Meanwhile, Reba's oldest daughter, Cheyenne, is struggling with the responsibilities of motherhood. She has a newborn baby and is trying to balance being a good mom with being a college student. When her husband Van suggests that they hire a nanny to help out, Cheyenne is hesitant. She feels like she should be able to handle everything on her own, but eventually agrees to give it a try.
Overall, "The Accidental Role Model" is a heartwarming episode that touches on the themes of motherhood, divorce, and the pressures of modern life. It shows that even the strongest women have their moments of doubt and insecurity, but with the support of their loved ones, they can overcome any obstacle.
