While there's some cute farce with Gidget juggling three dates for the same dance, including Moondoggie, the situation is so obviously set up for disaster that it's a wonder that Russ doesn't step in and prevent it.  This time Bonnie Franklin plays Jean, the host of a party where the parents appear to be entirely absent.  (Or maybe discreetly upstairs.)  Note that the 14th is on a Saturday, which doesn't really work for the '65-66 school year, as it would have to be August '65 or May '66.  And Jeff has been gone "a couple months."
