The next day at work, Laverne continues to feel depressed, after which Rhonda and Squiggy suggest getting a new roommate. In quick succession, a football player's girlfriend, a man in his forties, a bag lady, and a woman whose clothes and habits mirrors those of Laverne apply for the space, with none working out. That night, Lenny, Squiggy, Carmine, Frank, and Rhonda spend the night with Laverne to ward off her loneliness.
