Pete was especially early-Conner-like to me in this episode.
I found the whole hospital scene very creepifying.
I don't think we've seen the last of Duck, either.
To be determined... (but it's definitely [NAFDA])

Oh, Corwood, I caught the awkwardness, but missed the lack of baby!
Y'all notice that when the prison guard wouldn't meet Don's eye towards the end, there was no baby on his wife's lap?
I did not! I don't know what to make of that, either.
I definitely need to rewatch.

Yes. Very sad.
I'm digging the season. Y'all notice that when the prison guard wouldn't meet Don's eye towards the end, there was no baby on his wife's lap?
Yes! Also, I am also really liking this season and have been forgetting to come here to talk about it. I'm still totally blown away by the musical episode.
Another thing: the line about the wife being on a boat and the husband on shore was verbatim from Robert Bradley's book about husband-coached childbirth. He wrote it in the late 60s, and much of the book is taken up with documenting the horrors of twilight birth.
I wonder if my mom had twilight sleep anesthesia when she had my brother in the army hospital in '67. She said both she and the baby were doped up for days after. I'll have to ask her. What a nightmare that would be!
I know my mother had difficult deliveries, even though she had 7. I kept her in the hospital over Christmas the year I was born because of several false starts. Then she got pregnant again when I was 2 mos. old and spent the last month of her pregnancy in the hospital!
Then, 2 years later my brother was both larger than us girls and a breach birth!
She was not a happy person when pregnant, and now I get it.

I saw that there was no baby, but didn't really realize the implications. Side note - why does the husband get to decide what happens with the baby - the nurse (voice of Lisa Simpson BTW) said that he had to give permission. I thought maybe insurance, but it was the 60s
