Maddie Townsend (JoAnna Garcia Swisher) finds herself falling for Coach Cal, her son Ty's baseball coach, following an ugly and traumatic divorce from her husband, Bill. However, the romance doesn't bode well with everyone, including Ty. In need of income, she and her two best friends, Helen and Dana Sue, go into business together and open The Corner Spa, though its list of never-ending renovations proves problematic.
Toward the end of season one, the spa goes off without a hitch (for the most part) and Maddie finds her voice, as well as a handsome new boyfriend. But naturally, Bill swoops in and stirs the pot, begging Maddie to take him back. Before she can answer, the police call to inform her that Kyle has been in a car accident.
