Aaron tries to appease suspended David's gloom nearing misery now their dog Regina is missing too. Aaron finds 'Reggie' was taken away by Vera Punt, even fatter, estranged sister of the bitch's late first owner Val Grundy, who sticks to her 'sentimental' inheritance, stressing French bulldogs are expensive, waves the gay couple's emotional commitment, and when Aaron convinces David to let her keep Reggie rather then sue, through reluctant Toadie, the ingrate sticks them with a vet bill. Feeling he lost enough, David accepts otherwise lucky Leo's abject apologies. Ned bends over all ways to get back into Bea's good books, but she 'can't explain' why it still 'feels wrong'. Piper tells Paul he 'needs to stay away from Terese', even in hotel management.
