"Monica caters a party for her mother, but the mini-quiches are effectively ruined when one of her false fingernails gets lost in one. Judy then reveals that she expected Monica to mess up so she bought frozen lasagnas as back-up. Monica, upset that her mother has never had faith in her, whips up delicious dishes at the last minute to prove her mother wrong. Judy ultimately gets impressed and the two reconcile."

Does 'effectively' mean 'actually' here?
Can I use 'that her mother has never believed in her' instead of 'that her mother has never had faith in her' without changing the meaning here?
What does 'gets impressed' mean here? Does it mean Judy likes Monica's delicious dishes?
