'Til Death

In the first episode we are introduced to Eddie and Joy Stamm, who have been married for 8000+ days while their new next door neighbors Steph and Jeff Woodcock are young newlyweds. The young couple ends up having an argument over a pool table which ends up migrating next door.

Joy dreads dealing with Eddie about replacing the patio furniture until Steph tells her about a "special" type of deal she makes with Jeff to get the furniture she wants. In both households, a war over distressed patina finishes becomes a power struggle about who wears the pants - and who buys the furniture.

When the Woodcocks and the Starks go out for a thank-you dinner, Joy yearns for more romance from Eddie and asks him why she never received the engagement ring she was promised. With a little help from Jeff, Eddie gives Joy a ring, which she reluctantly accepts - but grows to love in her own special way.

Eddie looks to the newlyweds next door to help him keep his woodpile in the garage when Joy tells him to "use it or lose it."

When Eddie tells Joy that he's practicing with his band, he feels he has to lie to her, but Joy already knows what Eddie is actually.

Jeff is thrilled when his mother comes for a visit, but tension builds between him and Steph when he chooses his mother over her. Jeff goes to his neighbors for help, but ends up more conflicted than ever. Between Joy insisting he send his mom home and Eddie instructing him to secretly make his mom No. 1, Jeff must learn the delicate art of balancing the women in his life.
