“New Orders” · Season 4, Episode 9

In this episode: Frank Sherwood (3), Denise Sherwood (2), Roxy LeBlanc (1), 2nd Lieutenant Trevor LeBlanc (1), Dr. Roland Burton (1), Michael Holden (1)

[Frank and Denise are discussing colors to paint on the nursery wall.]

Honestly, Dee. It looks like the choices are between green, green and green.

No. Pistachio, willow and julup.

Green.

It's important, Frank. The baby is going to be living with these walls.

How about black and white?

[groans and rolls her eyes] Frank.

No, I'm serious!

A nice soothing color helps the baby's development. They've done studies.

I know. And the latest research in early cognitive development suggests that high contrast actually stimulates the infant brain more.

[Denise looks at Frank in amazement]

Hey. You're not the only one that can read up on the subject.

You've been reading about babies?

Well, um, when Jeremy was born it was all just a blur. At least it was for me. This time it's going to be different.

I'm proud of you. [kisses Frank] But I don't care if it's a boy or a girl, there is no way we are painting the baby's room black and white.

I love weekends! [starts kissing Roxy]

[stops Trevor] Honey!

[surprised] What?

We need a new car.

Ok, how did we go from what we just did to "we need a new car"?

I dunno. Good sex doesn't change the fact that I have to put oil in the car every time I get gas.

Oh, hell, I could do it. I've got nothing going tomorrow night.

Hey, that's really nice Frank, but...you know, Sara Elizabeth can be a real handful these days.

Well, I admit it's been a while since I looked after a toddler but I need to get back in training. [points at a pregnant Denise] Soon.

Uh, honey, I don't think Roland wants his daughter to be used as a field exercise.

That's not what I meant. Look, we're tag-teaming. Take the first shift together, you show me the ropes. When you gotta leave I'll take over.

[Roland is speechless]

Roland?

Um, you know, if the Lieutenant Colonel can lead men into combat I'm sure he can look after my daughter.

I appreciate the vote of confidence. [picks up the baby bag] [Denise laughs] I'll take these into the baby's room. Thank you.

Thank you, Frank. [looks on in amusement]

[chuckles] Well, what can I tell you? My warrior has turned into Mr Mom.

[Michael is reading his study when his cellphone rings]

Frank?

I'm sorry to disturb you sir.

[Sara Elizabeth is crying and screaming in the background] What is that? A cat in heat?

Uh, that would be your goddaughter sir.

Sara Elizabeth?

Affirmative. I'm at the Burton residence and I got babysitting detail.

[chuckles] Really.

Yes, sir. And I have a bit of a situation. [Sara Elizabeth is still crying]

[amused] Apparently.

Nothing I can't handle but I thought that perhaps considering your background with a child and the fact that you've raised two females yourself...

Sit tight, I'm on my way.

[relieved] Thank you sir!

[Sara Elizabeth continues crying and screaming while Frank looks on in desperation.]
