Plot summary

Christine is thrilled when Britney B (guest star Stefanie Scott ), the most popular girl in school, asks Ritchie to the 7th grade dance. She thinks they've become popular and isn't shy about lording it over the meanie moms. But when Christine learns that she wants to break up with him at the dance, she pays Britney $100 to stay with him, a process that quickly diminishes her popularity. Also, Richard and Matthew must convince a woman (guest star Marion Ross ) to leave her apartment in order for them to move into it, and eventually do so by moving her into Christine's place. Note: Lily Goff and Marissa Blanchard return as the daughters of Marly and Lindsay.
