Synopsis

Beth wants their first night out after their baby's arrival to be a big event. Her husband, Roy, who's been celibate for too long wants his own "big event" after the big event. But the baby sitter doesn't show up, so Roy goes for a takeout dinner while Beth lights candles and puts out wine. When Roy returns, Beth apparently angry, rushes past him stating she's going to her mothers. A bewildered Roy worries about caring for the baby, but Babs, the voluptuous 16 year old baby sitter, finally shows up. Roy's relief turns to dismay when Babs assumes the romantic setting is for her benefit. Then Beth returns, her mother in tow, to find not only a partially clothed Babs, but also another woman in the same state in the bedroom.
