Penny Cavener is the next on the list to host the dinner party. She realizes that she has a tough act to follow in Maddy's engagement last night, but she is determined to make everyone forget about Maddy's ring. Her French menu consists of mojtos as the welcome drink, pear and candied pecan salad with gruyère gougères as the appetizer, beef bourguignon as the main course, and crème brûlée for dessert. She is determined to make everything from scratch, including her French bread, and use only the best ingredients. She wants her party to reek of sophistication, which everyone understands reading the menu and knowing Penny. Her "perfect" food takes a hit with a minor disaster in the kitchen, the result which she hopes to pass off as the way it's supposed to be without the commoners knowing the difference. Her guests do whatever they can to kibosh the sophistication. Her entertainment ends up with a mixed result, based largely between the believers and the non-believers.
