Pilot
Mia invites Maddie and Ben to meet Casey, and they think they're meeting just another in a long line of boyfriends. But Maddie realizes how serious things actually are when Mia and Casey excitedly announce that they're engaged. Surprised by the news, Maddie feels like her little sister has leapfrogged over her -- jumping ahead of her in some major, life-changing way -- and sees the light it shines on her own life choices. But reluctant to be a negative voice, she resolves to be supportive and let her parents, the critical Vicky and Joel, be the ones to object when the time comes. But when Mia tells them that she and Casey are getting married, Vicky and Joel greet the news with celebration, much to Mia's delight and Maddie's surprise.
Episode 2 • Sep 28, 2010
Better with Firehouse
Mia and Casey go house hunting when they realize that Mia's apartment will be too small for them when the baby comes. But Casey's unusual taste in home selections concerns Mia, especially when he sets his sights on a dilapidated old firehouse. Maddie tells her to just go along with his choice because, before a man turns 27, he never knows what he wants anyway. Meanwhile, now that Joel has recently retired, the already-retired Vicky finds her husband getting on her nerves because he doesn't know how to spend his new, free time.
Episode 3 • Oct 05, 2010
Better with Ben
Everyone dreads the gimmicky Putney family Christmas photo card that Joel obsesses over every year. But Ben, who has been left out of the card despite being with Maddie for nine years, is secretly hurt when Joel invites newcomer Casey to be included, so he and Maddie devise their own rival Christmas card. Meanwhile, when Mia and Casey realize they're no good at saying "no," they ask Maddie and Ben to be the ones to say it to their future child.
Episode 4 • Oct 12, 2010
Better with Fighting
When Casey and Mia have their first fight as an engaged couple, Casey implements his plan that stops all arguments cold. In an effort to help, Maddie decides to show them how arguing can actually be healthy for a relationship, but ends up exposing a fault in her own nine-year relationship with Ben. Meanwhile, the longtime married Vicky and Joel quietly resolve their arguments by simply hiding each other's things.
Episode 5 • Oct 19, 2010
Better with Little Buddy
Maddie thinks the best way to get someone to do something is to make them think it was their idea. She makes a deal with Ben to see if he can make Vicky think that it's really her idea to stop sending frivolous emails to his workplace. Meanwhile, after the ultrasound, Mia has trouble convincing father-to-be Casey that their romantic activities will not harm their baby, so Maddie suggests Mia find some way to make Casey see her as the sexy woman he fell in love with.
Episode 6 • Oct 26, 2010
Better with Halloween
It's Halloween, which is also the date of Maddie's birthday. Because Maddie feels like she can never have a real birthday -- since the holiday always steals the spotlight -- Mia and Casey offer to give her a Halloween-free party at their new home, the renovated firehouse. Ben, however, wasn't listening when Maddie told him what she wanted for a gift, so Joel tells him about what he does whenever he messes up. Meanwhile, Maddie and Vicky warn Mia that couples living together shouldn't look behind each other's "curtain," for fear they might learn things they should never know about each other; when Mia finds a mysterious videotape among Casey's things, she wonders what it might reveal behind his curtain.
Episode 7 • Nov 02, 2010
Better with Road Joel
Joel and Ben accompany Casey on a road trip to Vermont to help him move his stuff out of storage. Ben looks at the trip as an opportunity to bond with Casey; but Joel sees the road trip as his annual chance to go off -- way off - of his salt-free diet. Meanwhile, the Putney women organize Mia's baby shower, and Casey's hard-to-please mother, the earthy but rather quirky Ariel, comes for a visit. Mia goes out of her way to be accepted by her future mother-in-law, but things get heated between Vicky and Ariel when both want their grandchild to call them "Nana."
Episode 8 • Nov 16, 2010
Better with Flirting
Mia and Casey are excited when Maddie gets them a meeting with one of the top wedding planners in the city -- the charming but very expensive Lorraine Ashley. But the too-good-to-be-true arrangement turns awkward when it looks like Lorraine is trying to upstage the couple's pending nuptials. Meanwhile, Ben realizes that he has been with Maddie for so long that his "flirting muscle" has gone soft.
Episode 9 • Nov 23, 2010
Better with Thanksgiving
This Thanksgiving, everyone but Vicky is relieved when her oven breaks down. For once, the rest of the family can enjoy a normal Thanksgiving dinner and won't have to endure one of her unsavory concoctions -- such as maple syrup turkey stuffed with shrimp and raisins. And while spending the holiday at Maddie's and Ben's apartment, Mia accidentally finds her late grandmother's presumably stolen ring hidden in their linen closet... Now the unmarried couple has some explaining to do.

Better with a Cat
After parents-to-be Mia and Casey adopt a cat, the pediatrician tells them they shouldn't have a stray animal around the baby.

Better with Valentine's Day

When Joel finds out, he decides to compete with them no matter the cost - and gets singer/pianist Michael Feinstein to perform.
