    Summary

    Empowered by her previous brief separation from Michael, Amanda De Santa wrestles with her feelings and comes to a startling conclusion – she really is much happier as a single woman. Well, sort of single, anyway.

    Michael, on the other hand, is about to learn that money really can’t buy happiness. It can, however, buy the affection of former mistress Marissa Morgan, though his movie studio connections certainly help in that regard, too. It can also buy a beachfront property in Chumash, which is a good thing since he agreed to buy one for Amanda to move into – things get messy when you marry young and poor with no prenup, after all.

    While Amanda relishes her newfound freedom and sets about rediscovering herself, Michael finally confronts the reality that he messed up big time and might not be able to fix things after all before resolving to seek distraction from his situation in any way he can. Tracey and Jimmy contend with suddenly becoming children of divorce along with all the benefits and drawbacks that brings. As for Marissa … she’s about to learn that life might not be so fun when you catch feelings for unavailable men, and that some entanglements are better kept firmly behind closed doors.
