Aliens in America: Wake at the Lake (Episode 17)

"I got it at Williams-Sonoma."

Franny is on the spot when Claire finds an, um, "potato masher", in her closet. Though Franny could do the mature thing and tell Claire what she already knows it to be, she instead insists that it's a potato masher. Claire runs with it and has Franny make mashed potatoes with it. Things come to a head when Claire, determined to get her mother to spill, buys the same for elderly Mrs. Lockard, who's retiring from a long career of giving A's to girls just because they're too pretty to say no to. The Tolchuck (yes, I'm only just spelling this correctly now) women have a change of heart but are too late to get the gift back from Mrs. Locard, who seems willing to believe it's a potato masher just like they said it was.

Funeral Wars

As the president of S.A.D.D. (Students Against Destructive Decisions), Raja makes the mistake of picking Justin for the mock drunk driving accident scene, breaking a years-long tradition of picking a popular kid who will draw people to the site. When Justin is given the opportunity to compromise with jock Dan, creating a joint tableau, Justin refuses. The outcasts at their school deserve their anti-hero. Too bad too many of them are too stoned or just burnt out to come. Everybody else goes to the site that Dan sets up to compete with Justin's. Before Justin can get too upset about the low attendance at his funeral, a mother grieving for her own dead son reminds him that it's all about the message. So he, Raja, and that other kid whose name I cannot remember but always wears a long trench coat and/or camoflage go to Dan's "Wake at the Lake" where the girls in need of sober desginated drivers. Especially those drivers like Justin who drive oversized purple Cadillac convertibles.
