Most of the story of this episode is based around the Cotillion, the annual debutante ball where Newport's most accomplished young women make their debut into 'society'. The episode begins with the Cohens announcing to Ryan that they have taken guardianship of him and that he will now be part of their family. As a 'welcome to the family' gift, they buy him a tuxedo for Cotillion. And wouldn't you know, Summer comes around and decides Ryan will be her date to Cotillion. This, just a week after she called him a trash nobody. At the ball, Jimmy is confronted by Greg Fischer, who really, really wants his money. Jimmy confesses that he has lost all of the money. Greg freaks out and punches Jimmy, knocking him to the floor.
In this episode Newport finds out about the actions of Jimmy Cooper, Ryand and Marissa try being friends and Seth starts liking the new girl in town.
