Episodes

Ep1: Pilot Episode:
Mike and Allison are shocked and overwhelmed when they recieve news from Chelsea about her new chosen lifestyle and wanting to move in with her lover across town, and news from Megan about her becoming pregnant by Aaron (who is mortified when she has to inform her parents how she and Aaron had gotten pregnant-after they know Aaron is gay). Also, Doug confides in Mike during work, that he is having an affair with someone other than Kelly. Mike is beyond words and asks who the mistress is, Doug quickly changes subjects. (But at the very end of the episode), Mike oversees Doug leaving work to get in a car that looks very familiar to him--then he notices it's Hailey's car (and puts two-and-two together).

Ep2: Confrontations:
Mike and Allison have a talk with Hailey and end up hearing a confession from Hailey as to if she and Doug are having an affair. Hailey informs her parents that she and Doug are in love and there's nothing they can do to stop them. Meanwhile, Megan accompanies Aaron as he prepares to tell his parents that he will become a father in nine months. Aaron's parents are extremely up-in-arms about the new news, yet try to be supportive after they realize that Aaron is going to stick by Megan's side (even though they aren't in love, but still best friends).

Ep3: Acceptance:
Mike and Allison are trying to grasp the concept of Chelsea and her sudden announcement of her new chosen alternative lifestyle. Mike and Allison give Chelsea their blessing and approval to moving out and in with her lover, Nikki. Yet they insist on meeting Nikki first, and having her over for supper one night with the family. Chelsea preps Nikki for dinner with her family. The night isn't as glamorous as they had planned: Mike informs Megan that until she gives birth, she can not date anyone (which doesn't settle well with her) and Allison gives Hailey an ultimatum: end the affair or she will tell Kelly (which infuriates Hailey greatly).
