The series centers on three middle-aged best friends from Los Angeles: Melanie (Valerie Bertinelli), Joy (Jane Leeves), and Victoria (Wendie Malick). The three women find a more welcoming and less shallow, less youth-obsessed community in Cleveland, Ohio, after their Paris-bound plane makes an emergency landing. They decide to stay and lease a home where sassy elderly caretaker Elka (Betty White) resides in the guest house.

"Good Luck Faking the Goiter"

When Melanie's secretive son Will (Joe Jonas) comes to visit on his way back to college, she invades his privacy and learns a little too much when she discovers that he did not tell her about getting engaged. She uses his cell phone to text his girlfriend by pretending to be Will, resulting in their break up. Meanwhile, when Victoria is nominated for an Emmy, Elka helps her fake a deadly disease to gain sympathy and votes. However, Victoria learns that faking the disease is not an act at all when members of a charitable organization dedicated to the disease stop by. Joy, believing that she is experiencing a mid-life crisis, tries seeking therapy...by going to different therapists; using this experience she is able to help Will and Melanie reconnect.

"Love is Blind"

Joy dates a 22-year-old blind man (Randy Wayne), who believes that she is 26 years old. Meanwhile, Victoria receives a surprise visit from her daughter, Emmy (Jennifer Love Hewitt), and Melanie from her son Will (Joe Jonas), who reveal their plan to wed each other. Elsewhere, Elka prank calls A-Rod.
