When Kate meets Eric at the gym, it's lust at first sight. With Michael working late at the shoe store, Kate spends most of her free time with Eric, who thinks her name Allison. When Michael catches her, she has some explaining to do.

Allison believes she's found true love with Steven only to find that he is not as devoted to her as he seems.

Kate and Allison try to set Dad up with a friend from Chicago only to find out Dad and Beth are more than just friends.

The girls make their move to New York City, settling in with their Aunt Margo and setting out toward their respective ambitions (Kate as an entertainer, Allison as a fashion designer).

Kate becomes assistant to Rollo the Great, a magician whose next big trick is to make Kate appear in two places at once.
