When Jep and Jess go into their yard to get some eggs, they discover their chickens have been killed by a hawk. Jess takes Miss Kay with her to buy some replacement chickens while Jep takes the kids to work to help them get their minds off the dead chickens that were like pets to them. While Jess and Miss Kay are shopping for chickens, Jess decides to surprise the kids and Jep with a new pet that will help them get over the death of the chickens, unbeknownst to Jep. Meanwhile, while Jep is entertaining the kids at the warehouse, they accidentally set off the security alarm, stranding themselves outside with a baby, a dirty diaper, and no diaper bag.

Jep is tasked with getting all of the kids to their dentist appointments while Jess is in Little Rock, pitching her jewelry line at Dillard's. When Jules' babysitter plans fall through, Jess is forced to bring him along to her business meeting. Meanwhile, even though Jessica warned against it, Jep takes the kids out for some fun before their dentist appointments, sure that he can fit everything into the day. However, when Jep encounters some unexpected delays, things take a turn for the worse.
