Lynette walks out of her office and finds Ed, holding Mindy. Lynette gives Little Mindy a big smile, but then tells Ed that the daycare room isn't going to be ready until next week. Ed: "If I'd waited, I might have lost my nerve. I had a window. Fran was in the shower, so I just grabbed the baby and ran." Lynette, looking aghast: "You took the baby without telling Fran?" Ed: "I refuse to be bullied by that woman. You were right! Mindy is my daughter. I wanted to spend time with her. I have that right."

Lynette: "Oh, I was planning too." Ha!
