Line 4:

When Harriet dies suddenly, Dottie inherits the house. She decides to sell it and use the money to rent an apartment in [[Manhattan]], betting that she can finally break into comedy before going broke. Dressing in polka-dots to make herself more memorable, her first gigs go well. She also makes friends with other struggling comics on the local club circuit, who are shocked and impressed when she lands a meeting with eccentric mega-agent Arnold Moss via his assistant Claudia Curtis.

Moss enjoys Dottie's set, and immediately lands her a slot at the Comedy Shop on [[Sunset Strip]], [[Los Angeles]]—one of the West Coast's biggest comedy showcases. Erica and Opal, who saw Moss ~~[[Xylophagia|~~eating a napkin]] during the show, are skeptical of the agent but supportive of their mother. Dottie leaves the kids to be babysat by her NYC comedy friends, and her sets are such a success that she extends her trip by two weeks for more, including a guest slot on a nationally syndicated [[Late-night talk show|late night talk show]], ''The Gary Garry Show''. While initially excited about Dottie's rapid rise, the girls are quickly frustrated when she gets home and chooses to return to LA immediately for more shows. After Dottie books an embarrassing—but well-paid—part as a talking chicken in a commercial, Erica tells Opal that Dottie is "disgusting" for not being a "regular mom" who prioritizes parenting over work, and that she wishes she wasn't an Ingels.

Erica starts dating Jordan, a boy from her school, but when his mother, an endocrinologist, walks in on them having sex for the first time she uses it as an opportunity to deliver a lecture on safe sex using a life-size model of the female reproductive system. Erica, mortified, becomes depressed after the incident, but Dottie is too busy to notice. However, when Dottie then appears on a chat show to promote her upcoming residency at the Tropicana casino in [[Las Vegas]] she mentions that Erica dislikes her stand-up career and wants to change her name out of embarrassment, leaving Erica angry at Opal for betraying her trust, and enraged that Dottie is only paying attention to her daughters' lives for the sake of material for her act.
