The PTA budget for the next semester at Westport Unified is cutting the special-needs budget to pay for lights in the parking lot, which means that Dr. Ellie won't be working there. Katie and Greg have to go to the PTA to fight for Dr. Ellie, and an opportunity to make their voice heard avails itself when a seat opens up on the board. Meanwhile, Taylor and Oliver watch a scary movie and have to deal with the consequences.
Tropes:
- Embarrassing Middle Name: Oliver's is said in this episode to be "Duke", the name of his mother's alma mater.
- Fandom Rivalry: In-Universe. Katie fails to win over one of the PTA board members because he is an alum of UNC and she is an alum of its arch-rival Duke University.
- Show Within a Show: The fictional horror movie, Death Coat, that Taylor and Oliver watch.
- Stylistic Suck: Death Coat isn't winning any Saturn awards.
