ADD TRIVIA
The opening titles break from the normal ones from this and last season. In the final shot, when the family heads for the house, Maggie remains and tells the others that it's time for her birth, the only time they ever talked in the titles. They help her into the house and the scene after the commercial bump segues directly from this.
