Template:QOTW - The Story of Melissa's Mother/Plot
Ava, Tiffani and Pamhouser visit Melissa and see her mother, Bill Rose (previously seen in "Melissa's All That"). Expecting to see the inspiration for Melissa's wanton sexual behavior, they are surprised by Bill's stereotypically gay mannerisms. The following morning, Melissa invites Ava and Angie to the Lesbian Rodeo Ball being held to honor her mother, but soon begins arguing with Ava about her mother's sexuality. At the ball that night, members of the Rodeo bombard Melissa with compliments about her mother, most of which can be taken as double entendres about Bill's homosexuality after his social transition to male. Concerned, Melissa confronts him and Bill states that he is not only gay, but also " was a man trapped in a woman's body" and that he has decided to allow Melissa to perfom his sex change operation during his stay in Quillsville. The surgery is a success. That night, Bill and Melissa join the Willls for dinner. As the dinner begins, however, Melissa becomes frustrated when the Willis turn the conversation towards Bill's operation, and storms out of the room. At Melissa's home, Melissa tells Bill that she is not sure she can deal with Bill's gender identity much longer. Saddened, Bill leaves Melissa's home and decides to stay at a nearby Marriott Hotel.
Meanwhile, Heather has been out of town attending a seminar on creating a web series and is unaware of what has happened. On her way home, Heather stops at the Marriott, meets Bill, and has a few drinks with him. Quickly bonding, they retire to Bill's room for sex. The next morning, Heather shares her newfound love with Ava and Angie before showing them a picture of Bill on her cellphone. Ava and Angie go into snickering, while Heather, unaware of Bill's operation, believes they are just jealous. After Tabby and Shushu tells Heather that Melissa's mom has completed a sex change and reveals that Jill is now called Bill, Heather realizes that she has had sex with Bill and vomits profusely for sixty uninterrupted seconds. At the same time, Bill returns to Melissa's home and apologizes, and Melissa returns the favor, reconciling their relationship. Bill tells Melissa that he met someone, and when he says it was Heather, whom Melissa despises, she becomes furious. Heather is traumatized after finding out about Bill and, when she hears Melissa come inside the house, she tries to hide under Ava and Angie's bed, but Melissa finds her and brutally beats her, ordering her to stay away from her and her family. As Melissa leaves, Heather retaliates by saying "Hey Melissa, I fucked your mom" and slams the door.
After hering the commotion, Heather tells Ava and Angie what Melisssa has done, and Ava is furious. Just as Ava is set to beat Melissa up, she hears Deanna call Ava's name. Ava orders Deanna to stand back and wait a minute, but when Deanna tells Ava that it is an urgent situation, Ava turns, and sees her daughter is covered, from head to toe with bees. Melissa yells for Deanna to take her hand, and be still. Deanna obliges, the bees all scramble onto Melissa, and subsequently sting her all at once.
Ava is relieved that Melissa is immune to the bee stings as Melissa wakes up, only for Angie to brutally beat Melissa up. Tiffani shows up and arrests Melissa and Angie for aggravated assalt on Heather and Melissa, respectively.
In a second subplot, Tabby and Shushu goes to Robyn & Holly's Vegaetarian Buffet and Tabby eats the well-known Big Ten Cheese Pizza, a 10-pound, 10-cheese pizza in nine minutes and 47 seconds. In a stuffed stupor, Shushu meets up with Garfield Arbuckle. However, she does not recognize him until they wake up in the same bed that afternoon.
Tabby becomes ecstatic when she meets Garfield and Odie, and they invites Tabby and Shushu to watch her in Muncie. Against Shushus's express wishes, Tabby leaks the relationship onto the Internet, resulting in a media circus and the claim that Garfield is a dumb fat cat. Attempting to break off the relationship, Shushu realizes that Garfield is a well-educated, articulate and rather accomplished man who hides his intelligence from the public as American society derides intelligent fat men. In fact, he is one of the most intelligent men Shushu has ever met. Shusuh invites him, Odie, and Jon Arbuckle for dinner with the family, where Angie and Brynn become interested in his accomplishments while Ava isn't fond of Jon's lectures. However Shushu soon becomes even more uncomfortable with the relationship when she cannot keep up with his intelligence and tries comparing herself to Garfield.
Realizing that Shushu had never gotten over the death of Tom, Garfield advises her about feelings and catches a mouse with Garrfield. Tabby and Brynn suggests Shushu date another man to make Garfield jealous, but the attempt, with Brynn posing as Shushu's date, Dirk, fails, though Brynn enjoys getting attention from various women.
