Katie is forced to confront both her own fears and her daughter's when Anna-Kat becomes hydrophobic after reading about a terrible flood. But she's uncomfortable getting into a bathing suit and swimming in the public pool with the eyes of all the Westport moms staring at her. Meanwhile, Taylor is accosted by Doris, eager to unload her daughter Marigold on her, and Oliver attempts to help Greg get a better rating on a "rate my Professor" website.
Tropes:
- Absurd Phobia: This week it's Anna-Kat's sudden and crippling fear of water (hydrophobia).
- A Day in the Limelight: We see more of Doris than usual, and get our first (and only) look at her as a parent first-hand.
- Weight Woe: Although Katie is usually defiant about her overweight appearance, she can't help but be uncomfortable in a bathing suit at a public pool with so many onlookers.
