1Anna-Kat's eighth birthday is approaching and she confronts her parents with the promise they made to her when she was five: that on said birthday she would be allowed to walk two blocks by herself. When she is allowed to do this, word gets out and Katie is branded a neglectful mother by her rival housewives.

3Meanwhile, Greg is increasingly concerned by how close Taylor and her boyfriend Eyo have been getting, and Katie is enraged at Cooper Bradford hanging out around their house and being a terrible influence on Oliver, so he decides to spy on her with Cooper's drone, and she decides to force him to do chores around the house to deter him from coming over.

9* ADayInTheLimelight: After a number of minor appearances, Cooper is much more prominent here and even gets to deliver a ShamingTheMob speech at the episode's climax (which works because nobody wants to cross his uber-rich parents).
10* BirthdayEpisode: Anna-Kat turns 8 years old.
11* EducationMama: Katie is deliberately tough on Cooper because she dislikes how spoiled he is and she wants to get him to stop coming over. What she ''doesn't'' expect is that Cooper thrives under the structure and discipline she has imposed on him that he's been lacking all his life and starts to take to her.
12* GoneHorriblyRight: Katie doesn't expect Cooper to actually ''like'' doing all the chores she forces him to do, but it works out in the end when he speaks up to defend her from all the other Westport housewives.
