Katie borrows a sympathy belly from Angela to appear pregnant, allowing her to get out of fulfilling her remaining parent volunteer hours at the school. Anna-Kat rebels against being Katie's favorite, after she learns how much it annoys Taylor and Oliver. Greg and Katie discover that Taylor has two Instagram accounts: one that her parents can see, and a second on which she posts racier photos of herself.

Anna-Kat: I tried to help you but I’m not her favorite anymore. (Sticks her tongue out at Taylor)

Taylor: shut up or I will lock you in the basement.

Anna-Kat: not the basement.

Katie: Taylor don’t say that you know she’s afraid of the basement.

Taylor: duh thats what I’m saying it.

Katie: how many times do I have to tell you don’t duh me.

Taylor: that’s it. If I don’t get my phone back, I’ll just cry all night.

Katie: hey, I don’t want you to cry, I just want you to be happy. (Sighs) listen, you can have it back tomorrow but for yelling at me, you’re not getting it back.

Anna-Kat: Taylor listen, when I was 7, my electronics were token away because I was annoying you and Oliver. Life is not always about you. It’s about everybody. You, me, Mom, Dad and Oliver. I think you’re a little harsh with Mom. Right?

Taylor: (sighs) yeah.

Anna-Kat: I need you to apologize to Mom.

Taylor: I’m sorry.
