Ep 12. Lisa Has a Calf

Oliver is apprehensive around Lisa as she is prone to whimsical notions, which causes him to be concerned when she becomes fond of one of the cows on their farm. Lisa has taken it upon herself to name the cow Molly and begins treating it like a pet. When Oliver discovers that Molly is pregnant, he orders the cow to be sent to the slaughterhouse as it is not profitable for the farm to have a cow give birth. Lisa is heartbroken and convinces Oliver to let her take care of Molly and the calf.

Lisa takes on the responsibility of caring for the pregnant cow and spends all of her time with Molly, reading to her and playing music for the calf. The townsfolk begin to gossip about Lisa's attachment to the cow and rumors spread that Lisa is going insane. Oliver is worried about the rumors and, in an attempt to placate Lisa, suggests that they throw a baby shower for Molly and her calf.
