A new piece of technology is causing problems for those at Bellacourt Manor. A carriage accident leads to the talk of death and dying and the afterlife. While Beatrice never thought she would die and thus is in a sense of crisis, Lillian aims to be buried at Chevrolet Cemetery where the rich and famous of Newport are buried, and not at Shady Acres where all the past Bellacourts are buried. Lillian's wants become a problem for her as Chevrolet is already all booked up. She takes decisive steps to be among the exception to the rule to make it into Chevrolet. Meanwhile, Albert tries to talk a reluctant Victor into procreating with a woman so that they can have a baby to save their crumbling relationship. Their measures to test the waters to see if they would be the parents they want to be may lead to Blanche having a nervous breakdown. And Celery makes arrangements for a reluctant Frederick to take the next step into becoming President. Celery's plan doesn't quite come off the way she wants, however the end result may surprise her.

The Commodore has returned to Bellacourt Manor purportedly on his last legs, the manor where he wants to die. Dodo grants him his request. However, the Commodore, alive and well, has really come back to win Dodo and regain his place in the manor. However he realizes that after forty years of marriage to her, he knows nothing about her in order to win her back. He secretly tries to pry such intimate information from the person who arguably knows her the best, namely Peepers. But Peepers, still in love with the matron of the manor, may have his own thoughts about what the Commodore is trying to do. Meanwhile, Lillian, still in the sanitarium, believes that she can prey on Blanche's seemingly ambitious nature to operate a drug ring, smuggling the drugs out of the institution onto the black market. In the process, Lillian will discover just how ambitious Blanche really is. And Hortense just can't wait for the climax of her plan, when Beatrice and Frederick discover that they are each other's beloved. Hortense's plan takes a twist she didn't envision, even though what happens is typical of Beatrice and Frederick.

Celery continues to lay the groundwork for Frederick's run to president in '08. At a rally at which Celery has dictated to Frederick what he is to do, Frederick does something accidentally "off script" which leads to Celery and Frederick reevaluating the run in '08. Frederick's run for president has divided the nation as demonstrated by those downstairs at Bellacourt Manor. Now that Frederick is focusing on his career, Beatrice, who wants to tell him that she is his beloved and he is hers, has to figure out what to do with her life instead of being with Frederick, it a life where no one loves her. She turns to the one person no one loves for advice. And Officer O'Kelly continues to convince an amnesiac Lillian that she is his wife, Garbagella, however much she feels that doing wifely chores is not in her DNA. Because of Lillian's feelings, O'Kelly just has to keep her away from any triggers that may inform her that she is truly heiress Lillian Bellacourt.
