While Cheryl is still in Florida, Jim donates all the kids' old furniture and clothes to charity to clear the garage for a cigar lounge; Cheryl calls Jim with a special announcement.
With Cheryl on bed rest, Jim hosts Gracie's doll-themed party, turning the girly tea party into a wild squirt-gun fight.
Jim tries to convince Cheryl that it was her idea to turn the basement into a media room instead of a room for Gracie and Ruby, blaming her forgetfulness on pregnancy.
Jim uses Andy's gift certificate just before Andy remembers he has it and invites Jim to help him use it.
