Jessica is devastated to learn that her favorite TV show, Melrose Place, has aired its season finale and will not be back until September. But the neighborhood drama easily replaces it as Jessica and Honey discover a juicy secret about Deirdre, allowing Jessica to get back at Deirdre for voting down the Huangs' pool during an HOA meeting. Meanwhile, Louis and Emery find ways to handle negative emotions.
- The Cameo / Celebrity Paradox: Melrose Place's Courtney Thorne-Smith appears as Anne, a new neighbor.
- Out-Gambitted: Jessica assumes she's become a master manipulator when she outplays Deirdre, but Deirdre later discovers and informs Jessica that she's being played by Honey, who wanted revenge against Deirdre for all of her earlier antagonism.
- Revenge by Proxy: The reason Deirdre has been antagonistic to Jessica and Honey is because she was good friends with Marvin's ex-wife.
