Eddie is eating with Cofeld, Nicole's husband, at Lee's Hoagie House. Eddie is complaining about having to go to the marriage workshop. He blames Cofeld's wife for putting the idea in Joy's head. Cofeld comes up with the idea to tell Joy that the New York Times said marriage counseling is bad for marriages. Eddie likes the idea and asks Cofeld to come home with him to back him up in front of Joy, but Cofeld is scared. Eddie convinces him regardless.

He then tells Joy that the New York Times told him that marriage counseling is bad for marriages. Joy and Eddie start fighting with Nicole and Cofeld backing them up respectively. After some nasty comments by the ladies, Cofeld tells Eddie to give up. Eddie, not wanting to give up, makes a last ditch effort to get Nicole out of the picture and tells Nicole that Cofeld thinks she's fat. Nicole goes crazy and starts yelling at him in Korean. Nicole runs out of the house with Cofeld running after her apologizing.

Joy can't believe Eddie threw Cofeld under the bus like that and realizes Eddie is desperate to get out of the workshop. Joy capitulates and tells Eddie that they don't have to go to the airport. Joy says their biggest problem is the refrigerator so Eddie agrees to buy her a new one.

Cofeld is over later and is appreciating Eddie's new fridge when Jeff comes over and tells them that he now hangs out with Steph and her fight friend because the fight friend told Steph to give Jeff some of the money. Eddie tells Jeff that he is being tricked by Steph into being nice to her. He tells him not to hang out with the fight friend. Then, Joy walks in and tells Eddie how she tricked him into buying her a new fridge by pretending to want to go to a marriage workshop.
