Cathy and Lucy are waiting for a certain doctor to ask them to the Bachelor and Spinster Ball. Terence and Cris have a difference of opinion over a father's refusal to inoculate his children. Cathy finally swallows her pride and asks Matt to take her to the Ball - but he's already asked Lucy. The three of them end up going together. Matt saves Jess's new pet, a calf called "Sketty," doing so against his sensible judgment and to the dismay of Terence's wallet.
