After finding out that her husband, country music star Bobby Gallagher, had an affair with a co-worker, Reba Mackenzie moves herself, her family, and her mother to Malibu, to live in a house that she never knew her husband had. She hopes to restart a music career that she abandoned years ago so she could take care of her family, which allowed her husband's music career to take off. After moving in, she immediately meets her neighbor Kim, who comes off as a flighty woman who can't keep anything to herself. After finally scheduling a meeting with a record producer, Reba goes to the office and finds that she isn't what they are looking for, because she isn't 'young and sexy' according to the record producer's assistant, Geoffrey. Reba soon realizes that Malibu is going to be a much different place, and a big adjustment for her Nashville-native family. As her formerly shy and reserved daughter, June, makes a new friend (Kim's stepson, Sage), her formerly popular son, Cash, is adjusting to his girlfriend breaking up with him rather than trying to maintain a long-distance relationship.

Reba then proceeds to try and convince Geoffrey to get Travie off the track.

When the audition is over, it is announced that Kim has won and therefore will be singing in church for Christmas. Reba and Lillie Mae are quite shocked about this, as Kim's singing was atrocious. Geoffrey tells both Reba and Lillie Mae the only reason Kim won was because her husband donated quite a lot of money to the church, with a condition that Kim wins the competition. Reba tries to keep this information secret, but when Kim gets a bit cocky about winning, Reba lets the truth slip out. Also, Reba discovers that June no longer believes in God, because she prayed that Reba and Bobby would stay together and that prayer wasn't answered.
