Besides his job and love life with Penny, Danny retains his late father's construction company. In order to let it build the golf course Monica wants, they must make crone Dottie Arkin, who lived there all her life, an offer she can't refuse, only to find a corpse buried in her garden, which ex-con mobster Nick Calabrini believes to be his missing uncle Seymour Magoon. A shower design flaw result in utterly embarrassing exposures. Ed's wife forces him first to organize a dog show, then daughter Delinda blackmails him to run Jilian's troublesome mutt in person. participating whale Trey Cooper reduces Sam to his great Dane's dog-minder.

The race is on for Ed's old position when Cooper announces that he won't "give" the job to Danny. The Montecito's new concierge also appears, while Sam finds her way back to another therapy position and Delinda feels the pangs of motherhood in terms of gaining some unwanted weight.
