Notes from the Underbelly Website

Season 2 [2007–2008]

She’s Gotta Have It (201)

Realizing he may be a pushover, Andrew forces himself to be more assertive. It proves to be a big turn-on for Lauren, until he embraces his opinions to the point where the delicate balance of their relationship is threatened. Eric and Julie hire a nanny who refuses to divulge the secret swaddling technique that instantly calms Baby Perry. Meanwhile, Danny and Cooper find themselves “accidentally dating” when he starts cooking for her in return for legal aide.

The Blackout (202)

After a power outage, Lauren suddenly becomes paranoid about every little thing and worries that she isn’t ready to take care of a baby. Andrew, on the other hand, is feeling very confident about his parenting abilities — until he kills a mock “baby” at their infant CPR class. Meanwhile, Andrew’s friend, Danny, excels in class by flirting with the 52-year-old-teacher, and Cooper uses Julie’s sexy baby blog as a way to bond with the “brown baggers” at her firm.

Heather’s Visit (203)

When Lauren’s cool younger sister, Heather, visits for a job interview, Lauren launches a campaign to convince her to move to Los Angeles. She would love to have Heather nearby when the baby’s born, but will her aggressive attempts to sell her sister on LA end up pushing her away? Meanwhile, as Lauren’s consumed with her sister’s visit, Julie convinces Cooper to keep her company while Eric’s away on business. But when new mom Julie falls asleep from exhaustion, Cooper is confronted with one of her greatest fears — a crying baby Perry.

Not Without My Noodles (204)

When Cooper thinks that Lauren is becoming too wrapped up in baby stuff, he decides to make a new friend. Meanwhile, Andrew foolishly disregards the old adage “don’t work for friends” when he agrees to landscape Julie and Eric’s yard in preparation for baby Perry’s official “coming out” party. To make matters worse, Danny wants Julie and Eric to hire him to play piano at the party. Eric, for his part, must manage his wife’s expectations for a blowout baby party without screwing up his friendship with Danny and Andrew.

Friends and Neighbors (205)

When Lauren and Andrew make an appointment with a lawyer to create their will, they’re faced with the important decision of choosing Olivia’s legal guardian should anything happen to them. After Julie and Eric turn them down because they’re “booked,” they decide to ask their neighbors, a couple they hate for being too perfect — until it dawns on them what great guardians they’d make. Lauren and Andrew quickly devise a plan to win them over, but it’s abruptly spoiled when an overly eager Andrew “pops the question” too soon. Lauren tries to save Andrew from his mishap, only to make things worse with her poor choice of words.

If the Shoe Fits (206)

It seems everything is beginning to remind Lauren of the weight she’s gained in the six months she’s been pregnant, leaving her feeling decidedly un-sexy, as Cooper, Julie, and Andrew do whatever they can to help her out of her funk. Meanwhile, Danny asks Julie if he can borrow her baby to attract women in the park.

The List (207)

Lauren enlists Danny’s help to surprise Andrew with VIP passes to the big concert festival in Palm Springs. The gesture is meant as a last hurrah gift before the baby arrives… and to offer a break from Andrew, who’s been overly concerned the baby’s about to be born with every grimace and expression of exasperation Lauren makes. Once at the festival, Lauren starts to experience what she thinks is indigestion, which prompts Andrew, when he sees their car is blocked, to commandeer a tour bus to get to the hospital.
