The episode opens with a family celebrating Carson standing and walking for the first time, credited to Lana's medicine. Mom and the children praise Lana; Lana shyly wishes, "I wish for you to like me," and Carson replies he likes her. Mom tucks Lana into a new bed, gives her a doll, and says Dad will come home later. While Carson rests, he suddenly collapses and the household erupts in panic. Voices cry, "Carson, don't die!" The episode ends with the family scrambling and Carson's condition left unresolved as they call for Dad.
