In a flashback to 1953, Constance discovers a trusted confidant betrayed her, and she sticks her dogs on him.

In the present day, Joyce receives pages from Constance of the bathhouse shoot, and she goes into Bottom Dollar to talk to Richie. She tells him that Minx isn't for gay men, and they can't run the pages, opting to run a retrospective instead. Richie refuses to help.

Shelly and Lenny tell their swinger friends they're separating, and Shelly is heading to Italy for a time with Doreen.

Joyce asks Bambi to take the new pages to the printer, as Constance has stopped the presses on the current issue.

Constance summons Doug to her home for a meeting before the Minx International party. She tells him that she made a mistake in believing Joyce could run the company over Doug and that she wants him to be the new company's president.

Later, Joyce arrives at the party along with the International publishers. While reviewing the new prints with Constance and Tina, Joyce becomes upset when Constance tells her they can't run the latest Bella piece. Constance then sends Tina to the printers to stop those pages from running.

Richie tells his aunt that General Mills wants him to direct commercials, but he's unsure.

Doug tells Tina about Constance's decision to have him head up the new company.

After seeing herself on a banner dressed like a dictator and various other promotional covers she didn't approve of, Joyce finds Shelly, and the two leave the party and head to the printers.

Constance introduces Joyce to the crowd, unaware she's gone, and Doug gives a speech in her place.

Bambi and Richie head to the printers but run out of gas. Lenny and the kids pick them up, and after helping to calm the rambunctious kids down in the car, Bambi offers to help Lenny with the kids while Shelly is away.

Once they all arrive at the printers, Tina is there, having decided to help them. They run the bathhouse pages and the Bella pages, and as they celebrate, Joyce readies herself for war against her own magazine.

At Constance's house, she and Doug seemingly hook up.
