Meanwhile, Quiz at the Beagle is thrown into disarray when the Quiz Master is replaced with a not very funny comedienne called Lucy Moorhead. Michelle and Brian track down the Quiz Master but he is too upset to return and feels he’s not wanted. Michelle learns that Lucy is his ex-girlfriend and he is the butt of many of her jokes. Michelle tries to woo the Quiz Master but her gets the wrong idea and feels used. When Catherine puts two and two together she realizes that Mac is sleeping with Lauren, the children’s lawyer.

She and Micky reconcile, while Michelle sends the Quiz Master a vid of the crowd demanding his return. He really is wanted.
