It's Will's birthday, and he's planning a suitably grown-up dinner, with a few close friends, and any girls they can persuade to come. Unfortunately, Will's party clashes with a far more popular one, and his friends have to choose between them. They end up breaking into the rival party, where Simon's French 'greasy' exchange student Patrice proves that even he is more popular than them.
