Seated at table near the lunch counter, Roy and Antonio swap stories about their worst Valentine's Days with Antonio winning for worst one. Fay enters to ask Roy if he has plans for Valentine's Day and flattered Roy declines what he assumes is her asking for a date. Fay clarifies that a flea market is being held in hanger four and Fay needs help moving her husbands' belongs to be sold. Roy leaves and Fay ask Antonio for help. Although he is initially reluctant, he eagerly agrees to help when Fay says she'll cut him in on the proceeds.

Casey sits alone at the lunch counter with a bouquet of roses as Brian approaches asking who she's giving them to. When Casey says the flowers were sent to her by a secret admirer, Brian accuses her of "self-sending" the flowers. They commiserate about being alone and come up with a plan to pose as each other's dates to make themselves appear more attractive to others. At the Sandpiper ticket counter, Helen excitedly ask Joe about their plans for Valentine's Day. She is disappointed when a miscommunication means that Joe has not made plans for Valentine's Day. Russell Greaney approaches asking to charter a flight to fly a banner over his girlfriends diner reading "Nancy, I love you. Will you marry me?" Helen finds it romantic, but Joe is all business. Fay and Antonio enter through gate one talking about how well they did at the flea market. Roy enters with a mounted marlin, thanking Fay, and telling her he plans to give it to his mother.

That night at her home, Fay prepares for bed only to be startled by the ghost of first husband. They are soon joined by George DeVay and George Cochran. The ghost all demand the return of their belongs or they won't leave.

The following day at the airport, Casey follows up with Brian on the plans for their fake date. When Brian suggests The Club Car, Casey objects and demands that they go to Lexington's. After some negotiations that agree on a plan. Meanwhile, Fay enters in a hurry asking Antonio to help her get back all the stuff she sold yesterday. After offering him $50, Antonio agrees to help, first stop is Roy's mother's nursing home to get the marlin.

Joe and Helen are aboard the plane with Russell as they fly the banner of Nancy diner. As Helen admires the romantic act, Joe is annoyed. Helen suggests they call Nancy, so Joe has the tower patch in the call. When Nancy (over the phone) sees the banner she is freaked out as she only knows Russell as the creepy guy that would watch her at work all day. After refusing his proposal, she threatens to call the police if he comes near her again. Back at the airport, Roy is impressed Antonio was actually able to get the marlin away from his mother. With the marlin returned to Fay, she says that only leaves 103 left. Concerned, Antonio ask Fay why she needs these things back and she shares that she felt guilt and has been see apparitions of her husbands.

Back on the plane, Helen tries to explain to Russell that he needs to actually talk to women before proposing to them. After their talk, Russell proposes to Helen and Joe (jokingly) says he'll step aside so they can get married. Back at the airport, Frank Tremain arrives to give Fay back George #2's tweed hat. However, when the ghosts of the Georges reappear, she takes them all into Joe's office to tell them she loves them and she doesn't need there stuff to rewind her of that. Finally a peace with her decision, the Georges vanish and Fay gets a cup of coffee with Frank. As Fay leaves with Frank, Casey arrives appalled by how Brian looks and cancels their fake date. Then Joe and Helen enter with Russell through gate 1 reiterating that Helen will not leave Joe for for him. As Joe and Helen leave, Russell notices Casey and asks her out on a date.
