Anna-Kat isn't invited to a birthday party despite Katie (reluctantly) doing her best to impress the other Westport moms by trying to fit in. Meanwhile, Greg tries to convince Taylor that her athletic ability isn't everything, and Oliver complains about the poor quality of a polo shirt Katie got from an outlet mall.
The first appearance of one of Katie's most enduring rivals, "Stupid, Stupid" Tara Summers.
Tropes:
- Comical Overreacting: Oliver's reaction to a minor, almost imperceptible defect on the logo of the polo shirt his mom bought him is as follows:
Oliver: Honestly, without any drama, for real: this is the worst thing that's ever happened to anyone.
- Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Tara Summers, or as Katie generally calls her, "Stupid, stupid Tara".
- Sound-Effect Bleep: Katie.
Katie: I brought you the *bleep* shirt so you're going to wear it!
