The Senator's race for governor gets a little more crowded when a far right race baiter enters the primary. The Senator is itching for a fight, but Kevin insists on a Do Not Engage policy. However when the microphones are off, The Senator gives the old racist a truly brilliant and patriotic what for. Unfortunately the entire incident is caught on tape and published on the old YouTube.

Nora has an important benefit, but she is so distracted by Kitty's decision to stop chemo that she walks out of her own planning meeting. Luckily a foxy oncologist follows her out and gets her to sign on as an extra on the Wild Bunch. Nora's newfound potential romance is a younger man with a taste for the road and amazing tolerance for Nora's endless prattling about her kids. The Walkers are all atwitter.

Kitty has found holistic medicine. And she doesn't think of it as complimentary medicine but as a lifestyle choice. She knows she is the only one who can help her (well her, plus a stack of new age books, flaxseed oil, and a bottle of kombucha and heaping helping of positive thought). But positive thought doesn't keep hair on your head and in the middle of Nora's benefit, she discovers her hair is falling out. Nora finds her locked in the bathroom. She doesn't understand why this is happening to her. Nora and Sarah talk her down. In a tear-jerking scene, all the Walkers watch the bathroom door anxiously waiting. Kitty exits the bathroom, head held high and The Senator takes her home. He has her back.

Sarah ditches work (again) to help Kitty work through her trials and tribulations. It involves face masks and wardrobe changes. Also, some talking-behind-the-back, a few tears, and some yelling. But Sarah stands by her sister and when Kitty decides to shave her head, Nora and Sarah are there to compliment her peach fuzz and finely-shaped head.
