List of episodes

The second season of the TV Land original sitcom Hot in Cleveland premiered on January 19, 2011.[2] A total of twenty episodes have been ordered. The series will take a break in March after the first ten episodes have aired and the remaining half of the episodes will air during the summer.[3] The series stars Valerie Bertinelli, Wendie Malick, Jane Leeves and Betty White.

Plot

The second season picks up 24 hours after the storm and Elka's arrest on hiding stolen property. While in Jail, Elka reveals that her late husband was involved with a crime family after she recognizes a fellow inmate named Diane. But that wasn't the only revealation coming from Elka, for it turned out that she also had a tryst with Rick, the neighbor and The Plain Dealer columnist who tried to seduce Melanie in the first season. Because of these events, Elka could face more legal problems, prompting her lawyer to suggest that she be declared incompetent so she won't stand trial, which proved to be a disaster because her lawyer became a chick magnet for Melanie, Joy and Victoria. After her fiancee Max broke up with her, he decided to date and marry another woman, but Elka fought back and both Elka and Max became a couple again. However, Max's son is running for political office and Elka mentioned that dating Max could affect his chances because he doesn't want the publicity. Elka has also started drinking as well.

Melanie, on the other hand, can't forgive her cop-boyfriend Pete for arresting Elka, but the two do kiss and make up, although his mother has made it known that she does not like Melanie. To add insult to injury, Melanie also found out that Hank, the married plumber she met back in the first season is Pete's older brother and still has feelings for her, and thanks to Elka announcing it at a bar, that relationship (between Melanie and Pete) ended quickly and cost Hank his marriage after his wife witnessed it all just as Pete was toasting his love for Melanie. She later found another guy, a doctor named Andrew. In addition, Melanie sold her home in Los Angeles, after it was locked up in legal limbo.

Meanwhile, Joy learns that her son has decided to not see her just yet, but that's the least of her problems: She just learned that the INS plans to deport her back to England, so she must find a way to get a green card... which is where Rick comes in. Although she does accept his offer of "marriage" (knowing that Rick still plans to be a "player"), this unusual relationship and Rick's plan to use this ruse to bed other women would be ruined when Rick tried to smooth talk their immigration lawyer. On top of that, she did tell Elka after she was arrested by Pete for taking money in a rummage sale drug deal (she sold a guy Victoria's "chill pills") that she was a shoplifter as a teenager. Her love life also took a weird turn when she found out a guy she wanted to get with already found another woman and he wanted Joy to babysit his son, which gave her the idea of wanting to have another child. She also had a past relationship with actor Michael E. Knight, whom she despises because of a one-night stand she had with him. This relevation and the fake wedding could mean more problems for the eyebrow specialist and her attempts to stay in the United States.

Financial problems are also taking a toll on Victoria. She just learned that her financial advisor was arrested on embezzlement charges and as a result, is now broke and has her assets frozen, leaving her with trying to get herself out of debt and hopefully keep her sanity. A example of that came when she showed up with a wheelchair-bound billionaire who just died during a night out at the bar. In addition, she learned at a movie audition that she would be playing Melanie Griffith's mother, which resulted in the two having a cat fight (that was caught on tape) that later managed to land her a job on All My Children alongside rival actress Susan Lucci in the wake of Victoria winning a Daytime Emmy award over Lucci in the first season. Unfortunately Lucci sought revenge by screwing with Victoria during their scenes together, which would be thwarted by Joy threatening to sue the producers.

Production

On July 7, 2010 TV Land announced that the show was renewed for a second season, which will begin production on 20 episodes on November 1, 2010 with scheduled premiere on January 19, 2011.[1]

Mary Tyler Moore will guest star in the season opener, in which her character is somewhat connected with Elka in the wake of the latter's arrest in the first season finale. This will mark the first time since 1977 that both White and Moore worked together since The Mary Tyler Moore Show ended its run on CBS.[4] Sherri Shepherd will appear in an episode airing February 2011 as the judge in Elka's competency case.[2] It has also been confirmed that Melanie Griffith, Illeana Douglas, Jack Wagner and Bonnie Franklin will also guest star, Franklin reuniting with One Day at a Time co-star Valerie Bertinelli. John Schneider, David Starzyk and Wayne Knight will also reprise their roles this season.[5]
