The Mommies

Marilyn accompanies Carol to have her first ultrasound. When Carol dashes off to use the restroom, Marilyn secretly finds out the sex of the baby (which Carol doesn't want to know). This knowledge leads to awkward moments between the two until the make their peace in the end.

When Milo, the school crossing guard, dies after being hit by a car, the mommies give their kids ""the death talk."" Carol & Marilyn take Milo's the hardest, because the kids aren't taking it at all. To show the guard's family they care, Carol & Marilyn make their families attend his funeral. Meanwhile, Danny gets a pet frog, but he learns about death the hard way as it dies in the end.

The mommies feel unappreciated after going out of their way to help their kids and husbands on Halloween. So while they're out Trick-or-Treating, the mommies turn the Larson house into ""The Mommies' House of Horror."" They pull their own pranks on everyone to get evenwith them being unappreciative. Danny - Carol puts him in a desk chair with a thinking cap and makes him sit there until he writes a thank-you note to his grandmother. Blake - Force him to talk to a girl he has a crush on. Casey - Marilyn has Adam do her math homework, and makes her do the corrections, but it's difficult to do since she's dressed as the Golden Gate Bridge. Adam - Marilyn shows him Tiffany kissing a pizza delivery boy. Jack - Marilyn makes him put on his wedding tuxedo (to show that time has taken its toll). Paul - Carol invites her mother to move in with them.

A stray dog wonders in the yard, and the four kids agree to take turns taking care of him, but it's the mommies that end up doing all the work when the kids neglect their duties. To see if the kids would notice, Carol & Marilyn have the dog taken away, but the dog returns to them sick.

Carol & Marilyn are left in charge of the kids school play. After doing research, they decide to change the script a bit to give the girls extra lines, and add events from their own lives in the play. Adam decides to spend dinner eating lobster with Tiffany and her mom. Meanwhile, Paul tries to get Carol to re-create his mother's ""famous"" pie recipe (which his mother refuses to give her). Carol in the end decides to make the pie ""her own way"" by getting a ready-made pie crust with filling in a can, which turns out to be the recipe.
