We see four girls making a poster. Two of which had two little boys on their laps. Mandy was spreading glitter all over the place.

Eve:
Mandy, you're getting glitter on my soccer ball.

Mandy:
Oh, well, now it's a disco ball. (Singsongy) You're welcome!

Kristin:
Oh, look. Boyd drew a rocket... Or a... wiener. You know what? Let's go with rocket.

Rachel:
Well at least he's being creative. Look at the coconuts my baby drew.

Kristin looks to see Jett's drawing.

Kristin:
Aloha.

They then heard two distinctive horn honks, and two vehicles approaching one was a loud engin that sounded familiar.

Vanessa:
Oh! Your dad, and Jake are home!

She said from outside.

Eve:
Oh, finally. I've been cooped up with you hens long enough.

Vanessa was seen entering the house with a glass of wine in her hand and approached Eve.

Vanessa:
Oh, Eve, honey, it's not cute when your dad says it, and it's just... confusing when you do it.

Mandy:
Where was their catalog shoot this time? Peru? Portugal? Something with a "p."

Rachel:

Rachel:
Yeah, I miss my husband. Quite frankly I wish I could've gone with him, I hear Alaska is beautiful.

Vanessa:
Well they said they were bringing dinner home.

Kristin:
Oh, good. We're starving.

The garage door opened up to Mike, and Jake Baxter. Father and son, and Mike was holding large fish, and a big smile on their faces.

Mike/Jake:
(Singsongy) We're back! Ah.

Mike:
(Grunts) All right, dinner.

Mike dropped it on the poster that said "Welcome home Dad, and Jake".

Vanessa:
What am I supposed to do with this?

Mike:
You slice it, mouth to anսs. You pull everything out. Pretty self-explanatory.

Jake:
Hey Babe.

Rachel:
Well, hello to you.

They both kiss one another as Mike, and Vanessa kiss one another.

Mike:
I gotta grab a shower.

He kissed his wife again.

Jake:
Same here.

Rachel:
Yeah.

Both Mike, and Jake walked off.

Mike:
It is great to be back home.

Jake:
Yes it is.

The next morning Mike sees Vanessa getting ready for work.

Mike:
Wow. You're heading to work kinda early. By the sun's position, I'd have it at--
