A comedy about six friends at different stages in their lives – married, divorced, newly engaged and single – who are outwardly happy, but secretly questioning if their friends have it better. Andi and Bobby are happily married with two kids but at times long for the days they had less responsibility and more fun; Will is newly single and preaching the bachelor lifestyle, but still pining for his ex-wife; Jules and Lowell are high on their passionate new relationship; and Kate has a successful career but may take a swan dive into the L.A. River when she finds out her last remaining single friend, Jules, just got engaged. When it comes to relationships, these six friends are finding it a challenge to look at each other without wondering… who really has the better life?
When Jules meets Lowell, the man of her dreams, during a whirlwind romance and decides to get married, her friends start to examine their own love lives. Meanwhile, to prove to Will that she isn't picky and shallow, Kate lets him set her up on a blind date.
Concerned about their boring love life, Andi and Bobby try to spice things up. Meanwhile, Kate investigates Lowell's past relationships, and Will misinterprets signals from his ex.
When Will struggles to meet women on his own, Kate takes him to a bar and acts as his wingman. Meanwhile, Andi's pregnancy hormones heighten her sense of smell and her libido.
Trying to be more adventurous, Will "sexts" with his new date; Kate catches Jules and Andi wedding-planning without her.
Kate accidentally sleeps with a male escort and tries to figure out how to take it back. Meanwhile, Bobby and Andi deal with an escaped rat in their attic and Will thinks Lowell has stolen his jacket.
Lowell accompanies Will and Bobby on a night of debauchery; Kate thinks Jules gets special treatment because she is attractive.
Kate realizes the man she is dating has a daughter -- who is old enough to date Will; Rick notices a flirtation between Andi and a playgroup dad.
Will gives his trainer pointers before Kate goes on another date with him; Andi tries to impress her gorgeous male nanny.
Bobby’s idea of a surprise gift for Andi doesn’t resonate with the friends, and Kate finally intervenes, showing him a few tricks in the process.
Out to prove she's not "un-setup-able," Kate persuades Lowell to fix her up with his friend. Andi decides to get more involved in the neighborhood, but Bobby's not on board with the idea.
Lowell and Jules decide to adopt a dog, but Jules takes it to the extreme when she gets to the shelter.
Will signs up for online dating and challenges Kate to see who can find a better mate. Andi goes to extremes to get Charlie into a posh preschool, and Jules fills in as Kate's assistant.
Will pretends to be Kate's date at a wedding, but is having a case of beer goggles. Andi and Bobby are excited to spend their first night away from their son, but things don't go as planned. Jules & Lowell wonder if marriage kills romance.
