Please note: the season has 10 episodes in total: the first three are an hour long; and the next seven are 30 minutes each.
In the second season opener: Ruby has been on her weight loss journey for one year and has managed to lose over 100 pounds. However, with the recent death of her father, Ruby has gotten off track and gained 5 pounds.
Disheartened, Ruby wonders if she will be able to get back on her program. Ruby's ex-boyfriend, Denny, suggests she join him in Charleston for a Rascal Flatts concert. This is exactly what Ruby needs to get re-energized. Jeff, Georgia, and the gang decide to tag along, even though they dislike Denny for breaking Ruby's heart in the past.
Once in Charleston, Ruby and her friends have a great time. The concert is amazing and, thanks to Denny's friendship with the lead singer, they even get to hang out backstage with Rascal Flatts.
It seems that Denny is doing everything possible to redeem himself, including planning healthy meals and showering her with gifts. Ruby confides in Denny that she has gotten off her program and, with his knowledge as a personal trainer, he is able to give her pointers to getting back on track.
Back in Savannah, Ruby has a session with her therapist, Dr. Brewerton. She talks to him about the death of her father and how it has thrown her off track.
