Christy (Anna Faris) has gone back to school and is pursuing her dream of becoming a lawyer, while Bonnie (Allison Janney) attempts to have a healthy romantic relationship with her fiancé, Adam (William Fichtner).

Through it all, Christy and Bonnie rely on their support system from AA, including the wise Marjorie (Mimi Kennedy), the wealthy and sometimes misguided Jill (Jaime Pressly), the overly emotional Wendy (Beth Hall), and the loudmouth but sweet Tammy (Kristen Johnston).

Christy's daughter Violet made her final appearance on this show in the episode "Jell-O Shots and the Truth about Santa".

Bonnie disagrees with her daughter, and turns out to be correct when Christy gets a good-sized check for incidentals as part of her student loan and finds herself in a casino parking lot.

Although Adam agrees to Bonnie's wedding site, he uses his life savings to buy the barrel factory with hopes of turning it into a bar.

When Tammy takes on a loud home improvement project at the apartment, Christy spends time at Jill's house to get her studies done in peace.

Christy uses past experiences to face off against the best student in her class in a mock trial, with hopes of earning a summer internship with a local law firm.

Special guest star: French Stewart as Chef Rudy Absent: William Fitchner as Adam When the ladies from AA decide to participate in a Secret Santa gift exchange, Christy goes to great lengths to surprise and delight Wendy.

Adam's friend Mitch (Bradley Whitford) is in town to make amends to Christy and Bonnie, who reluctantly accept his apologies.

After a break-in at Jill's house, a police officer named Andy (Will Sasso) is assigned to guard the place for a few days.

Absent: William Fitchner as Adam At a Valentine's Day dinner with Bonnie, Christy laments her empty love life and blames mom for her lack of trust in men, but Marjorie (whose plans to watch Notting Hill keep getting interrupted by pleas for advice from her friends) clues Bonnie in and the situation ends on a much nicer note.

Absent: William Fitchner as Adam When Christy gets her credit card bill and sees how much she spent on cigarettes, she tries to quit, making her irritable around the rest of the group.

While helping Adam at the bar during the March Madness rush, Christy gets caught up with a group of guys using phone apps to bet on every aspect of the games.

Christy and Bonnie are surprised to open the refrigerator and find plentiful, name brand food, which Adam says he bought because the bar is doing well.

Elsewhere, while Marjorie and Wendy attend a play at the senior center, Christy and Jill hesitantly accept a coffee date with a pair of men from their Tuesday meeting.

Special guest star: French Stewart as Chef Rudy On the day of her six-year "sober birthday", Christy is distraught after learning that Nora is moving to Minneapolis and can no longer be her sponsor.
