Storyline

Getting invited to one of Melinda's parties is a big deal, and when Shelly gets invited, she strives to get a date. When Shelley grows desperate, she seeks the help of her brother (more like blackmailing him). As Parker helps Shelley by using Jerry as her training date, Jerry starts to find interest in her. Larry Kubiac also tries getting into the party, but he wasn't invited. Come party time, Shelly finds that maybe the date of her dreams isn't all that it's cracked up to be.

Be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it

Shelley is constantly learning lessons and in this episode she finds that getting a date with the perfect guy isn't always a good thing. Parker doesn't normally go out of his way to help out his sister, but when she blackmails him Parker is at her mercy. Parker helps Shelley out by first giving her help in being a lady via Jerry Steiner as her training date. With a lot of High School stories the outcome is the same. The geek Jerry turns out to be a better date than the football player Brad (obviously), but Shelley keeps a cool head and turns a new leaf. The story is good as it's evolving and sets up the later episodes where Jerry finds interest in Shelley. The humor in the episode is a plus too with Kubiac's rues to get into the big party.
