Brie and Nikki get a FaceTime call from their father Jonathan. Jonathan asks them if they are having a baby shower, but due to the current world situation, it is tough to have one. Nikki mentions the re-kindling of her relationship with her father and how it has affeted the rest of her family, and feels it is not yet time to have everybody under one room. Nikki says she would like a baby shower, but does not want the family drama.
At Nikki's house, Nikki comes home with a few new cycling outfits for Artem, who has gotten into bike riding. Nikki likes the fact she has a baby inside of her, but she doesn't feel comfortable right now, especially when Artem has become more active and has gotten into better shape. Nikki mentions her father bringing up a baby shower, and that she is not interested in the family drama, even though Brie wants it.
At Brie and Bryan's house, Brie hands Nikki some mesh underwear and advises her to put some water on maxi pads, put them in them freezer, and then put them in the mesh underwear for the sensation. She then shows Nikki her birthing video and talks about what she had to give through to give birth to Birdie, which brings back unpleasant memories for Brie.
At Nikki's house, Artem is making sourbread dough. Nikki tells Artem that she has gotten a cycling partner for him: her mom, Kathy. Artem is worried if Kathy is aware of what he is doing. Nikki mentions she has trouble going uphill, but she has the outfit and everything. Artem is not necessarily interested in a riding partner, but at this point, he has already committed. On the cycling trip, Artem talks with Kathy about giving birth to Brie and Nikki, mentions her Bell's Palsy and also proposes that they also go hiking and golfing together.
At Brie and Bryan's house, Brie and Nikki guest on Maria Menounos' show Coming Together, then Nikki mentions that she and JJ have had a falling out over politics. Brie mentions that JJ has talked with her, and while it got heated between them, they worked things out, and proposed to JJ that he patch things up with Nikki. Nikki says that she does not know what she did wrong besides speak her mind, but Nikki mentions that JJ has not reached out and does not want to make up with people simply because they are family and that she does not want this kind of drama around her child. Brie tells Nikki that even though they do not see eye to eye, she will miss JJ.
Brie and Nikki record some commercials, then Brie feels her baby moving. Brie hopes that her baby comes out more easily the second time around.
Artem and Kathy go hiking. Kathy asks Artem about Brie and Nikki's baby shower plans, and Artem mentions their plans and their not wanting any family drama. When asked what she would do if their dad Jonathan showed up, Kathy says she would bow out gracefully but let Brie and Nikki do what they want.
At Brie and Bryan's house, Artem shows up and says he might exercise with Kathy a few times a week, then talks about his conversation with Kathy about the baby shower. Brie and Nikki are more convinced there will be family drama at a baby shower.
Brie, Nikki, Bryan and Artem do some yoga with a hypnobirthing practitioner to get used to the rhythm of breathing during labor. Brie admits she is nervous about giving birth again after what she went through with Birdie, then has to step outside. Bryan follows Brie outside, and Brie admits that she is scared of giving birth after what happened with Birdie. Daniel says the breathing techniques could be useful down the line, and while it is good to ready for the kind of birth she wants, she may have to do something different, and that should not keep her from enjoying having another kid.
Artem and Kathy go golfing. Meanwhile, Nikki's baby stuff shows up at her and Artem's house. Brie and Nikki decide to spy on Kathy and Artem after seing them having fun on the golf course on Instagram.
As Kathy and Artem continue golfing, Brie and Nikki spy on them from a golf cart and try to mess with them. They eventually get their attention and join them in a game of golf. Kathy admits it is more pleasant with just her and Artem - whom she is getting to know better - than with the whole family.
At Nikki's house, Brie and Nikki set up a video conference with a family expert regarding the drama among the family. The expert recommends making an agreement not to talk about touchy subjects, and if the agreement is not met, then the consequences of the conversation should be met with love, as boundaries must be set.
At Brie and Bryan's house, Brie looks through a bag of baby essentials, then Bryan watches the rest of Birdie's birthing video - which he has never seen before - to the end with Brie, since Brie never watched it to the end. Bryan tells Brie to focus on the end results, and Brie is now more confident about making sure her new baby comes out safely.
