Blanche meets a man named Harry who she is not particularly interested in until she finds out how loaded he is. She then invites him over for dinner and tries her best to impress him in hopes of landing a rich man. However, her attempts to impress Harry go horribly wrong when she accidentally sets the kitchen on fire. Meanwhile, Rose, Dorothy, and Sophia all compete for a spot on a game show called "Grab That Dough" until they realize three people aren't allowed to play at once. The three ladies decide to share a couch and answer questions together, but their competitive nature puts their friendship and their chances of winning in jeopardy.

As the episode begins, Blanche is at a coffee shop when she meets Harry, a wealthy businessman who happens to be looking for a new place to live. Blanche isn't particularly interested in him until he mentions how much money he has. Suddenly, she's all over him and invites him over for dinner that night.

Back at the house, Rose, Dorothy, and Sophia are all excited about the opportunity to audition for "Grab That Dough," a game show where contestants can potentially win a lot of money. However, the excitement quickly turns to disappointment when they realize that only two people can play at once. Undeterred, they decide to team up and answer the questions together since they each have their own knowledge and expertise.

Meanwhile, Blanche is frantically preparing for her date with Harry. She wants everything to be perfect so she can secure her chance with a rich man. However, when she's cooking dinner, she accidentally sets the kitchen on fire. Dorothy, Sophia, and Rose come rushing in to help put out the flames, but they're all too distracted by their upcoming game show audition to really pay attention to what's going on.

As they're cleaning up the mess, they all start talking about "Grab That Dough" again and decide that they can all play together. They come up with a system where they'll all share one spot on the couch and take turns answering questions based on their areas of expertise. However, their competitive nature quickly gets the best of them and they start arguing about who should answer each question.

Meanwhile, Blanche's date with Harry is not going as planned. She's flustered from the fire and is desperately trying to impress him with little success. Harry seems more interested in Sophia, who he finds endearing and charming. Blanche is not pleased by this and tries even harder to win Harry's affection, but it only makes things worse.

Back at the house, the ladies are still bickering over the questions and losing sight of the fact that they're all on the same team. Sophia gets fed up and storms off, leaving Rose and Dorothy to finish the game. However, they quickly realize that they're both better off with Sophia's help and go searching for her.

Meanwhile, Blanche's date with Harry has taken a surprising turn. Harry has fallen for Sophia and wants to take her out instead. Blanche is devastated but tries to put on a brave face when Sophia comes home. Sophia is thrilled by the news and the ladies all celebrate over cheesecake, forgetting their earlier disagreements and enjoying each other's company.

As the episode ends, the ladies are all gathered on the couch watching TV together. They may not have won "Grab That Dough," but they realize that they won something far more valuable – their friendship.
