Through mutual encouragement, the women decide it's time to take some risks that they wouldn't ordinarily take. When Ava's much-younger husband gets an acting job playing a teenager, she decides it's time to be honest with him about her real age. Chloe starts dating a man who is trying to fatten her up, but to her delight she finds it quite liberating. Meanwhile Lola begins therapy sessions with Sellers to find out why she's attracted to gay men, and Emerson must convince her wealthy parents to let her work at the real estate office.

When Charlie informs everyone that he has invested in a hot nightclub so that he can date super models, they analyze the notion of ""dating up"" or ""dating down,"" and how the ideal situation lies balanced somewhere in-between. At the club, a young woman flirts with Ava's husband and she becomes concerned that his budding acting career may change the balanced dynamic in their marriage; Chloe and Emerson think they're ""dating up,"" but are in for a surprise; Sellers tries to find balance by dating Danushka (Adrianne Curry), a gorgeous model with very low self-esteem; and Lola learns that ""dating up"" is not all about money.
