Synopsis by Hal Erickson

Still unemployed, Kate (Christa Miller) accepts a job house-sitting for her wealthy neighbors, the Fosters. Taking up residence in the couple's lavish home, Kate meets handsome plumber Scott (Neil Flynn), who in turn helps out when Kate is obliged to take care of the Foster's youngsters Cindy (Tony Scott) and Mark (a decidedly pre-Desperate HousewivesShawn Pyfrom). Faced with the responsibilities of an "instant family", Kate and Scott immediately begin acting like an old married couple, and it isn't long before Kate is having trouble separating fact from fantasy--especially when Scott wants to "go out with the boys". Meanwhile, Drew (Drew Carey) tries to impress sexy handywoman Sharon (Jenica Bergere) and gets an ear infection for his troubles; and Mimi(Kathy Kinney) worries over what sort of retribution Drew has in mind for the notorious "China Prank" a few episodes back. (Trivia note: series regular Christa Miller and guest star Neil Flynn were later reunited in the NBC sitcom Scrubs).
