On the night of the dance, the mothers try to hold firm on their decision, despite the girls' best efforts to derail their punishments, while the fathers make the situation worse.

In an effort to reconnect with the girls, Annie reinstates an old tradition of "Family Night," even though the adults are all now divorced.
