Ep 9. Ties That Bind

Despite the mounting costs, the Salingers agree to do whatever it takes to pay Griffin's hospital bill. As Charlie and Kirsten struggle with absorbing the high cost of their efforts to have a baby, Claudia asks Ross to resume her violin lessons in hopes of winning a lucrative competition. And upon learning of Bailey's garage sale to raise money for Griffin, Holly reconsiders her opinion of him. But once he learns of the family's efforts on his behalf, Griffin bolts from the hospital. As Charlie explores the black market for cheaper fertility drugs, Bailey impresses Holly with an unusual date. But after taking him home for the night, she begins to balk. While Griffin is unable to get his mom to help out, Kirsten and Charlie track down an illicit supplier for their medication. However, when they are ripped off and left unable to recover their $600, Charlie is upset to find that his truck has been towed, too. Meanwhile, as her confrontation with a boyfriend suggests that Holly is getting serious about Bailey, Griffin refuses Julia's offer to have him stay with the family during his recovery. After Charlie calls on Bailey to help recover his truck, Kirsten decides to give up on trying to get pregnant for now. And as both Holly and Bailey wonder if a serious relationship is right for them, Claudia makes it clear that she's only interested in returning to the violin if she can be the best. Finally, Griffin decides to stay, but only if he can work off his debt to the Salingers.
