## Plot

Ginny narrates how her mother has never struggled with men and that she’s unapologetically fearless. She sarcastically wonders if she’s adopted. Later on, Ginny begins to feel insecure as Padma has now joined Hunter’s band, and all the boys call her hot. She’s also mad that she can’t get a moment alone with him.

Elsewhere in town, Paul leads a fundraiser meeting and discusses an annual bake sale. Georgia stands up and suggests they do a casino night, but Cynthia disagrees. Surprisingly, Paul takes Cynthia’s side as it’s a highlight of the year at Wellsbury. As a result, Georgia finds herself competing with Cynthia. At the office, Paul raises a concern in front of an HR officer; he raises a credit card under Austin’s name. Georgia puts on the waterworks and claims that Austin’s father, who is in jail, put out loads of credit cards under his son’s name.

The meeting is abruptly stopped due to “personal matters”. Paul apologizes due to the pressure of his political career. Georgia laps it up and brings up casino night again. When Cynthia walks in, Paul tells her that they will be doing the casino night instead.

Georgia returns home and finds her garden ruined, then Ellen appears from a run, telling her its Cottontails (Rabbit Season), Ellen tells Georgia about a mysterious man in the neighborhood, Georgia ask her if he was tall, black, muscular .

Meanwhile, Ginny and her friends watch pornn together and talk about sex. She becomes frustrated that Hunter hasn’t done anything to her. Marcus listens in and hears Ginny say, “men prioritize their own pleasure and do not know what they are doing”. When Ginny gets home, she poses on her bed with her top off, and her mother, Georgia, walks in. She sends the photo to Maxine first, and she approves before sending it to Hunter, who begins to type, and then he stops. Feeling underappreciated, she looks across the road and looks at Marcus, who immediately texts her. She sends the picture to Marcus, who calls her sexy. He asks for more pics. He then asks her if she finished herself by masturbating after they had sex. Ginny tells him she’s never had an orgasm; Marcus tells her to “touch herself” while he does the same. Ginny pretends to finish.

Ginny then becomes curious and uses her electric toothbrush to pleasure herself. The next morning, she gets a text from Hunter saying he’s sorry, but he was really busy with homework and ended up falling asleep.

In class, Ginny talks about Lydia Bennet and her actions, and she asks whether she was shamed and gets angry when a few male students suggest she was a slut and misbehaved. In the middle of class, Georgia arrives at school and takes Ginny away to the clinic to put her on the pill. Ginny asks her mother how she knows what to do with men. Georgia explains how she has children with two different guys, so she isn’t by any means perfect. She calls her daughter beautiful.

In the end, Georgia successfully organizes the casino night, and Paul is impressed. She’s worried about how much they are making and wants to ensure they make more than the bake sale to spite Cynthia. Joe shows up, and Georgia kicks into action and auctions a meal at his farm, plus horse riding lessons. Georgia then auctions “Principal for the Day”, where one kid will lead the school temporarily for a single school day; she manages to sell it for $10,000. To end the auction, Georgia auctions Cynthia’s cheesecake and bids $100 as a verbal slap in the face to her nemesis.

Paul is resoundingly impressed with Georgia and her performance overall. Ellen then tells her a man is here who is interested in her house, which irks her. She feels like she is being followed.

Ginny and friends attend Battle of the Bands, where Hunter will be performing. During the night, Sophie likes one of Maxine’s photos from 2016 on Instagram as she’s doing it in return for Maxine liking one of her older photos. Before Hunter goes on stage, Ginny tells Hunter that she feels he doesn’t like her. Hunter gets on stage and dedicates a song to Ginny. Marcus looks on, and he looks insanely jealous as Ginny looks happy and overwhelmed by the performance.

Afterward, Hunter tells Ginny that he didn’t respond to the photo because he respects her. Ginny tells Hunter that she wants him to think she’s hot.

When Georgia returns home, she introduces herself to Hunter. When Georgia goes upstairs, she lifts her dress to reveal the money she stole from the casino night. She then rings Paul and tells him that she likes him. Paul asks Georgia if she’d like to go to dinner with him.

As Ginny lays on Hunter, she gets a text from Marcus; leaving quite troubled and conflicted.
