After a short week off, Ice Loves Coco is back! It's almost as if the lack of a new episode last week meant that Coco had more work to juggle this week, though. Things got kinda crazy for our girl.

Coco was busy enough working on the launch of her indoor dog park with her mother, as the two went over some pretty adorable designs for the interior of Club Spartacus, and even met with Patrick to sign the lease for the property.

Everything seemed to be going great on that front, but it's never as easy as just signing on the dotted line...even if you kiss the pen for good luck.

Sure enough, just as things were getting rolling, Coco got a call from her agent, Drew. He sat her down and dropped some big news on her: Holly Madison is leaving the burlesque "Peepshow" in Las Vegas, and they want Coco to take over the role! 

But there was a catch: her contract would be for six months and she would be living in Vegas, away from Ice, the whole time. "Six months?" cried Coco. "That's like a whole year!"

But when Coco asked Ice about it, he was supportive: "I don't want to be the reason you don't follow your dreams," he said. "I don't want you to say no because of me."

So Coco met with the director and choreographer of the show, Jerry Mitchell, who courted Coco with promises of Vegas stardom and plenty of compliments: "You have the classic burlesque figure," he told her. "You have the va-va-va-voom!"

But Coco, knowing how much they wanted her on board, laid down her demands. "I don't want to do it for six months," she said, and got Jerry to agree to a three-month commitment instead. How could he resist having Coco as his new Bo Peep?

As for Ice and Coco, they're confident that it won't be as bad as Coco thinks. "Coco and I are stuck together like glue, so this is not gonna separate us too far," said Ice. "Just put a lot of miles on the frequent flier."

Tune in next week for another all-new episode of Ice Loves Coco to find out what else Coco adds to her busy schedule! Sunday, December 23 at 10/9c, only on E!
