S2E4 The Big Birth-quake Episode

Mona informs her family and friends that she prefers to spend her birthday in solitude and contemplation, but soon finds herself feeling incredibly bored. Just when she needs a distraction, Big Dee Dee arrives, albeit forgetting it’s Mona’s special day and only there for her own reasons. They venture to the laundry room searching for Big Dee Dee’s dog, only to be caught in an earthquake. While enjoying a picnic, they open up about their friendship. Meanwhile, Phyllis seeks out Charles to persuade him to assist in buying a birthday car for Mona, but they end up trapped in an elevator. Dee Dee, Adam, and Spencer also find themselves stuck in a posh store while shopping for a gift, leading to Spencer's panic attack following the quake.
