Episode #315 "Pickles And Ice Cream"

  Sally goes to the gynecologist because she loves the concept of a doctor exclusively for women; in the waiting room she announces to everyone that she’s pregnant just to get some attention. Someone who looks like a homeless guy and acts like a dog shows up at the apartment; it’s Pickles, Harry’s pet from back home, who’s followed Harry across the galaxies and has now assumed human form; Dick allows Harry to keep him. Pickles begins to systematically trash the apartment in spite of Harry’s and Tommy’s efforts to contain him; Officer Don arrives and Pickles, who Don finds extremely strange, is introduced to him as a family friend. As part of her faked pregnancy, Dick and Sally attend a pre-natal class; Sally thinks being ‘pregnant’ is cool, but Dick resents the fact that pregnancy is a closed club for women only. Don, Mary and Nina find out about Sally’s ‘pregnancy,’ and Don worries that the child is his, while Mary and Nina want to be supportive since Sally is about to become a single mother. Pickles runs away, and Harry and Tommy find him getting rowdy in a sports bar; as they’re leaving Pickles is hit by a car. When a member of the pre-natal class goes into labor unexpectedly, Dick and Sally are present for the birth of a child; Dick is so enthralled that the parents have trouble getting the new baby away from him, but Sally’s horrified. Dick orders Sally to get pregnant, but she’ll have no part of it. And Dick tells Pickles that Earth is not a safe place for him; he’ll have to go home.
