"Can I finish your milk?" Jeremiah asks as he, Belly, and Liz sit at the table.

"Here." Belly chuckles

Liz frowns, "Who asks someone that?"

"Mm." Jeremiah hums as he drinks the milk. Belly laughs as Liz rolls her eyes.

Dakota and Conrad come into the kitchen, "Yo, I'm gonna go wash the clams. Did you get the lighter fluid?" Conrad asks Jeremiah

"Mm." Jeremiah says as he puts the bowl down, "Yeah, it's already on the beach."

Conrad whistles as he walks out of the back door. Dakota sits next to Liz and grabs at her food. She smacks his hand as Susannah and Steven walk in.

"Are we done with the portrait yet?" Steven says as he opens the fridge

"Yeah, for today. But you do look good in a dress shirt, Steven." Susannah smiles, "Uh, which makes me think if Belly doesn't hurry up and ask Cam to that ball, you should take her."

Belly instantly frowns, "Ew. No way."

"No, no, no, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm already going with Shayla." Steven says right as Laurel walks in

"To the debutante ball?"

"Yes."

"As an escort?"

"Wrap your head around it, Mom, all right?" He chuckles, "Shayla's coming today with Nicole and Gigi, so you'll meet her."

"That's wonderful." Susannah says, "Oh, and don't forget, Ms. Covington's first dance rehearsal is tomorrow, so, uh, tick-tock."

"I'm asking Cam today." Belly nods

"I don't know my kids anymore." Laurel mutters

"Wait, are you wearing makeup?" Susannah says

"Yeah, she's wearing makeup." Dakota jokes

"Oh, my... She definitely is." Steven says

"Ooh!"

"Mom!" Belly laughs

"So what? We're having a party." She says

"Mm-hmm. I'm sure it has nothing to do with John coming to the clam bake?" Susannah smiles teasingly

"Oh, please. The husbands always come for the Fourth."

"He's not your husband anymore." Belly says as the room goes quiet. The twins eyebrows raise as they look elsewhere.

"Oops. Yeah." She chuckles, "Ex-husband."

"You know, I still don't understand why you invited Dad's girlfriend." Steven says

"Her name is Victoria, and your father wanted us all to meet her. Oh, Belly, I need you to make up the guest bed."

"Wait, Dad and Victoria are staying here?" Laurel nods, "In the room next to mine?" She grimaces
