Bette is a wildly successful singer with numerous hits, adoring fans, and showbiz friends who often drop by. Keeping her grounded is her professor husband Roy, best friend Connie, and her thirteen-year-old daughter Rose.

 

"The Invisible Mom"

While volunteering at Rose's school, Bette attempts to match her daughter with an eager young student (Samm Levine), avoid the principal (Christian Clemenson), who has written a screenplay for her, and finally learns why fellow volunteer Olivia Newton-John has been holding a grudge against her since the 1970s. Meanwhile Connie spends the day doling out advice in the girls bathroom and reliving her anguished youth.
