The two do everything together. But as Headly is getting to the age where she may want some "boy" time of her own, especially as Bodie Miller, a childhood friend, has just reentered her life and shows interest, Headly wants her mother to find some love of her own again, which René has resisted if only because Michael was the love of her life. Unable to get René signed up to a dating website without a valid credit card, Headly and her more technologically-adept friend Willis decide to create their own method of online dating with men of their choosing. After they come clean to the three men Headly approaches with the carrot of an "all about René" video, they tell them that they cannot tell René that it was them who set up the date, each date to evolve out of the men being regular customers at the Bistro.
