Tracy compares her own family to an ant colony. The main difference between them is that on the ant colony the ants help each other, while on her family the exact opposite is what happens. Tracy's mom asks her to organize and host the Calloways anniversary party, which makes Tracy freak out because no one will help her out. Meanwhile, she tries unsuccessfully to approach her father about her pregnancy, and only gets a few words from him when she talks to him through baseball language. At the party, Tracy makes a toast thanking her parents and saying that they showed her exactly how to raise her child, and her father surprisingly listened this time.

When her brother breaks the news he's lost all her buffer, Tracy finds herself in a tough situation financially. All the baby stuff are just too expensive and the odds of getting a raise at her job aren't good. Her mother decides then to set her up with Jeff, a guy she dated years ago who now is doing very well on the dog shampoo business. The only thing is Tracy doesn't like the guy, but has second thoughts about him when he proposes to help her raise the child. Charlotte is the one who has to bring her back to the ground and open her eyes to see she can't do that to herself or the child, so Tracy turns down Jeff's offer.
