------------------------------------
It is a double due for Samantha Baker (Molly Ringwald). It is her birthday and the school dance. Tomorrow her sister is getting married. So grandparents are converging with their grandparent quirks.
Turns out that Samantha likes Jake, who is going with Caroline. Meantime back at the dance, other agendas arise with the geeks challenging Farmer Ted (a young Anthony Michael Hall) to do it with Samantha or fork over several floppies. We see parties and their aftermath. In the end, can Farmer Ted place all the people where they belong? In the meantime, he turns to the camera and says, "This is getting good."
