Matt and Maggie discuss getting Greta a real pet for her birthday, but Maggie says that Mike wants to be in charge of choosing the animal. Althea sings Can't Help Lovin That Man of Mine and It Might As Well Be Spring for the spring frolic. Steve wants Miss Simspon to move to phase 2 of their relationship. Carolee makes Steve leave the Allison home at midnight, and she falls asleep on Dan's sofa. Later Dan arrives home from visiting the sanitarium. He confides in Carolee that he just learned that his wife's prognosis is terminal, and laments the fact that Billy will never see his mother again.
