It is Elizabeth Jones’ (Rebecca Williams) 17th birthday. She is planning her party with her mother Marie (Jane Kaczmarek) and cousin Kelly (Carliegh Beverly) when LeAnn (Kim Dickens), Marie’s sister and Kelly’s mother, arrives late because of work. Elizabeth’s boyfriend Mark Stenwyck (Nick Thurston), who is also 17, shows up, despite Marie’s rule for the party to be limited to family. LeAnn admits it was her fault for being late, and Elizabeth leaves with Mark to see a movie. Kelly goes home to study for a test with her friends. After some leave Kelly’s house, Austin stays behind, confessed he was starting to fall for Kelly, and kissed her. When LeAnn arrives home from work and catches Kelly performing a sexual act with Austin, she arranges for Kelly to stay at Marie’s home when she is working that weekend. Meanwhile, as Mark and Elizabeth get back to Elizabeth’s house, he wants to get a room the following night but Elizabeth has a scary movie night with her friends Amy and Lainie at Amy’s house.
