Jennie's mother, Berenice, has been chair-bound for weeks after a nasty spider bit her leg, but the doctor assesses that her main problem is her morbid obesity. Cassandra however, is more concerned with the well-being of her new cat Chinnie and exploiting the special needs adults she is supposed to be caring for. Jennie tries to help her mother lose weight, but after the Tummy Tumbler proves ineffective, she and her friends enlist the help of their GLS (God's Love Society) spiritual leaders, Miss La Mont and Miss Butcher, and they hold a cult-like intervention.
