Lois is flushed with pride after receiving a letter from her daughter's school, telling her that she has been invited to speak at Amy's class on Career Day, but the next morning during breakfast at home, Lois finds out the real reason for the invitation: Amy told a fib in her class essay in which she stated that Lois was a vice president of a local bank!  Upset about the news, Lois thinks that Amy is ashamed of her because she works as a waitress, which Amy admits to.  However, when Career Day arrives, Lois gives a wonderful speech at Amy's class, with Jan, Cassie, Vicky and Dot in tow for moral support, which causes Amy to realize how wrong she was for telling that fib so that she wouldn't be embarrassed at having a mother who serves food to people for a living.

Tension arises at work between Lois and Jan, as a pornographic magazine is found in Ellen's (Jan's daughter) overnight bag after she stayed over at Lois' house the night before.  Meanwhile, a lady at a table next to Sonny finds him attractive and begins a relationship with him, but Sonny gets jealous when his new girlfriend shows up one night at Above The Top with another man, despite the fact that Sonny and the girl agreed to have an open relationship.

Following a management evaluation of the staff at Above The Top after dinner serve one night, Nancy informs the girls and Sonny that she is being let go by management for undisclosed reasons, which shocks everyone of the staff.  She also tells the waitresses and Sonny that Lois is to be the new hostess at Above The Top from now on.  The next evening, Lois is having a hard time as hostess, as reservations get mixed up and frustrated customers leave the restaurant after waiting more than an hour.  The next day, Lois informs the girls that she found out that Nancy got fired because of her age and that she wants Jan, Dot, Vicky and Cassie to join her as a united front to see Nancy and tell her that she must fight Mr. Steadman, the head of management, to get her hostess job back at Above The Top.  After leaving the restaurant, the girls arrive at a greasy diner called Marz, where they find Nancy working there as a waitress.  Lois and the girls try to convince Nancy to come back to Above The Top and get her old job back, but to no avail.  Later that evening, during dinner serve, Nancy arrives at Above The Top, disheveled and dirty in her waitress uniform, where she confronts Steadman (who just had a talk with Lois over the hostessing situation) and tells him that if he doesn't get her job back, she will sue management for age discrimination.  Seeing that he has no other alternative, Steadman immediately rehires Nancy as hostess of the restaurant.
