Plot summary

Jessica is collecting praise quotes from various people to put on her book jacket and is particularly eager to receive a quote from Stephen King. When King writes back to say he does not give recommendations to any authors, Jessica is convinced the letter came from one of King's publicists and goes on a road trip to Maine with an unsuspecting Honey in tow. At school, Eddie and his friends (including Alison and Nicole) are excited to go to the spring dance all wearing orange and blue tuxedos like the main characters in Dumb and Dumber. When the school sends out a notice that boys must wear suits and girls must wear dresses, initiated by Ned as payback, Eddie and Nicole decide to rebel and defy the order. Meanwhile, Louis becomes concerned when Grandma wants to leave the house and move to a retirement community.
