- Lucy and Kevin see a new doctor for their pregnancy and they have different opinions of her. Ruthie becomes interested in Martin's friend and starts wearing makeup and acting older.

- Lucy and Kevin go to an obstetrics appointment, and find that a female doctor, Dr. Pearson, is standing in for their regular doctor. Lucy loves her and wants to use her for the delivery, but her high-and-mighty manner (delivered in a British accent, no less) rubs Kevin the wrong way. Meanwhile, Ben finds Dr. Pearson intriguing enough to ask her out for fish-and-chips, while trying to smooth things over by explaining that Kevin is nervous about fatherhood because they lost their father early. Charlie Bates, whom Eric had convinced to take responsibility for his child born out of wedlock, comes back to the Reverend complaining about how exhausting the new baby is. Rev. Camden convinces Charlie to return later, when Wilson tells Charlie his story of the hardships yet joys of fatherhood, convincing Charlie to give it another try. Rev. Camden spends quality time with the twins and sets up the family barbecue. Meanwhile, Ruthie, having broken up with her boyfriend, is ready to move on to bigger things, as she primps for a pizza outing with Martin and his friend Matt. They have a great time until some older girls come by and ask if Ruthie is Matt's little sister and he says "No, but she's LIKE a little sister." Embarrassed and annoyed, Ruthie goes home and Reverend Camden asks her what's wrong. She says she wanted to be seen as older and more important, which would have happened if Matt had asked her out. Her father says he didn't know she had such skill in the makeup department, but she's pretty with or without makeup and he loves her just as she is, and she says, she knows, but she wants a boy to love her too. Her father says, "I know," and comforts her. Lucy and her mother discuss the doctor situation, and Annie convinces her that she should keep the same doctor for the delivery who already knows them best. Lucy and Kevin make up.
