Synopsis: Donatella watch your back, there’s a new Scarlet O’Hara in town! Forget the emerald draperies, Heather (Yasmine Bleeth) wants everyone to sport hot pink disco blouses and gold baguettes to the office (it really would improve the world). The new theme song should have been "Dress You Up." Heather made her figurehead debut reluctantly towing girl Friday Samantha (Lourdes Benedicto) along for the wild ride. Peter (John Barrowman) refuses to take it easy on her, even dragging his feet on the finances. He angered dad Richard (Perry King) so much that even the exalted one Chandler (Casper Van Dien) got a wrist slap for not tattling on little bro. When seduction fails, throw a dinner party to win over the enemies. Gwen’s (Victoria Principal) nephew Ethan Benchley (Kevin Zegers) arrived just in time for the fireworks. Mom’s dead, Dad flew the coop, and Laurie’s (Josie Davis) hiding her jewels, this angry Nick Carter looker can’t catch a break. With Gwen’s serene smile and Michael Kors’ Palm *itch wardrobe, he’ll be reading Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul in no time. Or not. The dinner was a firing squad and left everyone with some stinging shrapnel in their arms. Worst off was Jenny (Liz Bogush) whose alcoholism was made public domain by Laurie. David (Ingo Rademacher) "appears" to be boyfriend of the year material, first he took the blame when Jenny screwed up in business; and then kind of paraphrased Bon Jovi’s "when you get drunk, I’ll be the wine," sentiment, knocking the glass from her wobbly hand. The pair met later in an AA meeting, a comfort to Jenny and recipe for disaster. Speaking of dubious recipes Scott (Jason Winston George) told Chandler to have a no strings fling with Sam even though the girl is obviously total strings attached in love. They made their nest in the tree house, a Swiss family fetish, and were caught in the act by the prying eyes of Heather in all her Maggie the Cat splendor. After the disaster dinner, Heather feigned the vapors and scuttled her hubby off to Seattle. Inspired by "Ten" and "Coyote Ugly," she slicked on her finest gold bikini and oiled up. Chandler briefly claimed "You’re married to my father"- dramatic pause caught in big doe eyes- "I can’t." He could.
