Sharon sends Ozzy, Kelly and Jack off on a tour of stars' homes so that she can have the house to herself and get some rest. She discusses the enormous (and immediate) impact that the show has had on their lives, and the unexpected fame that has resulted--particularly for Kelly and Lola. She notes all of the press the family has received, both on television and in print, and all of the merchandise that has been released in conjunction with the show. Ozzy and Jack play with their talking dolls on the tour bus and drive Kelly crazy. Sharon also mentions several important events that have occurred since the end of the first season, including a visit from Mike Myers (as part of a commercial the family filmed) and the chance to meet the queen at Buckingham Palace.

The president mentions Ozzy during his remarks, prompting Ozzy to stand and salute the crowd. He immediately travels to London the next day, while Sharon returns to Los Angeles to watch Kelly perform ""Papa Don't Preach"" at the MTV Movie Awards.

Jack also tracks one of his favorite actresses, Natalie Portman, and gets to sit on her lap. Kelly moves to New York for a few months to work on her album. As Sharon travels with her, she comments on the family's success and expresses her fear that something terrible will come along to bring them back to earth.

He had already been going through detox, and the news of Sharon's illness has made a difficult situation much worse. A family friend/employee tries to help Ozzy by helping him get into yoga and reading him poetry, but Ozzy is decidedly less than impressed. Some people try to talk to him about how religion helped them overcome their addictions, but he does not want any part of it. He is terrified by the prospect of losing Sharon, and doesn't want to be away from her. However, he elects to tough it out and stay on tour because he doesn't want to cause Sharon any further stress. Ozzy comes home for a few days during a break in the tour. Sharon tries to have a fire going in the

Kelly then goes to England to perform ""Papa Don't Preach"" on Top of the Pops. Jack heads to North Carolina to film a guest spot for Dawson's Creek. Sharon is depressed about the fact that everyone is away at the same time. Ozzy tries to cheer her up by building a fire outside the beach house so that she can spend some time outside.

Kelly warns that she will run off to Vegas and marry before the end of the year. Sharon actually encourages this, saying that she needs some excitement. Sharon worries about the situation, but Ozzy encourages her to relax and just focus on living one day at a time.

Ozzy meets with a contractor about plans to build an outdoor kennel for all of the dogs, but Sharon quickly kills this idea. Jack and Sharon argue when she insists on going out to dinner.

2x10 - Viva Ozz Vegas

Ozzy is not at all enthused about the ceremony. Kelly and Sarah are less than impressed with Jack's latest female ""friend,"" particularly because she once dated Jack's best friend. Sharon catches the girl in bed with Jack, and later finds condoms in the room.
