Robbie is promised a percentage in O'Neill's if he can save the authentic Irish pub from a threatening chain. It starts badly, when a diner goes into labor, word spreads and many pregnant women show up hoping to go into labor too. Jim is finally allowed to test living independently; everyone is confident he'll pass but he worries about fellow patient Meredith, who has nobody at home. He can also resume working part-time at his veterinary practice as long as he has someone to supervise him. His temp refuses, after Jim 'borrowed' a kitten for Meredith. Syd's therapist agrees she has come to terms with dad's condition, but may still need help with her personal life, or the tendency to bury it under her work. Joanie tried to avoid Phil Sutton as she keeps messing up at their meetings, but he cheerfully pushes her along, this time rock-climbing.
