Complete story — includes the ending

When Bonnie clashes with new building owner Rita ( Patti LuPone ), who is the ex-wife of the previous owner Tony, Christy is worried that they might get kicked out of their apartment. Bonnie first refuses to do her job out of petulance and fear that she'll be doing menial labor for the rest of her life, but actually begins working hard after heeding advice from Marjorie and Christy. Bonnie later stands up to Rita when the owner demands Bonnie evict Mr. Munson, a blind Army veteran who is battling prostate cancer and is behind on his rent payments. Title meaning: What Bonnie is planning to eat in the bathroom of the bistro and how Rita describes the woman that her husband left her for.
