After the success of the Spring Gala in the previous season's finale, Katie is hired to work full-time as a party planner, and Nancy Granville is her first client. Oliver falls under the spell of a new motivational speaker, Johnny Diamond, and Katie and Greg ask him to help motivate Taylor. Meanwhile, Anna-Kat's OCD behaviors are on the rise with Katie's absence.
Tropes:
- New Job Episode: Katie begins work as a party planner, thus (temporarily) turning the show's name into an Artifact Title.
- School Play: Taylor auditions for Little Shop of Horrors, making this one of a number of ABC sitcoms from around this time to reference the musical.
- The Sociopath: Doris actually admits it in this episode. (Undiagnosed - she knew how to beat the test.)
- The Voice: Whitney, Katie's new boss (voiced by Kelly Ripa).
