Doyle is helping Maggie and Hopey junk their sleeper sofa, but it's too heavy to bring up the hill to burn. The duo chat with the now-married Penny Century at Mrs. Galindo's wake. Hopey keys a poorly parked car after picking up some guitar picks at the music store, but the car alarm goes off. Later on, she finds one of Izzy's secret diaries (titled The Secrets of Life and Death vol. 5) while unpacking at Terry's place. Maggie's Aunt Vicki, who has lost her wrestling title, tells her she can stay at her place. Maggie accepts, but only because she feels sorry for her.
