Episode Description[]

Roscoe and Christy listen to an affirmations tape but Christy's car breaks down and she becomes angry. The affirmations tape becomes annoying as the next line is "I respond peacefully in all situations.".

At home, Christy asks for money from Baxter but he doesn't have the money she needs. Baxter accidentally reveals that he buried $3,000 in Christy's backyard but used it, Christy questions if he makes burying money in her backyard a habit. He refuses to answer and at night she begins searching for possible buried money.

While Christy and Bonnie drive at night, Christy asks for money. Bonnie declines as she doesn't have money left over to give to her. Bonnie puts the offer out that she moves in with Christy so they can share expenses. Christy isn't sure what to do, stating "I say no and I might be broke and homeless living on the street, scavenging on the street looking for food like dog, I say yes and I'm living with you.", Bonnie questions her conclusion and Christy admits she's still thinking.

At an A.A. meeting, Christy meets a woman with a Prada handbag and Louboutin shoes and tries to make friends with her. Bonnie comes outside and questions what's going on. Christy invites the woman out to coffee and she reveals her name is Regina. Regins questions why she wants to buy her coffee, Christy admits she's trying to be friendly and Regina accepts.

In a diner, Regina, Bonnie and Christy talk. Bonnie and Christy shares stories about their past and Christy questions Regina's past, Bonnie tries to joke and Regina informs Bonnie that she doesn't like her. Regina reveals that she drinks due to her job, she tells Bonnie and Christy that she doesn't need saving and doesn't have a problem as she begins to become emotional. Bonnie facetiously says that Regina admitted she doesn't need saving and opts to leave her.

Christy brings Regina home with Bonnie. Regina attempts to go to the bathroom but Bonnie notices something off. She asks to search Regina, who declines at first but gives in. She searches Regina's bag and finds pills, weed and mini alcohol shots. Bonnie asks Regina what she has in her cleavage, which Regina once again declines but gives in. Bonnie finds a vial of cocaine and Regina asks if she can be left alone now, Bonnie tells her she is free to urinate and Regina comments that urinating is now the only thing she can do in there. Bonnie questions what she and Christy should do with all of it, Bonnie suggests they save it for when Bonnie relapses, Christy scolds her but Bonnie tells her they both know it's coming.

Christy makes up the couch into a bed, Regina comes in and Christy offers her help if she needs anything. Christy and Regina say goodnight, Christy comes back and tells Regina that she is doing great so far, however, Regina disagrees: "I think I might snap and kill you and your mother in your sleep.". Christy goes into her room and sleeps with her Mom, Bonnie jokes that Regina could melt down and try to kill them in their sleep. Christy becomes serious and asks why she thought about that (as Regina had just mentioned it). Bonnie admits she was joking and they begin to go to sleep.

Regina comes in and admits that she embezzled a total of $3.5 million from her clients. Christy questions her why, Bonnie corrects her to question how. Regina admits that the reason she agreed to sleep here is because the police may be waiting at her house. Christy realizes that she has great problems to Regina's disappointment. Christy continues to offer help and then tells her she can get in her bed with her and her Mom.

Christy gets up in the middle of the night, she wakes up Bonnie and alerts her that Regina is gone, they drive and search to find her riding a bike, Regina reveals she is riding to Canada. Bonnie tells her she can be extradited from Canada. Regina gets off her bike, turns around and reveals she's going to Mexico instead.

At home, Regina, Bonnie and Christy are sat at the table and Regina finally admits she's an alcoholic. Regina offers Christy some of the money she embezzled before the police take it back. Christy declines the offer, Bonnie and Regina seal their annoyance for each other as Bonnie questions if she can take Regina's purse when she goes to prison.

The next morning, Baxter comes in and puts a wad of cash on the table in front of Christy and reveals that he sold Mexican Viagra before he got out of San Diego. He also reveals that he took some Viagra before he came over just in case she wanted to thank him further with sex. She doesn't decline and takes him and the wad of cash into the bedroom.

Quotes[]

Christy: I really need you to pay me back the money I lent you to buy the van.
Baxter: Oh, okay. Well your timing is good, 'cause I'll have that money very soon.
Christy: So, never...

Christy: I hate to do this, and I wouldn't if I wasn't really up against it, but is there any way you could lend me a few grand until the end of the month?
Bonnie: Oh, boy, it's always so awkward when relatives ask for money.
Christy: Relative? I'm not some second cousin who tracked you down on Facebook. I'm your daughter.
Bonnie: See, it's already uncomfortable.
Christy: Come on, you know I'm good for it.
Bonnie: Do I?
Christy: Mom!
Bonnie: I-I would help you if I could, but I'm strapped too; I'm going paycheck to paycheck.
...
Bonnie: You know, I do have an idea that might buy you a little time.
Christy: Great, what is it?
Bonnie: Why don't I move in with you and the kids, and we'll share expenses?
[Christy gives Bonnie a panicked look and sighs]
Christy: Yeah, that is an idea.
Bonnie: We'd be roomies!
Christy: Yeah, roomies!
Bonnie: So, what do you say?
Christy: Ooh, it's a tough one. I say no and I might be broke and homeless living on the street, scavenging on the street looking for food like dog, I say yes and I'm living with you.
Bonnie: So?
Christy: I'm thinking.

Bonnie: What's going on?
Christy: Oh, um, I just thought that we could invite...?
Regina: Regina.
Christy: ...Regina out for a cup of coffee.
Bonnie: Oh, how nice! (whispers) why would we do that?
Christy: We're supposed to help each other.
Bonnie: That's just a suggestion, that's not a rule.
