It's a family reunion the trio would rather forget when Melanie's overprotective mother Loretta (Shirley Knight), Victoria's womanizing actor father Alex (Hal Linden) and Joy's criticizing mother Philippa (Juliet Mills), who just became Elka's new buddy via the internet, pay the ladies a visit. And that is just the beginning when Melanie and Victoria, respectively suggesting that Loretta take risks and Alex date more age-appropriate women, find their parents together in bed... and Melanie knows Loretta is still married.
