Full summary

Randall rushes up to the front door and opens it to see Rebecca and Miguel. He hugs them after retrieving the previously wrapped gifts from them and leads them inside. Beth greets Rebecca and hugs her, then exchanging a rather awkward handshake with Miguel. Randall asks them if they are prepared for Kate's surprise, Rebecca immediately nodding. He opens the door behind him to reveal their almost unrecognizable living room, a hyper Annie running wild while blowing bubbles. The entire room is covered in pink from the walls to the furniture. Rebecca gasps and rushes into the room with Miguel. She thanks Randall and Beth for decorating the room so beautifully for one of the family's most anticipated events - Kate's first baby shower.

Across the river, Bonnie is folding clothes and placing them into a large suitcase, music blasting from the loud speaker across the room. She zips the suitcase closed and looks around the half empty room when done. Around are dozens of cardboard boxes all with different labels on them. She turns to the speaker when the music stops and notices that Randall is calling. She disconnects her phone from the speaker and holds it up to her ear. He greets her and asks if she'll still be attending Kate's baby shower. She immediately confirms that she will without a doubt make an appearance and accuses him of thinking that she is crazy. Randall denies thinking of anything of the sort and apologizes. Bonnie rolls her eyes and assures him that he has nothing to apologize for, hoping he wouldn't notice. Just before hanging up, Bonnie advises him that she will be arriving with a surprise, barely giving him any time to respond.
