Meanwhile, LaCienega's parents tell her that they are going out of town on the day of her birthday and won't be able to celebrate with her. LaCienega is disappointed, but she doesn't want to ruin her friends' plans for her party.

On the day of the party, the girls arrive at the restaurant with their masks and dressed in their best clothes.
