Logan and Kristy are outside playing football with some of their charges while Mary Anne reads a book when they see a moving van. Kristy immediately thinks of new clients and takes over a flyer. They later learn that she dropped off a new flyer every day until she actually met the parents. Watson then invited them over for dinner with his family.
