-{{spoiler}}
-The story begins with Clara depressed that her Octopussoir keeps interfering with her life, sprouting out and making people vomit. She then is told that she can get an Extreme Vaginal Makeover, under the care of the esteemed Dr. Wooldoor Sockbat. It goes fairly well, but Clara soon becomes obsessed with what she perceives as flaws in the [[vagina]], which she keeps demanding be fixed. After it reaches the point where more plastic surgery is impossible, she is shocked to find it looks like [[Joan Rivers]] (and talks like her too). The only possibility to get rid of her "vajoana" (that won't make it resemble [[Kevin Spacey]]'s vagina) is to reinstall the Octopussoir. However, when she goes to find the Octopussoir again, she discovers he is happy now, having completed law school and married a 38-year-old Jewish woman (who will marry anything). He explains to Clara that the reason her plastic surgery went wrong was because she, unlike him, used it too much.
-Meanwhile, Toot is depressed that the housemates have forgotten her birthday. After they discover her trying to [[suicide|kill herself]], they throw her a party. When she acts surprised, they begin to wonder if her mind is all there, and realizing that she is from the 1920s, hastily conclude that she is elderly and has developed [[Alzheimer's disease]]. They decide that she is a terrible burden on the household, and put her in a retirement home. At first, Toot is horrified when she sees all the old people acting like insane mental patients, and insists she doesn't belong there. However, when the attendants are gone, the seniors let her in on a secret: there is no such disease as Alzheimer's. Old people simply fake the disease to get into luxurious nursing homes where they are waited on hand and foot. Toot decides she likes this life, and eagerly plays along. Unfortunately, while she is talking to Xandir on the phone one day, she accidentally reveals the secret, causing the old timers to decide she must die. They give her a new walker that has faulty brakes, causing Toot to fall off the balcony with a fiery explosion. She survives, however, so the seniors gang up on her in a fight. She survives this, too, and finally manages to flee the scene and escape back to the Drawn Together house. The seniors send for [[bounty hunter]] [[Boba Fett]] to track her down. Unfortunately, once she makes it back to the house, the housemates bring her right back to the home. The old people capture Toot, and force her to [[walking the plank|walk the plank]] into the most fearsome and deadly place possible- the nursing home's pool.
-Meanwhile, the housemates find the scooter Toot escaped home in. Spanky hops on to ride it, but ends up being blown to bits; Boba Fett rigged it up as a [[booby trap]]. They finally realize Toot is in trouble. They pile into the Foxxy 5 Van and break into the pool area where the seniors have imprisoned Toot. Unfortunately, the van, with all atop it, is in the pool soon, sinking. While this is going on, Clara decides that she can take the Vajoana no more, and has come to the home to put it out to pasture. She walks by the pool area and sees the commotion going on. Realizing that there is only one thing to do, she pulls up her dress and lets Joan go to work, telling old jokes from her [[stand-up comedy]] act, jokes which make the old people laugh so hard, it kills them all one by one. The threat eliminated, Captain Hero takes them all flying home. As they are flying, Clara decides that just as she came to accept her Octopussoir, she can accept the Vajoana too- she just wishes she had a way to make it shut up when she needs. When Foxxy hands her a [[tampon]], Clara is delighted, but when she asks how to know when you're supposed to take it out, Foxxy has no idea what she's talking about.
-'''Musical Number''': "You'll Really Love Being Abandoned Here", a happy song about retirement home life sung by Toot and the seniors.
-== Trivia ==
-*For the first time since [[Clara's Dirty Little Secret (Drawn Together episode)|Clara's Dirty Little Secret]], Clara's Octopussoir is mentioned.
-*The title parodies the phrase, "all's well that ends well."
-*The shot of a depressed Clara walking by the pool was originally used in [[Dirty Pranking No. 2 (Drawn Together episode)|Dirty Pranking No. 2]].
-*The show ''Extreme Vaginal Makeover'' is a parody of the controversial [[plastic surgery]] show ''[[Extreme Makeover]]''.
-*The picture that Toot identifies as a vase, and Captain Hero identifies as two people, is a well-known [[optical illusion]]; the image that a person sees is said to contain insights about his or her personality.
-*Clara's obsession with her vagina represents the plastic surgery tend people tend to have over any part of their body (many of her complaints, like [[pimple]]s or [[crows' feet]], are usually related to the face). The maximum amount of plastic surgery possible turns it into [[Joan Rivers]]'s face---a crack at her many surgeries.
-*Clara's vagina is, interestingly, male.
-*[[Boba Fett]] makes an appearance; he is hired to kill Toot, but ends up killing Spanky instead.
-*[[NBC]] [[public service announcements]] are parodied again, this time in a segment called "The More You Don't Know When To".
-*The scene where the Foxxy 5 van crashes through the wall of the retirement home is a parody of ''[[The Dukes of Hazzard]]''. When the van floats in the pool, it is shown to have a [[flags of the Confederate States of America|Confederate flag]] on top, just as the Dukes' car, the [[General Lee]] did. This is somewhat odd, if one takes into account that Foxxy---and the other members of the Foxxy Five, for that matter---are all [[African-American]].
-*When the seniors are forcing Toot to walk the plank into the retirement home pool, her right shoe comes off and sinks ominously into the muck. Moments later, both shoes are back on her feet.
