A Vas Deferens Between Men & Women

**A Vas Deferens Between Men & Women** is the fifth episode of season four of *The Cleveland Show*. It is the sixty sixth episode, overall.

## Synopsis

Donna reveals that she wants another baby and Cleveland must keep his vasectomy a secret from her.

## Plot

When Rallo finally quits wetting the bed, the family celebrates. But Donna starts to miss having a little one around the house and asks Cleveland to have another baby. Cleveland rejects her but when he gets into the spirit he finds out he doesn't have a choice after the guys remind him he had a vasectomy while drunk. But when he tries to tell her the truth, he has to fake it.

Going to Doctor Fist for a reversal, he finds that the cure may be worse than telling the truth. Going home, he finds Donna claiming she's pregnant. When Cleveland tries to figure it out, he doesn't want to reveal the truth while suspicious of the pregnancy. Donna reveals to Kendra that she really found out the truth and is playing a prank on Cleveland for not telling her the truth but he overhears and decided to try to out-do Donna although she overhears this was well. They continue to one-up each other for twenty three weeks while they wait for the other to reveal the truth.

Meanwhile, Roberta gets rejected for the lead in the community theater musical production of Annie and Rallo is accepted as the lead. To everyone's dismay, Rallo turns into a demanding diva backed up by the director. But when Principal Farquare reveals that his demands have bankrupted the production, the show is canceled. As Rallo cries over the show being canceled, the kids decide to put on their own “knock-off” version of the show so they can avoid paying the license fee.

When Donna's "water" breaks during the production of Anny, they go to the hospital and during the “delivery” the truth comes out. They both admit the experience has proven that they are both too tired to really have a child.

**Cleveland**: Aha! Liar! You were never pregnant!
**Donna**: You're the liar! You had a vasectomy!
**Dr. Fist**: If I may interject, you're both terrible people who should not have any children. In fact, I am not even comfortable, sending that cushion home with you.

**Donna**: What was I thinking? I don't have the energy to have another baby. Plus, I gained 20 pounds.
**Cleveland**: Higher, Bob. Yeah, I'm always tired. That baby would have died.

## Trivia

* The Vas Deferens is the part of the testicles that is snipped during a vasectomy, as it conveys sperm from the testicles to the urethra. The title is a play on the phrase "a vast difference between men and women".
* Donna claims to have been pregnant five times.
* Rallo uses the nicknames of "Ro Ro" and "JJ" for Roberta and Junior, respectively.
* Donna had previously claimed to have had her tubes tied in "Nightmare on Grace Street".
* Donna mentions contributing her upper body strength to a possible offspring with Cleveland. Dee Dee Tubbs had previously mentioned that upper body strength runs in the family in "Mama Drama".

### Cultural References

* When Donna claims she gained five pounds during her fake pregnancy, Cleveland responds with "Higher, Bob," a common contestant response in pricing games in The Price is Right under one time host Bob Barker.
* The tune that plays with the mobile is "*Take Me Out to the Ball Game*".
* Roberta uses the stage name of "Roberta De Niro", a pun on *Robert De Niro*.
* When watching TV, Cleveland changes the channel away from the famous classic film, *Casablanca* noting that he's never heard of it. He also blows off *Philadelphia* because he declares the city to be terrible, and also nixes *Chinatown*, believing it to have subtitles. Lastly, he settles on watching *Look Who's Talking*, hoping it is similar to the sequel, *Look Who's Talking 2*, which he's apparently seen before the original.
