Wanda suggests Veronica get child care books to help her deal with the babyish actors on Beaver Creek, which sparks the rumour that Veronica is pregnant. Alan tries to force Veronica to quit, so he doesn't have to pay her maternity leave.

A television critic tells Richard that the reason she hates Alan so much is that they slept together ten years ago and he never called her back. When Alan confronts the critic, it turns out that Victor was the person that jilted her.
