As they attend the party, they both quickly realize how awkward and uncomfortable it is to be in the middle of a teenage party.

Meanwhile, Maeve is helping a student who is having trouble with a bully. The student, Viv, has been targeted because of her weight and Maeve tries to help her by giving her advice and support.
