Ep 11. Nicky and/or Alexander

Stephanie is excited about her science project, a plant named Earl, and is hoping to win a ribbon at the upcoming flower show. However, when she accidentally spills milk on Earl, she becomes worried that he won't be ready in time. Determined to save her project, she turns to her family for help.

Meanwhile, Jesse and Becky are having a tough time dealing with their mischievous twin boys, Nicky and Alex. The boys are at that age where they are constantly getting into trouble and causing chaos around the house. Feeling overwhelmed, Jesse suggests hiring a nanny to help them out. Initially, Becky is against the idea, wanting to handle their kids on their own, but soon realizes that a bit of extra help might not be such a bad idea after all.

In search of the perfect nanny, the couple interviews several candidates, each with their own unique quirks and methods of childcare. From a disciplinary drill sergeant to an overly enthusiastic fitness fanatic, Jesse and Becky quickly learn that finding someone who understands their parenting style and connects with their boys is harder than they anticipated.

During the nanny search, Stephanie's worry about Earl continues to grow. She seeks advice from Danny, who suggests that she reach out to Kimmy, her best friend and neighbor. Kimmy introduces Stephanie to her friend Jennifer, an amateur botanist who offers to help revive Earl. Stephanie is hesitant at first, unsure about trusting a stranger with her project. However, realizing that time is running out, she decides to take a chance and accepts Jennifer's help.

As Jennifer begins her magic with Earl, Stephanie starts to relax and trust her expertise. They spend hours working together, and Jennifer teaches Stephanie some valuable lessons about patience and dedication. With each passing day, Earl starts to bounce back, and Stephanie's hope for winning the ribbon is rekindled.

Back on the nanny hunt, Jesse and Becky finally meet the perfect candidate, Mrs. Carruthers. She is kind, nurturing, and has years of experience working with children. Nicky and Alex instantly take a liking to her, and Jesse and Becky are relieved to have found someone they can trust.

With Mrs. Carruthers on board, Jesse and Becky start to regain control of their chaotic household. Mrs. Carruthers introduces new routines and strategies that help establish boundaries for the rambunctious twins. While they still have their mischievous moments, Nicky and Alex start to respond positively to the structure and guidance Mrs. Carruthers provides.

As the flower show approaches, Stephanie's confidence in Earl's recovery grows. She has poured her heart and soul into taking care of him, and her efforts pay off when she sees how beautifully Earl has blossomed. Filled with pride, Stephanie prepares to present Earl at the flower show, hoping that the judges will appreciate his journey as much as she does.

On the day of the show, Stephanie nervously awaits the judge's decision. As the ribbon winners are announced, it becomes clear that Stephanie's hard work has paid off. Overwhelmed with joy, she proudly holds up her blue ribbon, feeling accomplished and grateful for the support she received along the way.

In the midst of Stephanie's triumph, Jesse and Becky credit Mrs. Carruthers for the positive changes they've seen in Nicky and Alex. They express their gratitude to her for her dedication and promise to continue working together to create a nurturing environment for the twins.
