When Murphy decides that she needs a Lamaze partner, all of the men of FYI become candidates but she eventually settles on Elden. Judyann Elder returns as Murphy's obstetrician, hysterically frustrated by Murphy's desire to schedule a C-section, and soft voiced Mary Gross hysterical as the Lamaze class instructor whom Murphy nearly drives crazy with her nuttiness. While the other classmates are initially impressed about Murphy joining their class, eventually she becomes a major distraction by her aggressive behavior in class. Gross gets a hysterical scene, finally having had it with Murphy's behavior, and going off on a tangent that really is laugh out loud funny. There are also funny moments as the various men react to Murphy's request that they be her partner. It's obvious that Murphy is also aggravated by the overly sweet atmosphere of the class, going off on fathers to be in terminating ways that would make Julia Sugarbaker blush. A very funny episode that is building up to a turn in the series and of course a reaction to a real life politician's commentary on the fictional Murphy.

Murphy could drive the baby birthing business out of business.
