In the latest episode of season 12 of The Pioneer Woman titled "For Pete's Sake," Ree Drummond is preparing to celebrate her husband Ladd's birthday. The episode starts with Ree checking the ingredients she needs for the birthday party. She needs to make a special dinner for Ladd, with a meal consisting of Filet Mignon with Mushroom Sauce along with a side of Potato Gratin.

Ree starts working on the Filet Mignon dish first. She seasons the steak with coarse salt and pepper and then cooks it in a cast iron skillet. To make the mushroom sauce, Ree uses the same skillet that was used to cook the steak. She cooks the mushrooms with a combination of butter, garlic, and thyme. Once the mushrooms are cooked, she adds heavy cream and the steak juices from the skillet. She then simmers it until it becomes a creamy sauce.

Next, Ree moves on to preparing the Potato Gratin, which is a creamy potato casserole. She starts off by slicing the potatoes with a mandoline slicer. Ree then adds cream, butter, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, and grated Gruyere cheese in a saucepan and cooks it until the cheese melts. She layers the sliced potatoes in a baking dish and pours the cheese mixture on top. The dish is then baked in the oven until the top layer turns golden brown.

After completing the dinner meal, Ree starts to work on the cake. Ladd's favorite cake is a chocolate cake, and Ree decides to make it extra special by adding chocolate ganache and fresh raspberries on top. Ree, who enjoys baking, finds solace in the process of making the cake and prepares it with love and care.

As Ladd arrives home, Ree greets him with a smile and surprise. Ladd is shocked at the beautiful dinner table and the delicious meal Ree has created. He is amazed by the Filet Mignon dish and the creamy Potato Gratin. For dessert, Ree brings out the chocolate raspberry cake, and Ladd's face lights up with excitement as he takes a bite of the moist and flavor-packed cake.
