If you thought the Channing family drama couldn’t get any more complicated, think again. This week, Caroline’s grandmother, Astrid (played by the legendary Judith Roberts), finally wakes up from her coma. The catch? She has absolutely no idea that her son’s massive Ponzi scheme ruined their reputation and drained every cent of the family fortune.

Rather than breaking the news that her granddaughter is now a Brooklyn waitress who lives with a horse, Caroline decides to preserve the fantasy. With the help of Max and the diner gang, she scrambles to throw Astrid one last lavish "coming out" party—the high-society way.

Caroline recruits her diner coworkers to act as professional help for the party.
