Lizzy's pregnancy gets off to a great start when Luke and Prudence return from the gym and announce that Luke scored Lizzy an appointment with "The Fetus Whisperer," Dr. Levine. Luke spotted the OB/GYN playing basketball with his doctor pals and managed to join the game. After he let Dr. Levine score the game-winning shot, Dr. Levine returned the favor with an appointment. Ecstatic, Lizzy and Luke celebrate with a big embrace, but their affectionate moment leaves Prudence standing awkwardly to the side.

When the trio hits the gym together, Lizzy spies the cute brunette she's been crushing on for months. Though she says "my business is closed for business" while pregnant, Luke and Prudence encourage her to make a move. When she ends up on the treadmill next to her, Lizzy strikes up a conversation with her dream girl, who admits she's had her eye on Lizzy, too. But as she goes to introduce herself - her name's Kate - she falls and goes sliding off of the treadmill. "This is amazing," Luke says. "She's more awkward than you."

Lizzy invites Kate to come bowling with her league. Truthfully, there is no league, but Lizzy's lie forces Luke, Prudence, Leisha, Roy and Marcus to tag along, too. When Kate arrives, everyone attempts to figure out if she is a lesbian based on her wardrobe, her preferences in sports and her answers to blatant questions like, "Did you watch The L Word?" While Lizzy is mortified, Kate understands and confirms she is gay and that she was hoping this was a date.

After a great evening, Lizzy is overjoyed by her romantic prospects and can't stop gushing at her appointment with Dr. Levine. But that quickly comes to an end when Kate walks in - she's Dr. Levine's nurse. With only one date under their belt, Lizzy had yet to tell Kate that she's pregnant or that Luke is the father. Despite her shock, Kate gets on with her job, which includes asking Lizzy about her weight and her bowel movements. The situation only gets worse when Lizzy accidentally knocks her urine sample onto Kate's feet.

The next day, Luke tries to comfort Lizzy by saying Kate needs time to be okay with their situation and to look to Prudence as an example; she had no problem with Luke having a family completely separate from her. When Kate calls from the doctor's office, Lizzy and Luke head into the kitchen to hear what she has to say, leaving Leisha and Prudence alone in the living room. Leisha asks Prudence if Luke's separate family comment bothered her. Prudence admits it did but that she comes from positive stock and she's not about to let this get her down.

At least not until later that day, back at the bowling alley, when Prudence sees Luke and Lizzy acting affectionate once more. Leisha encourages Prudence to speak up and even shows her how when she flips out on Roy for not getting her the hot dog she asked for. In actuality, Leisha never asked for a hot dog, but Prudence needed the visual. When Lizzy walks away to speak to Kate, who asked to see her again, Prudence confronts Luke. He incorrectly assumes she's upset because he borrowed her underwear one day, which sends Prudence running off.

Lizzy's relief that Kate wanted to see her again proves short-lived when Kate admits Lizzy's situation is too complicated for her. Making Kate's point, Prudence and Luke walk by at that exact moment, with Prudence shouting at Luke about his treating her like the other woman and not his wife. Lizzy promises Prudence is just a phone call away from deportation, but there's another reason why they can't be together: Kate's not allowed to date Dr. Levine's patients.

Back at home, Prudence and Luke have made up in their typically sexy fashion, but Prudence is glad they argued; it taught her to stand up for herself. Lizzy, meanwhile, is not so pleased. Luke and Prudence try to cheer Lizzy up by saying she and Kate can always date after the baby is born. Lizzy doubts Kate will still be single by then, but at her follow-up appointment with Dr. Levine, Kate gives her hope. As Lizzy, Luke and Prudence watch the sonogram and listen to the baby's heartbeat, Kate notes that there are only 238 days until Lizzy's not pregnant or a patient anymore.
