Bobbie Jo, who is babysitting for the Elliotts while Betty Jo is out shopping and Steve is at home doing some paperwork, believes that Steve is ignoring Betty Jo, to who he hasn't said "I love you" in quite some time. In an effort to make it up to her, Steve professes his love to her. Betty Jo, in turn preoccupied with her chores, doesn't pay too much attention to Steve's professing his love. When Betty Jo learns from Bobbie Jo why Steve said what he did, Betty Jo feels that she has to make it up to him. But now with Steve preoccupied, Betty Jo really does feel like she's being ignored when she tries to profess her love for him. Despite Bobbie Jo's meddling getting them into the predicament they're currently in, Steve follows one last piece of advice from Bobbie Jo based on advice from worldly Lisa Douglas to Betty Jo earlier in the day.
