From hit-maker Chuck Lorre comes his next big comedy‐an irreverent and outrageous take on true family love‐and dysfunction. Newly sober single mom Christy struggles to raise two children in a world full of temptations and pitfalls. Testing her sobriety is her formerly estranged mother, now back in Christy's life and eager to share passive-aggressive insights into her daughter's many mistakes.
Christy is having recurring nightmares about relapsing. Marjorie says she used to have them all the time, and suggests that Christy help out another addict. So Christy approaches a new attendee at the AA meeting (Jaime Pressly) and takes her under her wing. The Taylors have mailed some photos of the baby to Violet, who can't look at them. Later, Bonnie greets the landlord at the door, who tells her Christy is three months behind on rent. Christy admits she gambled away what little money they had, trying to win enough for the rent. Bonnie and Marjorie come up with enough money for one month's rent to keep the landlord at bay, but Christy, hearing Chef Rudy place a bet on a college football game, can't resist trying to multiply one month's rent into three months' rent. Though she wins her bet, she gets mugged after cashing in, losing all the money.
Title Meaning: Christy spreads a rumour about a rival waitress and has to endure Chef Rudy's taunts.
