Episode Summary
Teddy and Spencer are watching football together, but Teddy has some trouble understanding how football works. With prom approaching, Spencer asks if they can go to prom together, but she says that she wants him to propose properly. So he goes out on the porch and offers her a rose and proposed, which she gladly accepts.
Amy does not want to look at the ultrasound; since she wants the gender of the baby to be a surprise, Bob wants to, though. Gabe comes up with a plan. It goes wrong and they grab the wrong ultrasound for a woman, who has the same last name, having triplets.
PJ does not have a date for his senior prom and tries to find one but they either graduated or are with someone else. Unlike last time, he won't be going with Emmett (or a group). When the pizza delivery girl named Taylor comes to his house, he becomes attracted to her. They go on a date and she asked him to go to prom with her, he agrees. However, she is homeschooled (which he doesn't find out until that night), so the prom is just her at her house, with her family.
Teddy has to wear Amy's dress to her prom which she did not want to do but since Amy had a bad experience at prom when she wore that dress, she thought it would be a second chance. She goes with Spencer but changes the dress when she gets to school. PJ does not like his prom, and he sends a video out to Teddy. They end up going to PJ's prom after seeing he is upset, while she won't admit it, P.J. is touched she ditched the school prom for his. Amy and Bob come as well (as it turns out PJ accidentally texted it to the whole family), so Teddy must change into Amy's dress. She puts it on backwards. She ends up giving the dress to Amy, saying only she could wear it. Amy throws up on the dress, just like before. In the end, Teddy gets the dress destroyed at the dry cleaners, so Charlie won't have to wear it. Later, PJ is leaving to go to Taylor's graduation.
In the end, Bob's mother (which is soon revealed to not be a prank) wants to know the gender of the baby; the doctor is about to reveal the gender, but is cut off as the episode ends.
End Credits
Grandma Duncan (Not Linda Duncan) wants to find out if the new baby is going to be a boy or girl. The Doctor thinks that Grandma is Bob. He is proven wrong when Bob walks in. The Doctor admits if it is a boy or girl, but the episode ends before he finishes his sentence.
