Ep 16. For The Birds

Richard decides to get a 'day job' and Sharon is thrilled. No more traveling all the time! But when he starts to date Lauren, a TV3 executive, Sharon feels threatened anew. Except Lauren is terrific and Sharon can't find a reason not to like her...until she finds out about Lauren's pet parrot. The problem is that Sharon feels strongly about people taking exotic animals from their natural habitat and keeping them caged as pets. Therefore...should she keep quiet? She doesn't want to endanger her relationship with her dad and, as an added pressure, Maria is trying to get her to use Lauren's connections to help with Mangled Metal's career. But Sharon feels strongly about people taking exotic animals from their natural habitat and keeping them caged as pets. So in the end Sharon must settle for an imperfect solution and live with her conflicted feelings about a potential new stepmother.
