Her best friend and coworker, Marilyn, wishes she would open up more and maybe finally go on a date?especially with the sexy new client who's obviously keen?but maybe Marilyn shouldn't be handing out dating advice given her own problems. Ava, meanwhile, is getting tired of her overprotective mother. She wants to live like a normal teenager?chill with friends, go to swim practice, study for exams, have a boyfriend.
