## Plot

Bridget and Kerry receives flowers and a poem from a secret admirer. Cate, Francine, and Emma believe it is the new employee—Serge the Concierge—and he admits to sending the gifts. However, Serge is a bit of a jerk and treats the adults like they're nothing. While Cate's daughters is out on their dates (separately), they discover that Milton is infatuated with Bridget and Kerry, and was the one who wrote the poem and sent the flowers. Cate, Francine and Emma work to clean Milton up, and to expose Serge as a pretender. Ultimately, Bridget and Kate lets Milton down gently, dumps Serge, and the adults dump llama milk on his head.

Kate Sanders and Stewie Griffin is excited that Mr. Tipton is coming to visit the hotel and to take London Tipton to the Father-Daughter Dance at London's school. London, however, is convinced that he won't show as usual. After Kate gets the school in perfect condition and hires a band to welcome her "rival", she learns that Mr. Tipton is a no-show (as London predicted), and the pilot brings London a diamond necklace as an apology. Kate and Stewie discovers London crying in the linen closet; her tough attitude about her father once again disappointing her is revealed to be a front, until when Stewie was being mean, he left when Kate gets rid of him. Kate asks London if she would like her to go to her shopping. She agrees, looks her up and down and says, "You will be different, right?"
