Alex is frustrated with her job at a music PR firm. After spending so much money and time on her education, she’s not sure that it’s paying off. To make matters worse, a colleague of Alex’s continually moves ahead and makes it look effortless. When Alex zeroes in on a band she wants to sign, she won’t let anything get in her way. Not her co-worker (Nick Lachey), not her lack of experience, not her fear of karaoke. Alex’s perspective gets turned around when her co-worker is the one who helps her reach her goal.

While Lizzie is preparing to be a bridesmaid yet again, her feelings about wanting to settle down and get married come into focus. Alex and Diane try to make her realize that she shouldn’t feel any pressure to find a husband, but it takes throwing her a “wedding” party in order for Lizzie to see that she has plenty of time to find a husband – and that right now her friends are all she needs.

When Alex’s mom, Nadine, comes for a visit, Alex expresses her anxiety about her mother’s tendency to treat her like she’s still fifteen. She prepares herself for a weekend of smothering, but when Nadine arrives, Alex realizes her mom is actually independent and relaxed and busy. This new version of her mother throws Alex for a loop and their roles are reversed. With a little help from her friends, Alex realizes that everybody should be allowed to change. Even mothers.

Lizzie’s never been happy with the way she looks. Having tried everything from a new hair color to rock climbing, she’s now landed on yoga as the answer. She thinks it’s gonna give her the body she’s always wanted. Instead, she just gets tied up in knots. With Alex’s help Lizzie comes to understand that what has to change isn’t her actual body, but only the image she has of it in her head.

Diane’s terrible at first dates. Especially blind ones. So when she’s set up with her boss’ nephew, Alex and Lizzie come to her rescue to make sure that she brings the best version of herself (preferably the one without a big piece of spinach in her teeth) to the candlelit table for two. Diane gets a fresh perspective on dating – and learns that once you take the pressure off, dating can just be about having fun!
