After being passed over for a promotion at her dead-end retail job, Jaye begins hearing voices from a defective wax lion and a brass monkey. Trips to her mother's therapist and the local bar, where she meets the cute new bartender whose wife cheated on him on their honeymoon, do nothing to assure Jaye that she is not going crazy. After a night of verbal harassment from the Wax Lion, Jaye grudgingly agrees to do what the voices tell her. She arranges a horrible blind date between her sister and Thomas, a lovesick EPS worker. Sharon has no interest in Thomas because, as she reveals to him and Jaye, she is a lesbian, and the date ends in a trip to the hospital when Thomas has an allergic reaction to peanuts. Thomas' ex-wife visits him at the hospital and she and Sharon are immediately attracted to each other. Thomas also finds a new romantic interest in his nurse. Despite the good effects of her actions, Jaye remains unconvinced that she isn't crazy or that the voices aren't evil. | ||||||
