Not really... Both have boyfriends (who observe a "dating anniversary" milestone), and both arrange 'something special' to enhance their relationship (presuming that both arrangements are to the liking of the respective girls, as they seem to be). But one of the girls gets a markedly more major 'something special' than the other (again, depends upon relative feelings). What more is there to that?
