Laura is heart broken to leave her house. Lucky insists on taking his pet spider to Bobbie's.

At the brownstone, Bobby screams when she sees Lucky's pet spider. (ever wonder where Lucky got the nickname "Cowboy"? Check out the hat he is wearing in this scene. Looks like a hat meant for Luke to wear, somehow Lucky winds up wearing his father's hat and the nickname stuck, sounds like a Tony Geary ad lib. It's also so nice to see little BJ, she was such a cutie!)

The next morning, Laura makes a big breakfast. Bobbie comes down very up tight. Now she's the diet police, she's condesending and tells Laura that Lucas is a diabetic and they have to be very careful with his diet. When BJ asks if they can have eggs and bacon every am, Bobbie makes a remark that they don't due to cholesterol. Laura looks like she wants to sink into the floor. Lucky hides the spider in the box after bobbie tells him to take it outside - she was less than thrilled to find it in her house!
