"Rags Kills Aeverine"

On Ava's 36th birthday (January 4, 2009), Heather gives her a pair of cruise tickets with the intention of going with her. She invites Angie instead, disappointing Heather. Rags and Shushu are also upset at not being invited on the cruise, and they concoct a plan to embarrass Ava upon her return. Heather points out that Rags and Shushu have never followed through with any of their plans to hurt Ava. Rags, disappointed in himself, resolves to prove Heather wrong. Meanwhile, on the cruise, Angie proves to be a frequent source of embarrassment for Ava, defecating on the poop deck and telling inappropriate stories at a dinner with the ship's captain. Outraged, Ava walks onto the deck to be away from Angie, but is confronted by Rags, who has traveled to the ship via speedboat. He shoots her repeatedly with a submachine gun, sending her overboard.

Six days later, Tiffani informs Angie that she has called off the search for Ava since she and her police squad cannot find her.

A year passes. Angie has begun dating again, some dates being a a fat guy and Jennifer, but has talked Tiffani into posing as Ava from time to time so that her death doesn't emotionally scar Deanna, Tom, and the sextuplets. Rags indirectly reveals to Heather and Shushu that he killed Ava. Disturbed and enraged, Heather vows to avenge Ava’s death. Rags realizes that keeping the evidence of his crime as souvenirs is too risky; thus, he disposes of his gun and drawings depicting Ava being killed. After Angie nonchalantly reveals that Ava's life insurance policy, which was made on the cruise right after she and Ava had an argument stating they wanted to kill each other, has recently been cashed for a large amount of money, Jennifer, Lilly, and Stephanie as well as Tiffani, Lando, Pamhouser, and Melissa begin to suspect Angie as Ava's killer. They search the Willis' trash and find Rags' discarded gun and drawings. Tiffani becomes convinced that Angie was the one who killed Ava, given that Rags and Angie have similar handwriting.

Angie goes on trial for Ava's murder. Peggy falsely testifies against Angie, and Angie is close to receiving life in prison. However, Ava suddenly appears in the courtroom and reveals that Rags, not Angie, tried to kill her.
