Grounded for Life

- Season 5

(2004)

Eddie lost Hope (the girl, not the concept). Lily's imagined all summer that Brad's cheating on her with Lana, and decides to get even. Sean believes he got Claudia pregnant when it was *not* planned, and hastily decides not tell her.

Lily and Brad have made up and are friends. Eddie is confronted on the bar stage by one of the exes he dumped, Faye, and decides to make amends. Jimmy tries to impress the new girl next door, Taya. Sean has sympathetic pregnancy.

Jimmy is spying on Taya, and since Brad is there, Lily joins in. Jealous, she tries again with her ex Joey. Eddie too is with his ex, Faye, but when Sean finds out Eddie's forgoing their Garage Band Monday because of her, he flips.

Lily is pissed off because Brad's Taya is about to be the first girl in the football team. Eddie has moved to Sean's basement - he's just forgotten to tell about it. Claudia insists she can do everything as normal despite the pregnancy.

Lily is attracted to a guy signing up people for an Older Sibling program, and signs up before realizing she'll only get a "kid sister" instead of guidance from the guy. Sean wins by gambling and buys a 43" TV. Claudia is not happy.

Sean wants to know whether it's a boy or a girl, Claudia doesn't. Lily is running for Student Council President - against Brad, and is ruthless in defaming him. Eddie's shrink finds a surprising reason for his depression.

Lily gets pissed off when she finds out she has to share her room with the baby during her breaks from college. Sean tries to arrange a gig at school for his old friend Dave, a.k.a. J.J. Bodybuddy, but things do not go as planned.

Claudia gets fired and starts working from home. A big chain opens a new bar nearby, and Sean decides to go to an interview for a manager's job - without telling Eddie. Brad has broken up with Taya. Suddenly she's with Jimmy. How?

Claudia is at that stage where she doesn't feel herself sexy. Sean comes up with a creative solution. Brad enlists Jimmy as a pledge to the Science Club. Eddie gets a stand-up gig and Lily offers her help in coming up with material.

Sean is subbing for his friend Gary as a limo driver for 2 weeks and finds unexpected side benefits. Lily is told he's not Yale material like Brad but still manages to get herself an interview. Eddie coaches Jimmy for a school play.

Brad & Lily's anniversary is coming up and Lily has a wish list she gives to Brad. But Brad wants to surprise her. Sean gets a notification from the Home Owners' Association but he decides to defy them. Someone has a dark secret.

Eddie's ex Crazy-Amy has hit pay dirt with nude photos of him, so Sean makes Eddie to try to sell the bar to her. Jimmy is filling in for Brian, the injured male cheerleader. Claudia makes preparations for the baby.

The new Finnerty is about to arrive, causing Sean and Claudia to rush to the hospital, leaving Lily at her graduation.
