Reagan's inability to fire a less-than-stellar assistant, Nancy, leads Ava to question whether she has lost her edge. Meanwhile, Reagan and Chris hope to find a babysitter that will give him some much-needed parental relief.

A moment of weakness with his uncomfortably enthusiastic neighbors leads Chris to agree to host a joint first birthday party for Amy, and Reagan to accuse him of being a pushover. Ava takes it upon herself to take the birthday party to the next level, while Nancy sees this as an opportunity to look for a man.
