Synopsis[]
Doug takes on a second job as a limousine driver to support Carrie. Arthur asks Doug to build a bathroom for him in the basement. The second job and the realization that he'll be a father in a few months all becomes too much for Doug.
Storyline[]
Doug tells Carrie not to panic about having the baby, that he will take care of all her "burden," so he takes on a second job, a night job working as limo driver so that they can store a little extra money before the due date, this as he also tells Arthur that because the contractor they were using is now too expensive with Carrie being pregnant, he would finish the downstairs bathroom himself. Meanwhile, Arthur is annoyed that Doug still hasn't finished his bathroom, and Deacon and Kelly reconcile.
Ultimately, the added responsibility of working so much combined with Arthur bothering him to do the bathroom proves to be too much, as Doug finally collapses at one of Carrie's appointments. In the end, sadly, Carrie loses the baby.
