When she gets pregnant things get complicated, so with the help of her mother (Olympia Dukakis) and best Judy, Rona (Twink Caplan) Mollie navigates the ups and downs of pregnancy all with the color commentary of her unborn baby, Mikey (Bruce Willis). After nine months, Mollie discovers that Albert is going through a selfish phase and will not be leaving his wife for her, he will be moving in with his interior decorator.

Don't break her daughter's heart like Carl (Lonnie Horsey) or she'll stab your liver out. You better rewind those video tapes or you'll be beaten with a leg of lamb like that freak Mrs. Jenson (Patsy Grady Adams). And definitely don't wear white shoes after labor day like Juror #8 (Patricia Hearst). Beverly goes on a rampage in Serial Mom, this week on Doom Generation.
