Melissa struggles with her recent breakup with Jason. Knowing that Melissa won’t open up to her, Joan convinces Melissa to consult a tarot card reader. When Joan pulls the “beaver” card, she learns that she must play the helper to Melissa and take over some of Melissa’s responsibilities, so she can take time to heal. Melissa reluctantly agrees to accept Joan’s help. Almost immediately, Joan causes more problems than solutions. Her constant calls about errands like food shopping and getting Cooper to and from his activities disrupt Melissa’s relaxing trip to a spa.

Joan helps Melissa host a meeting for a fundraiser at Cooper’s school. Joan gets over-eager and promises she can get Carol Burnett to host the annual event. Melissa is beyond skeptical, but Joan insists. Joan continues to over-step as she seeks out a matchmaker to help set Melissa up with a bachelor. Joan secretly records a video to post to a matchmaking website. When Joan stands in for Melissa at an introductory meeting with a cosmetic vendor, Brett Freedman, the two almost have a full scale fight.

Frustrated that she can’t get in touch with Carol Burnett, Joan learns Carol is having lunch in town and crashes it. Much to Joan’s surprise, Carol is less-than-pleased. Carol throws Joan attitude like we’ve never seen from the lovable comic legend. Turns out Carol never forgave Joan for ruining a family trip to Hawaii years ago.

With egg on her face, Joan then attempts to fix the bad situation she created with Brett by picking up some food for the cast and crew at Melissa’s video shoot. While Melissa and Brett are setting up the shoot, Brett shares Joan’s matchmaker video with Melissa, which a friend had told him about. Melissa struggles to keep her cool but is seething inside. When Joan arrives at the shoot and won’t stop offering her two cents, Melissa finally loses her patience and a huge fight ensues – threatening to undo any good that Joan actually did – even if she did it Joan-style.
