Jeff's paternal – and neurotic – instincts ignite when a group of ducklings appears in his backyard overnight. He and Gage continue to butt heads, as Gage is forced to pick up the slack after Matt's resignation. As if things were not tense enough, problems persist with their Hollywood flip and their architect Jason. Meanwhile, Jenni continues on her quest to have another baby and moves from the IUI process to the IVF process.

Desperate to make progress on construction at his house, Jeff decides to cram the entire kitchen into his office. But as heat rises and tension mounts, Jeff and Gage find themselves in a power struggle before leaving town to meet up with Alexandra. As they take the final steps in prepping for the baby's arrival, he works to wrap up as many client projects as possible. This is a bittersweet process for Jeff, as it means Zoila moves out to make room for the soon-to-be nursery.
