with her women friends, but Ronnie's comment that she doesn't have any women friends upsets Olive as much as Perry's gibberish words have been upsetting Josh. Leo picks a less-than-opportune time to propose - he asks Tina to marry him while she's in the middle of an orgasm. Ronnie realizes her friendship with Olive is lacking due to faults on both of their parts; Ronnie is self-absorbed and Olive doesn't like to share things about herself. When Ronnie tries to make things up to

Bryce sneaks into Ronnie's apartment and tries to win her back, but she throws him out. After Ronnie turns away the press in regards to their trial separation, Bryce goes on national television and milks sympathy like there's no tomorrow. Ronnie has a change of mind after USA Today conducts a poll where 73% of the country was gullible enough to want her to take Bryce back, and she schedules an interview with Entertainment Tonight to tell her side of the story. Perry feels Ronnie should beat Bryce at his own game and cry a few crocodile tears for the press so the public sympathy vote will tilt in her favor. She can't cry during the interview, though, making Ronnie believe she is over Bryce. Olive weasels a private office bathroom out of Ronnie, but it's not very private after the builder knock

Bryce stages an all-out power play after Ronnie surprises him with a copy of his forgotten prenuptial agreement - which he wishes he hadn't gotten her to sign as he hasn't worked in the past decade, and Ronnie's been the breadwinner since then. First, Bryce maxes out all of their credit cards and empties out their joint bank accounts. Then, Ronnie pays Bryce back by calling up the police and reporting his car stolen. Finally, after Bryce gets out of jail for heisting his own car, he retaliates by filling Ronnie in on his plans to write an embarrassing tell-all book about their marriage. Knowing Bryce has got her where he wants her, Ronnie pleads with him not to write the book, but he'll only agree to that if she'll tear up the prenup. After bartering with each other, Bryce allows Ronnie to pick five humiliating things he'll leave out of the book in exchange for her beach house. Leo confides to Olive that he'd like to design lingerie, but his designs are so awful, Olive tells him he nee

Josh postpones the breakup after he's introduced to her rodeo cowboy brother, Tom, whom Josh becomes infatuated with. Josh hatches a plan to get to know Tom better by fixing him up with Ronnie and double-dating with Carolyn, but it backfires when romance blossoms for Ronnie and Tom, and the pair want to spend an evening alone. Rather than be stuck by himself with a girl he wanted to dump, Josh drags Carolyn over to Ronnie's apartment to crash their dinner and see Tom. The 'Queen of Romance' finds herself turning into the 'Queen of Dating Jitters' as Olive helps Ronnie cope with her nervousness. Although Tom is a perfect date and then some, everything he does reminds Ronnie of Bryce, making her wonder if it's too soon for her to see other men. Pat takes a lik

Leo warns Perry about ""dating a family"" in regards to Suzanne, though Perry insists he's ready to be a father. Pat and Ronnie have it out when Ronnie gets jealous after he starts dragging Louisa along with him on Ronnie's rides. Olive convinces Ronnie not to back out of her agreement by convincing her that little girls are going to love her doll, and will learn to be strong and independent from it. But that couldn't be further from the truth when a focus group of children hates playing with the miniature Ronnie.

He responds to her mixed messages by grabbing her ass in the elevator.

Due to a loophole in their prenup, Bryce's lawyers send Bryce to work for Ronnie in an attempt to gain a chunk of Veronica's Closet for him.

Unable to get a date, Ronnie tries to give away a pair of ballet tickets, because she considers it too humiliating to go out alone. Olive's advice that there's no shame in women enjoying their own company inspires Ronnie to go to the ballet by herself and write a column about her night alone for the next catalogue. Ronnie recants her acceptance of solitude after learning that Bryce will be taking his new date, Cindy Crawford, to Ronnie's charity event - which she will, yes, be attending alone. Desperate for a famous escort to rival Bryce's, Ronnie is relieved to hear Perry managed to snag Kevin Costner. What Ronnie doesn't realize until it goes to print is that her unfortunately worded article, ""Romancing Yourself,"" makes it sound like she's the self-appointed master of masturbation.

Then she tries to rescue her date after Costner's publicist cancels on the little self-pleasurer. A

Ronnie calls a plumber, only to find out it's Nick, a lecherous guy she went to high school with and had a secret crush on. Nick uses Ronnie's recent separation to make his move on her. Just when she's about to score, Ronnie's lawyer visits with the news that the judge has thrown out the prenup. As soon as he hears that Ronnie is dating again, he warns her that his whole argument hinges on how Bryce is a womanizer, while Ronnie hasn't had sex with another man in years. Since Ronnie is a horrible liar, it doesn't bode well for her case to stand trial if she hasn't been faithful. But poor, deprived Ronnie will have to choose between finally getting a piece of Nick, or losing her case - and upwards of $600,000 - to Bryce. Perry is grossed out by his girlfriend's insistence on wearing old, torn panties, and gives her some new underwear. Upon seeing that she's still wearing the same old tattered knickers, Perry confronts her. She confesses that they're her lucky panties, and bad things happ

Pepper, who recently followed in Ronnie's footsteps and dumped Bryce, shows up at the office to look for another job. Ronnie throws Pepper's résumé in the trash, saying she's too much of an idiot to work there. When Perry tells her it's unfair to snub Pepper just because she's good-looking, Ronnie allows him to hire Pepper as his assistant. Perry has to eat his own words after Pepper turns out to be even more incompetent than Ronnie thought she was. At Leo's urging, Perry tries to fire Pepper, but instead ends up sleeping with her, and then realizes he can't fire her for fear he'll be sued for sexual harassment.

Seeing Aaron has far more in common with Josh, Perry asks Josh to tutor him in Aaron's interests. While in a bind, Olive is aided by an officer named Brian, who invites her on a date afterwards. Perry is excited to hear his girlfriend wants him to talk with Aaron about his newfound interest in girls - until he finds out that the girls in reference are old Hollywood starlets. Olive, meanwhile, is excited about the prospects of dating a cop - until she finds out that Brian isn't a cop, but a stripper Ronnie hired for Tina's bridal shower.

Leo is as excited as a schoolboy when Tina shares the story of how she met Keyshawn - so excited, in fact, that he doesn't find it the least bit suspicious that Keyshawn is regularly inviting Tina out for coffee. David, the stranger with the suitcase, stops by Veronica's Closet to pick up his bag, and gives Ronnie exactly what she wanted - a date. After going out, Ronnie confesses to David that she read his journal. Since she's been so honest with him, David confesses something to Ronnie in return - his entire life is a sham, he's nothing more than a boring carpet salesman, everything is in the suitcase was faked, and his schtick is to fill several

Olive discusses with Ronnie how to beat him by expanding as well, but they aren't in the financial position to do so unless Ronnie sells a chunk of Veronica's Closet to a hands-off silent partner.
