You're dead in L.A. without a phone...Lili (ROSELYN SANCHEZ) accidentally forgets to pay the phone bi ll and finds her phone service cut off. While standing in line at the phone company, Reese (STEPHANIE DICKER) convinces her to speed things up by flirting with a supervisor who is clearly attracted to her. Lili does it reluctantly and later, filled with a bizarre combination of Catholic guilt and Latin superstition, she is convinced that the Russian woman standing behind them has cast a spell on her. Her fears are confirmed by a series of minor accidents and mishaps.
A commercial is shooting outside of Who's Who and Ryan (CHRISTIAN KANE) runs into his brother's old high school girlfriend, Tina, who's now a successful advertising executive. Their relationship was clearly an ongoing disaster and Tina insists that Ryan not tell his brother that she's in town. Meanwhile, David (WILLIAM R. MOSES) is giving Brent (BRENT DAVID FRASER) a second chance and allowing him to perform at the club. During a performance, Tina sneaks in back and inevitably Brent sees her. She immediately takes off.
Brent meets up with Tina who is now happily married, with a four-year-old daughter named Skyler. This comes as a shock to Brent, who realizes that she may be his child. He and Tina have a confrontation and he finally acknowledges that he was not, and is not, ready to deal with responsibilities of parenthood. The road to recovery is steep, and Ryan is proud of his brother for negotiating a major hurdle.
