Sarah is trying to get ready for the party and Paige is yelling at her that she doesn't like either of the dresses she bought for her. She gets even more pissed when Sarah tells her she returned the slutty dress, telling her that she hates her because she's never around and when she is, she ruins everything. Sarah looks stricken for a second and tries to recover, but then Paige starts going off on how she doesn't want to dress like Sarah because she's old and ugly and then she gets downright awful and says, "No wonder dad left." Sarah does a good job of holding it together, but I'm getting more and more frustrated with this plotline. Paige's voice was so high-pitched and whiny, she sounded ridiculous saying the things she was saying. The last thing I want to do is watch her being a brat. Kids are annoying enough on these types of shows, without making them downright intolerable and unlikable.
Greenatopia Party! Nora approaches Kyle to ask some questions about building green. He's all, "OMG, let me get you some literature." The party seems hopping, though I'm wondering why Julia and Scotty aren't there. These Walkers aren't being very good with the support lately.
Chug, chug, chug!
Some Lodge / Steakhouse / Cigar Club. Robert is telling Kevin to apologize to the Republicans or he'll take him out back and shoot him. That's two threats in two weeks, just in case you're keeping count. Kevin fully goes, "Robert, they're asshats." Hee. Robert doesn't care how they made Kevin feel and tells him to act like a professional and not an insecure teenager. But you know, you could turn that right around and say the Republicans weren't acting very professional with their bullying and being sore losers. So, whatever, Senator. Kevin is not happy, which means I'm not happy.
Kyle is still talking Nora's ear off, when Sarah comes up to bitch at Nora for essentially turning her daughter against her. They then spin this situation to be all about them and their issues with sex, which is kind of a reach and rather clunky, but OK. Sarah continues to freak about Paige's Sex Party, mentioning the possibility of Spin-the-Bottle and I'm still at a loss as to why Sarah even allowed her to go in the first place. It's clearly not a school dance and what kind of parents let their ten-year-olds have a "dance party" anyway? I'm done with this storyline. Anyway, both of them get very defensive about their lack of sex lives, thankfully Rodger shows up (who ever thought I'd say that?) and interrupts them.
Sarah then has a pretty funny conversation with Rebecca about how she booked the honeymoon suite for their Anniversary. Sarah: "It's your anniversary?" Rebecca: "It's like our eight month ... four day ... two hour anniversary." Ethan runs up and says the investor is there. Sarah looks like she's going to be sick.
The Investor seems to like their idea and is starting to talk about the great potential when Sarah totally has a case of word vomit and starts unnecessarily reassuring him about how she's hip and down with the tech stuff. She's ignored her daughter, has no personal life, and has been living in a Greenatopia Black Hole. The Investor finally shuts her up and says that he's in, so she can just calm the fuck down. The three of them collectively freak out and scream and group hug. Aw. There should be more groups hugs on this show.
OMG!YAY!
Nora and Rodger are getting down, like they would have any idea how to dance to the music that's playing. Sally Field, I must say, is an adorable drunk. She almost falls over and of course, Rodger is wonderful and a gentleman, despite his behavior in the past two episodes. He twirls her, and alright, it's cute. They go find a place to sit her drunk ass down.
