In an effort to get Anna-Kat invited to a popular girl's birthday party, Katie dresses up like other Westport moms and spends time at the yoga studio.
When Oliver reveals that he's so embarrassed by his parent's modest house that he'd rather not have a birthday party at all, Katie decides to teach him a lesson by throwing him a surprise party at home with all of his wealthy friends.
Katie teams up with Oliver to bribe rich Westport families to donate big-ticket items for the spring gala; Greg takes Taylor and Anna-Kat to a Revolutionary War re-enactment.
Katie's efforts to get more time for herself backfire; Oliver proves to Katie that his passion for ballet is genuine; Taylor and Greg disagree over whether or not she needs to go to college.
Although Katie receives a lot of pressure about the spring gala, she insists on doing it her own way; Greg throws a barbecue.
