Ep 9. Twisted Sitters

Doug and Carrie get themselves in a bind when they hire a babysitter for Deacon and Kelly's kids, causing them to turn a fun night of babysitting into a twisted nightmare. The episode begins with Doug and Carrie excitedly anticipating their night of babysitting for Deacon and Kelly's kids, Kirby and Major. However, their plans are derailed when Kirby comes down with a fever, and Deacon and Kelly have to leave him home instead of going out for the evening.

Doug and Carrie, not wanting to disappoint Kirby, decide to still make the evening fun by turning their apartment into a makeshift carnival, complete with games and prizes. All is going well until their original babysitter cancels last minute, leaving them in a tight spot. They frantically search for a replacement and end up settling on a teenage girl named Holly, who seems sweet and responsible.

However, things quickly take a turn for the worse when Holly's boyfriend shows up unexpectedly, causing her to abandon her babysitting duties and leave Doug and Carrie to fend for themselves. They try to salvage the evening by continuing with their carnival activities, but things spiral out of control when Major accidentally swallows a toy whistle, causing him to choke.

In a panic, Doug and Carrie rush Major to the hospital, only to find that he's fine, and the whistle has passed through his system without causing any harm. However, their ordeal is far from over, as they soon discover that Holly and her boyfriend have taken advantage of their absence, throwing a party in their apartment and causing thousands of dollars in damages.

Doug and Carrie are devastated, realizing that they trusted someone they shouldn't have and allowed their desire for a fun evening to cloud their judgment. They work to repair the damage done to their apartment and make it up to Deacon and Kelly, who are understanding but disappointed nonetheless.

In the end, Doug and Carrie learn a valuable lesson about responsibility and the importance of trusting the right people. They vow never to let their desire for a good time compromise their judgment again and promise to be more careful when choosing a babysitter in the future. The episode ends on a hopeful note as they clean up the mess left behind by Holly and her friends, grateful for the reminder that sometimes the best-laid plans can go awry.
