TV Land's "Hot in Cleveland" Season 2~"LeBron is Le Gone"

Four Wonderful Women Living in Cleveland!

Diane Zoller-Ciatto
As this episode opens, Joy is walking in the rain and a bum played by Jon Lovitz is singing Pagliacci to her. She comes into the bar and sees Elka and Melanie and tells them that she is marrying a homeless guy! She leaves to go plan her wedding.

Melanie notices a nice looking guy coming into the bar and Elka tells her that he is the coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, played by Isaiah Mustafa; that Old Spice guy (I'm on a horse) who is gorgeous! Elka tells her something in basketball lingo to say to him and now that he has asked her on a date, she has to bone up on basketball because he thinks she understands the game. But on the date, he can't get over losing LeBron James and everything that Melanie says is said in the wrong way. So Melanie leaves his house and returns home.

While at home; the lady from the INS pulls a surprise visit to ask the intended husband some questions. He has the Bluetooth in his ear so he can hear the correct answers to her questions. That idea disintegrates before their eyes and the INS lady sees right through the sham. The lady likes the girls and offers to give Joy an extension so she can build her defense.

Victoria is now a roving reporter, interviewing the most uninteresting things going on in Cleveland, but she loves the spotlight; no matter how small. After her gig she gets fired, but the ratings are wonderful so she is rehired.

Two more episodes remain including the one where Elka is on trial, so see ya next week.

Cast:

Elka '" Betty White

Melanie '" Valerie Bertinelli

Joy '" Jane Leeves

Victoria '" Wendie Malick
