With Gary's parents now living in Florida, Rhoda and Brenda get tired of ""mothering"" him, until he forms a bond with Ida. Then even Ida has her limits!
Rhoda gets a bonus from her new job at the Doyle Costume Company--her boss introduces her to a handsome customer who is the owner of three successful restaurants, and it's love at first sight.
Ida Morgenstern wreaks havoc at the Doyle Costume Company where she is working part-time so that she can buy her husband a waterbed for their anniversary.
Ida Morgenstern returns from a year of touring the country to face a few home-front surprises: Rhoda is divorced and Brenda is unwilling to discuss the state of her innocence.
