Episode Summary

Andy's neighbor and friend Nina (Stephanie Niznik) is ostracized by the townspeople when they discover she is a surrogate mother for a woman in her mid-50s. Andy's clumsy attempt to come to Nina's defense backfires, but she turns to him and Ephram for help when the baby makes an unexpectedly early arrival. Meanwhile, Ephram is dealt an emotional blow when Amy disinvites him to a party in order to gain the approval of her friends; and Delia attempts to befriend the school bully, Magilla (guest star Bret Loehr).moreless

    I really liked how they brought out Amy's character so quickly. She realizes that she's made a mistake in trying to get to know Ephram... for the wrong reasons that is. Her friends get angry when she invites lonely Ephram to a party, and they dis invite him. Amy realizes that Ephram is a guy she really cares about, and decides that she will skip the party too. The two of them, Amy and Ephram, really shone in this episode. I didn't give it a 10, only due to the really bizarre story-line of Nena giving birth to a baby for a 55-year old. Leave that kinda story-line to Ally McBeal and David E. Kelly!moreless

  • Trivia

    ADD TRIVIA
    • Goof: When Walter's Sea Breeze is first sinking, Andy puts his (left) foot on the hole trying to plug it. The Sea Breeze then starts flooding from two more holes (as seen by the fountains of water) and Andy brings both of his feet to cover those holes but at this point there's no water coming in from the first hole. Is the ship sinking or not? Edit
    • Goof: When Ephram enters the Swans' practice room, they are doing Degages. Since they are wearing pointe shoes, they would probably make some noise. However, they are slamming their feet in to the position and 'clunking'. They clunk when they are doing the swan dance, also. A definite dancing mistake. Edit

    • The patient that lent the Sea Breeze to Dr. Brown is named Walter Cunningham. This may be a reference to Walter Cunningham in Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, who pays off a debt by bartering such things as a bag of hickory nuts. Edit
