When Charlie abdicates, Alan tries to pay tribute to him, but is repeatedly disturbed by heckling from Charlie's past affairs. Then Rose speaks, she says that Charlie was the love of her life and that she also forgave him for his infidelity after the marriage proposal and how he died afterwards in the metro in Paris. Evelyn then explains to Alan at home that she has to sell the house, even if Charlie bequeathed it to him, because he cannot pay the costs. She offers him that he and Jake can stay with her.

In the evening a parcel courier rings the doorbell and brings Charlie's urn. Alan sits down on the sofa and talks to her. He says he cannot grant Charlie's last wish that Pamela Anderson swallow his ashes. He then decides to scatter the ashes on the beach and opens the urn and wants to go to the door where Walden is outside. Alan is so frightened that he spills the ashes. Berta just says that she doesn't suck it up. Alan lets in Walden, who explains that he just wanted to kill himself, but the water was too cold. He's on the phone with Bridget, but she doesn't want him back. Walden explains to Alan that he is very rich, but that it doesn't help him in love. Alan then suggests that they go out for a drink and Walden agrees. In the bar, the two discuss their previous lives. Alan recommends that Walden speak to another woman and pick up what he is promptly able to do. Finally they end up at home with two women and Alan again loses out because they both go into the bedroom with Walden. The next morning, Walden tells Alan that he wants to buy the house.

After that she lets them into the house and Walden tries to win them back. Bridget refuses, because she is tired of looking after Walden.
