Adam and Krisitna are at a bar dancing and kissing, she tells him that life is a gift and she wants to spontaneous.

Adam calls Zeek and asks if he can take the kids for the night and Zeek is proud of his son and says he is going to “funky town” which annoys Adam.

Crosby and Jasmine are in the hospital, it is a baby girl for the two. Jasmine says she is so cute and Crosby says that she is so white.

Max heads to the photo studio to see Hank because the camera he gave him broke and he wanted to know if it had a warranty. Max took some pictures and Hank likes them. Hank asks Max how Sarah is, he tells him that she said she is so much better since she broke up with him. Clearly Hank misses Sarah. Hank offers for Max to stick around while he is shooting some photos and he says yes.

Julia and Joel are looking at some land where he is going to build a new home, they are are so excited for him.

Adam and Kristina are home when Bob Little arrives at the door and asks Kristina to run his campaign. Bob tells her that she has been through hell and back, he wants to do something great with him.

The family all heads over to Crosby and Jasmine’s place to see the baby. Everyone starts talking about names for the baby and Jasmine seems to be getting annoyed when Zeek says that putting her least name with Braverman would be too long for a football jersy.

Joel takes a moment to speak to Amber who tells him that she misses him but that is what happens in the reserves; Joel tells her that if he gets the contract, Ryan has a job with him

Amber tells Sarah that she is sad about Ryan, he has been distant lately.

The baby is crying and Jasmine heads into the room, again she seems so annoyed.

Kristina and Adam talk about their offer and Adam doesn’t like it because he thinks Bob is a liar and if she can’t trust him, it’s a big mistake. Max tells his parents that he went to Hank’s shop, he was there for two hours and Hank told him that he should take pictures of people.

Julia is at a job interview, the interviewer tells her that he is going to have to check her references.

Crosby is asleep in the kitchen, Jasmine walks in with the baby and he has the toast burning. Jasime starts micro managing him and it pisses him off. Jasmine tells Crosby that she is upset that his whole family came over and stayed for five hours. Crosby is tired, he tells Jasmine that he needs eight hours of sleep and he is also frustrated that they don’t have a name for the baby. Crosby holds the baby and tells her that he is sure one day she is going to be the best thing that ever happened to him but right now he hates her.

Adam goes to see Hank who is back from Minnesota because he and his ex-wife did nothing but argue. Adam wants to pay Hank for fixing Max’s camera, Hank won’t take the money. Adam tells Hank in future he can tell Max to leave. Then Adam asks Hank if the reason he spends time with Max is because he wants to get back with Sarah. Hank says that it was a mutual breakup and he’s not using Max to get to her, Max likes photography. Adam says he didn’t know Max liked photography, Hank says if he doesn’t want him there to tell Max then not to be in his radius.

Julia didn’t get the job but she is ok about it. Joel has invited his new potential partner to dinner at the house, her name is Pete and it looks like Julia was expecting a guy and not an attractive woman.

Kristina goes to see her friend that is going through chemo, she has brought her some goodies. Kristina tells her friend about the opportunity and she tells her that if she wants it then she should go for it and if chemo has taught them anything, it’s not to wait.

Amber is having a drink out with Drew and she tells him that she is nervous about Ryan coming home, she is worried that he might have changed.

Julia tells Joel that she is worried she may not find a job because Leon is being vindictive; Joel’s phone rings and it is Pete and he got the contract.

Crosby is in the car with the baby to make her sleep and Adam gets in. Crosby tells Adam that the baby is ruining him, he has lack of sleep and is worn out. Adam assures Crosby that it is temporary. Crosby tells Adam that he is not feeling it, he doesn’t understand why he is not feeling a connection with the baby.

Adam tells Kristina that he thinks Max should pursue photography, Kristina tells him that she doesn’t want to work for Bob, she wants to run for mayor.

Jasmine tells Crosby that she thinks she has a name, Ieada Braverman.

Kristina tells Bob that she is running for mayor and he is shocked.

Drew surprises Sarah with a visit.
