After Kyra brings home a stray cat, Barbara Jean tells her she'll have to hide it in the attic since Brock is allergic to cats. However, it turns out he was lying and Barbara Jean is the one with the allergy instead. Meanwhile, Reba starts to get jealous when Jake appears to enjoy spending more time at Brock and Barbara Jean's house and starts finding creative ways to keep him at home instead of over at his father's.

After learning that Reba told Cheyenne to learn how to cook, Barbara Jean volunteers to teach her. As a chaos ensues, Barbara Jean turns to drinking to get through the lessons. Meanwhile, upon learning that Reba signed up for a 5K fundraising race at Jake's school, Van vows to coach her, so she can beat Brock after he signs up for it as well.
