Food Slap: While the family is staying with relatives, Starr helps Uncle Pete and Aunt Nell bake an anniversary cake for her parents. Instead of thanking her, Mom tells Pete and Nell off for "making" her work for them, tells Starr "Enough about your stupid cake," and lectures her about how cake gives you cavities. Starr throws a large portion of the cake at Mom, who receives little sympathy from the family, since she'd lashed out at so many people that evening.
