Christine and the meanie moms are escorting the students on a field trip to the planetarium when Marley and Lindsay's water breaks.

The meanie moms are quite demanding, and Christine gets overwhelmed helping them so she calls Matthew. Matthew is tuxedo shopping with Richard, so he brings him to the hospital. Matthew can't handle them either, so Richard offers. Christine points out how useless he was when she was in labor, but he remembers things differently.
