Ep 21. The Outsider

When Ben arrives home in the early hours of the morning with Cindy, he surprises the family when he tells them that they got married in Maryland. Their surprise increases when Cindy chimes in to say that she is looking forward to being in such a large family, since she is an only child. The next morning, John tells Ben that he should call Olivia right away before she hears the news from someone else. After John and the rest of the family throw a celebratory dinner, Cindy and Ben begin having problems. After he tells her that she shouldn’t spend the money that her father sends her and a few other minor things, Ben announces that he and Cindy are breaking up. All it takes is some advice from Grandma to get the newlyweds back on track, with Ben agreeing to respect Cindy and Cindy acknowledging that it is alright for Ben to voice his opinion on how to decorate their home. Elsewhere, when Corabeth learns of an old fountain from Doe Hill is for sale, she is able to convince Ike to buy it for her.
