Wade's newfound romantically-committed happiness with Vivian Wilkes is threatened by his reemerging oblivious father Crazy Earl, who prefers Zoe. Joel got Zoe to wave her objections to risk letting him organize another of her cursed birthday parties, only to change her mind when her meddling mother invites herself to a private dinner and a visit to their future home during renovation instead, but he decides against calling off what proved the only medicine for their dumped host Lavon's gloom. It's also an occasion for failing Belles leader Crickett to lure Annabeth back. Alerted by new PA Tom, George duly mistrusts his rival .Scooter's green conversion as a ploy to revert being dumped by Tansy, who is impressed.
