Alan (Jon Cryer) receives a letter that Charlie has $2.5 million in unclaimed royalties. He needs Charlie's death certificate to claim the money, but cannot find one and realizes his only proof is Rose's (Melanie Lynskey) word. Evidence that Charlie may be alive mounts after the royalty money is claimed by an unknown party, and Alan and Evelyn (Holland Taylor) receive threatening messages. Meanwhile, Jenny (Amber Tamblyn) receives a check for $100,000 along with an apology note, and a package addressed to Charlie arrives at the house, containing his whiskey, cigars, and a knife he used when he chased Alan around the house. Several women from Charlie's past, including Mia (Emmanuelle Vaugier), Chelsea (Jennifer Taylor) and Dolores Pasternak (Missi Pyle), are shown receiving checks and personalized apology letters.
Meanwhile, Rose is shown holding a captive in her basement. After the unknown captive escapes, Rose returns to the beach house to inform Alan and Walden (Ashton Kutcher) that Charlie is alive and to explain the entire story. While in Paris, Rose caught Charlie in bed with a hooker, a mime, and a goat. When Charlie caught up with her at the train station, she tried to avenge his infidelity by pushing him into the path of an oncoming train, but the goat ended up taking the fall instead. Rose returned to the United States, taking with her a bound and gagged Charlie, and she kept him captive inside her basement until he escaped. After hearing this, Evelyn and Rose go into hiding, while Walden, who also receives a threatening message, decides to go to the police with Alan, where they talk to Lieutenant Wagner (Arnold Schwarzenegger). They later return to the house and find life-size cardboard cutouts of themselves wearing nooses. Fearing for his life, Alan calls Judith (Marin Hinkle), Kandi (April Bowlby) and Lyndsey (Courtney Thorne-Smith) to tell each how much they have meant to him. Similarly, Walden calls Bridget (Judy Greer) and Zoey (Sophie Winkleman) to apologize for how he behaved with each of them. All the women feign emotion while being generally dismissive, and Lyndsey is shown in a pawn shop selling Alan's engagement ring behind his back.
