on Teddy. She heard that he and Silver broke up. He advises her she came on way too soon, and walks away.Naomi, Annie and Silver watch Mr. Cannon interacting with a young blond.

Debbie confronts Annie about the syringes. Annie can't get a word in edgewise. When she finally manages to fill Debbie in on Katherine, the eggs and the hormone stimulation injections, Debbie says she absolutely can't do this. Annie reminds her that since she's 18, it's not her call. They argue their way to the point that Annie wants to see the one ad for a housewife with no college, no experience and no skills.

tonight, and he says yes. She tells him she's staying at the Villas on Sunset, and asks if he wants to meet her there.

Jen's water breaks, and Debbie says she'll drive her to the hospital.
Ian and Teddy are cleaning the gutters from the roof, by hand. Ian goes on and on about how gutters are like people, ticking time bombs full of crap that nobody can see from where they stand.

She also blames herself for money being tight, because of her legal costs, and the strain she put on her parents' marriage. Debbie tells her she didn't.
Jen tries to fire the nurse for not changing her baby's diaper. She asks Debbie to do it, and she makes Jen say
please. She also agrees to accept the job offer if the pay is doubled. Jen accepts, reluctantly. Debbie also says anything over 40 hours gets her overtime, and she'll need health benefits. Jen agrees to everything.

He tells Liam he's done with him.Teddy and Ian finish fixing the gutter and get back to the ground at the same time as the principal comes around the corner. She gives them their freedom.
