Jill Taylor (Patricia Richardson) is excited to attend the gala dinner celebrating her tireless work for the annual Library Fundraiser – but everything goes wrong at the last minute. When her neighbor Joe (Robert Picardo) is unable to secure the beautiful dress he promised to get her on the cheap, Jill has to wear an unflattering dress instead – and when they arrive at the event, she finds that the big picture of her in the lobby is an ugly image from her driver’s license because Tim (Tim Allen) didn’t take her picture to the photo lab until the very last minute.
