PHOEBE: You couldn't even hack the idea of me being pregnant, let alone birth or a baby.
TODD: I was confused. I mean I'm here now.
PHOEBE: It doesn't matter because I've already decided what I'm going to do. So you can get on with your life without me dragging you down.
TODD: That's not what I want.

Dorothy tells them to calm down. She tells them babies are needy and what they need most are parents. Todd thinks they should both decide what to do and consider their options.

PHOEBE: I am not getting rid of it.
TODD: I didn't say that!
PHOEBE: You thought of it though!
TODD: Oh, give me a break, Phoebe, I'm on your side. I only want what's best.
PHOEBE: Yeah what's best for you and a baby would just cramp your style!
TODD: I have no idea how it would affect me and neither have you.
PHOEBE: Why don't you just shut up! I'm giving you the chance to walk away scot free so stop hassling me.
TODD: Hassling?! I care, what is wrong with that?

Dorothy rushes in to stop the argument as Phoebe runs to her room. Dorothy tells Todd to wait outside and let her talk to Phoebe.

Helen is painting, while Lucy complains about Cameron being a hypocrite. One minute he wants her then the next minute he drops her like a hot potato. Helen says he isn't the only one who's had a change of heart recently, as she was meant to go to the party with Cameron but instead went away with Brad. Helen thinks Cameron has done the honourable thing by stepping aside so she can get together with Brad. She asks if Lucy is still keen on Cameron. Lucy is happy with Brad, though he isn't as romantic as Cameron was. Helen thinks Brad whisking Lucy away in a limo was romantic. Lucy says Brad is funny kind and good looking, but he's only 99% perfect, not 100% like her. Helen laughs.

Dorothy comes out to talk to Todd.

DOROTHY: Phoebe's pretty confused herself, Todd.
TODD: Not from what I saw, she seems to know exactly what she wants.
DOROTHY: It appears that way, yes, but she's on very shaky ground, and needs a great deal of understanding. As do you, I'm sure.
TODD: I want to look after her...but she just keeps pushing me away.
DOROTHY: Phoebe has a history of being abandoned. Her father's dead, her mother seems disinterested...she's convinced herself that she has to go it alone in life...to the point where she pushes people to reject her.
TODD: That's crazy.
DOROTHY: Human beings aren't always logical.
TODD: All I know is, I love Phoebe, but she doesn't love me anymore. And it's my baby too.
DOROTHY: Yes, indeed, but you're wrong about Phoebe not loving you, she loves you deeply. And she needs you now more than ever.
TODD: You heard. She said she wants me out of her life.
DOROTHY: It's more that she needs breathing space. You can give her that without disappearing completely. In time, and with counselling, she'll work through these issues. At the moment, she's still in shock about the pregnancy.
TODD: Me, too...I don't want to be left out in the cold while she decides what to do about our baby.
DOROTHY: I can only ask you to have faith in her, in her basic common sense. I'm sure she will begin to involve you in her future. But you do need to wait.
TODD: OK.

LUCY: This would have to be my most unfavourite kitchen chore.
HELEN: Yes mine too, that's why I'm so grateful to you for doing it for me darling.

Brad rushes in to see Lucy.

BRAD: Quick, tell me do you love me or what? Don't think about it, just say the first thing that comes into your head.
LUCY: Of course I love you.
BRAD: Great, you'll go far.

He leads Lucy to the door and opens it to a delivery of balloons and flowers. Brad says he'd die for Lucy as he kneels in front of her. Helen says she told her Brad was romantic. Lucy says it must have cost a fortune for this, Brad says he spent his money from the board he designed on this, and without Lucy to inspire him it wouldn't have happened, so he wanted to spend the money on her. Lucy says he's nuts, as Brad leans in and kisses her. Lucy tells Brad she loves him.
