Brand New Series: Following Marlene's unexpected suicide, Cathy and her family join Marlene's daughters, Gina and Lorna, for a celebratory graveside party. The news that the bee therapy didn't change anything prompts Paul to suggest that Cathy try a debilitating chemotherapy treatment while waiting the six months it will take to get into an experimental drug trial. As Cathy balks at the idea of making herself even sicker for a slight chance of getting better, Rebecca reveals that she's pregnant with Sean's baby. Later, Cathy learns that she's inherited Marlene's house. Last in series.

About This Guide
This episode guide brings together the episode runtime, synopsis, series context, and nearby episode navigation for The Big C. That gives readers and search engines a clearer relationship between the episode and the parent series instead of treating the page as an isolated record.
Editorial Take
Taking the Plunge is presented as an episode-level guide that still keeps the parent series context visible, which is important because isolated episode pages can otherwise feel detached and thin. This episode sits at position 5 out of 36, so the page can answer both the runtime question and the progress question at the same time. The 30m runtime is especially useful here because episode search intent is often much more time-sensitive than general series search intent.
