Adam tried to figure out the other plan to get into the ICU after the plan to pretend the hospital worker broken. He asked Brooke Vega, the indie-music goddess and lead singer of Bikini, to help him though he hadn’t come up with any concrete plan yet. Kim then had an idea that Brooke Vega’s singing caught nurses’ sights, letting Adam creep into the ICU. The plan exactly brought chaos to the ICU. Though Nurse Ramirez’s helping, Kim found Mia. This time, through these crazy plans, Mia found out that Adam and Kim were true friends. But, before Adam reached Mia, they got caught. Unfortunately, the plan was failed in the end. At the same time, Mia was waiting in the ICU, expecting Adam’s coming. She then saw Adam, Kim, and those rockers were caught by the guards. When Adam and Kim were caught, they luckily bumped into Willow. Mia was following them. Willow then rescued them, trying to help them to meet Mia. While seeing Willow, Mia then jumped into a terrible conclusion that Teddy might died. Mia recalled the memory about Teddy’s birth. Mia’s mother insisted they go holiday shopping before she went into labor. Her mother showed up her positive attitude toward her labor. They bought many presents to every family member and even happily had some pies. Suddenly, Mia’s mother announced she was going to deliver. When choosing the music to soothe her mother’s pain, her mother showed up the rocker taste.
