Stuart accidentally swallows a dog toy, while Missy discovers the surprising power of even the least bit of encouragement. Just ask a flaccid penis. Hey, oh!

Plus, Missy and Stu wave their last (almost?) goodbyes to the Florida house, and Amy and Melissa definitively confirm it's the gift — not the thought — that counts.
