It's Jake's birthday and Reba doesn't want Barbra Jean's help in planning it. When the day of the party arrives, Reba promises Brock that she'll be nice, until Barbra Jean starts insulting her, that is. Meanwhile, Reba and Cheyenne butt heads when it comes to Cheyenne's preferred parenting methods when it comes to letting the baby cry.

After Reba quits working for Brock in order to take a full time job in a neighboring dental practice, Barbra Jean volunteers to watch the kids for her. At first Reba likes the arrangement, but after hearing Jake call Barbra Jean mommy, she quickly changes her tune.
