When Brock tells Reba that a recruiter from USC is planning on stopping by to talk to Van, she convinces Brock to take his annual fishing trip a little early to keep him from trying to sway Van to picking an out of state college. Meanwhile, while the recruiter is in town, Cheyenne has a false alarm, and everyone rushes her to the hospital. However, before leaving, Barbara Jean's water breaks and Reba frantically volunteers to go get Brock before the baby arrives.

After Brock inadvertently forgets to go Jake's soccer game where he scores his first goal, he promises to help build a treehouse with him to make up for breaking a promise to him. However, plans change again, resulting in Reba and Van helping Jake out instead. Later, as Brock and Jake spend the afternoon together in the finished treehouse, Brock tells his son that he will do better to find time to spend with him now that Henry has been born.
