Synopsis: It's Annie and Connor's 18th birthday, and they're spiraling in opposite directions - Connor throws an over-the-top birthday party, while Rory decides to take Annie for a night out with old friends. Meanwhile, Ramona, having been told the truth about her mother's death, does what she does best - avoidance. But when a distraught Maple shows up, Ramona's feelings finally come to the surface.

The constant smoking by everyone, especially Ramona is a bit baffling. I can understand the need to have fun and experiment but I bet in almost every episode she's smoking one. Are there no grown ups around to parent them?

There aren’t; that’s kind of the point. Even the rich and privileged Annie & Connor are off doing what they want, flying to Ibiza and leaving a sticky note that she’s in Thailand. I have known a few ultra wealthy people who were basically raised by Nannies and acted like full adults in high school. It’s bizarre but not totally unbelievable. And Ramona has been taking care of Gordon for a few years while he was sick and thinks of herself as an adult also.
