* Meanwhile inside living room, Evelyn claps and hands to her.
* Evelyn: Come to us, Emmy!
* Edward and Evelyn claps their hands.
* Emily: Cheer up, Patrick...
* Emily: Hey, did I tell you the last round of challenges is going to be here, in our garden!
* Patrick: Great, so everyone can see what a bad father I am - right here in my own home.
* Emily: C'mon, now - what do they call it in footsieball? Home base advantage?
* Emily taps her elbow to Patrick.
* Patrick: Quit calling it 'footsieball' - and it's 'home field' advantage, now 'home base'.
* Emily giggles.
* Emily: Same difference.
* Edward: Atta girl, Emmy!
* Emmy crawls to Edward.
* Vito Jr: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
* They're scared about Vito Jr crying, so Patrick picks him up!
* Evelyn: Vito's still frustrated that Emmy's doing everything first.
* Patrick: Don't worry - he'll learn to crawl when he needs to, right buddy?
* Vito Jr cries.
* Patrick: Though once he gets like this it's almost impossible to soothe him.
* Francois: Here, I learned a trick while watching him the other day.

* Sharon: Good, then it's settled.

### Outro
