Widowed Sandy and her matchmaker friend Joanne discuss Sandy's recent date with Dick, which took place in a hot air balloon. Sandy reveals to Joanne that she already has her sights set on her next date -- which she hopes will be with Mark, a shooting instructor. Joanne and Sandy head to the gun range where Sandy gets up the nerve to ask Mark out -- and he says yes! A few days pass and Sandy still hasn't heard from Mark. Just as Sandy is ready to throw in the towel, Mark calls. The two arrange a dinner date. Mark comes over to Sandy's place where they share a simple but romantic, dining experience, getting to know each other away from all the firearms.

Finally, Gail decides to attend the rodeo. Dressed in her best Western wear, Gail braves the event. Though she is initially uncomfortable, Gail stays to support her son.
