Plot[]
While eating out, the Barones see Robert's ex-wife, Joanne, dining at another table, leading Ray to tell Amy the story of what led to Robert's divorce five years ago. In the flashback, Robert's wife Joanne is very mean to Robert and also to Debra and Ray when they visit. Finally when Robert asks her to behave, she asks for a divorce. Marie walks in at that time and throws her out of the house. After the flashback, Joanne comes over to the table and hands Robert her business card. He initially throws it away, but later takes it, indicating that he may be considering getting back with her.
