Garth frets over the fact that credit cards aren't going to support him in his cooking-related career, leading Tracey to admit that she's keeping the money for the baby. Garth is of course annoyed, especially by the fact that Tracey doesn't know who the father is. Depressed, the sisters decide to put the free meal vouchers to good use and go to the restaurant where Garth works now, which is also where Dorien is due to meet her new love's family. As the said meeting goes disastrously, Tracey stands up for Garth's cooking to an UnsatisfiableCustomer (although it is Dorien who saves the day) and they make up, with Tracey letting Garth have the money.
