Ed Deline is in no position to follow Dr. Hall's advice to take it easy on account of his blood pressure: he's the victim of identity theft, and his banker allowed the culprit to clean him out completely. Danny comes along trying to moderate the punches, but Lou Mosley is just a decoy, the actual brain makes them think again. Sam is hostile to Monica's new non-gambling income watchdog, and even worse to her half-brother Bobby, but her assumption he's still an immature parasite is challenged while colleagues milk him for embarrassing anecdotes. Mike borrows Ed's beloved Aston Martin for an all too adventurous date, which only Ed's name saves from turning into a disaster.

Danny McCoy finally has a buyer for his home, found by girl-friend Penny Posin, just like his late dad's last flame, Liz, who claims she was to be dad's bride. She hesitantly accepts the loan Danny offers to get her through medical bills until her insurance pays, but isn't it all too good to be true? Monica's 'other income' manager Olivia Duchey's cheap orders keep making everybody's job impossible; so Ed takes on the bossy owner, who lets Sam off the hook if she tells her brother Bobby he's dumped.
