In this episode of Reba, titled "The Shirt Off My Back," Reba and Brock are tasked with co-chairing a charity auction for their kids' school, and things get complicated when they accidentally auction off the same item twice. As if that wasn't enough, Reba also struggles to find a gift for her new boyfriend, and Van and Cheyenne face their own difficulties when Cheyenne's hormones cause her to become overly emotional.
The episode starts with Reba and Brock trying to rally the parents at their kids' school to donate items for the auction. Brock suggests that they both donate something, and Reba reluctantly agrees. Later, while sorting through the donated items, Reba and Brock both notice a shirt that has been donated by a local celebrity. They both want to bid on it, but neither wants to outbid the other, so they agree to both bid on it and split the cost.
However, when it comes time for the auction, things start to go wrong. Reba and Brock accidentally write down the same bid amount for the shirt, and the auctioneer doesn't notice until it's too late. The shirt ends up being sold to both of them, and they're left to figure out what to do.
Meanwhile, Reba is also struggling to find a gift for her new boyfriend, Bill. She enlists the help of her friend Lori Ann, but they have trouble finding anything that seems thoughtful enough. Eventually, they settle on a set of golf clubs, even though Reba knows he doesn't play golf.
Elsewhere, Van and Cheyenne are dealing with their own problems. Cheyenne is six months pregnant and her hormones are causing her to be overly emotional. Van is struggling to deal with her constant mood swings and turns to his sister-in-law Kyra for advice.
As the episode progresses, things continue to spiral out of control. Reba and Brock can't agree on what to do about the shirt, and it causes tension between them. Reba also struggles to connect with Bill, and their date doesn't go as planned. Meanwhile, Cheyenne's emotions get the best of her, and she ends up in tears multiple times.
In the end, everything comes to a head at the auction. Reba and Brock finally come to an agreement about what to do with the shirt, and Van and Cheyenne have a heart-to-heart about their relationship. Reba also learns a lesson about the importance of thoughtful gift-giving and makes amends with Bill.
