You're not eating

your spaghetti pie. Why not?

I'm thinking I want to borrow

some money from you.

And my answer to that,

of course, is no.

There's a big pie Bake-Off in

Jonesville in a couple months. And I'd like to go.

And my answer to that,

of course, is no.

Prize money is pretty good.

Why do you need money? I give you everything

you need, don't I?

Absolutely.

You want for nothing, don't you?

Yes, Earl, I want for nothing.

I mean, your pies ain't bad. But what's so important about that

when you got me to take care of?

That's a good point, Earl.

Jenna Hunterson.

Hello, Mrs. Bunterson.

Hunterson.

Who are you?

I'm your doctor.

Oh, wow, you brought me a pie.

How nice.

You know what?

I've only been here a few weeks,

but already I am genuinely

impressed with the hospitality of this place.

You're not my doctor.

Lily Mueller is my doctor.

This pie is for her.

It's Marshmallow Mermaid,

her favorite.

Well, she's semiretired now.

Just sort of happened this morning.

She kind of quit.

We didn't have time to call anybody.

But Dr. Mueller delivered me.

I mean, she's been my doctor forever.

I really liked and trusted her.

Maybe you could really like

and trust me, too?

I've never even seen you before.

Yeah, I just got hired.

Long story, making it short,

this is still

Dr. Mueller's practice,

I'm the junior doctor on staff.

Um, just moved here from

Connecticut two weeks ago.

Dr. Mueller had a class

over the summer

and I was a student of hers,

and is this story boring you?

No... yes.

Sorry, anyway,

it's nice to meet you.

What's your name again?

I'm Dr. Jim Pomatter.

Okay.

- And you are?

- Jenna Hunterson.

Jenna Hunterson.

It is nice to meet you.

So... What seems to be the problem?

Well, I seem to be pregnant.

Good.

Good for you.

Congratulations.

Thanks, but I don't want this baby.

Oh, well, we don't perform... uh...

No, I'm keeping it,

I'm just telling you I'm

not so happy about it,

like everybody else might be.

So maybe you can be sensitive

and not congratulate me

and make a big deal

every time you see me.

I'm having the baby,

and that's that.

It's not a party, though.

Got it, okay, not a party.

Uh, well, then, why don't we, um...

we'll have to do a blood test,

make sure you're pregnant

and then we'll check

for diseases, hormone levels,

stuff like that?

Sounds like a plan.

Okay, well, the nurse

will be right in.

Um... don't go anywhere.

Nowhere to go.

Come in.

Hi, Jenna, have a seat.
