Anabelle Scott is beside herself with excitement for the arrival of her first grandchild. As her Daughter Ainslee's due date approaches, however, tensions over Anabelle's meddling ways reach a breaking point when Ainslee announces that she doesn't want her mother present at the birth. Anabelle fusses too much, and Ainslee just can't handle the stress anymore. Anabelle remains firm in her belief that she's just trying to help. Can mother and daughter reconcile in tome for the happy occasion? Elena Rodriguez plans a big grandbaby shower for Anabelle, but can she get her distressed friend in the spirit, given the recent events? It may take a surprise guest at the party to do so. Meanwhile, Candace Crenshaw's six-year-old son Howie is diagnosed with ADHD, and she worries the doctor may have been too hasty in prescribing medication. When the hospital is the target of multiple acts of vandalism, James Bell can't help but wondering whether his son Gideon's moody new friend is responsible. Is James being too quick to judge? He struggles between trusting his son and knowing when to let go, and learns an important lesson in faith along the way.
