There will be no Thomas-Brewer baby after all.
See, I told you this show is a hug.
Yeah, maybe; its been a tough year for all of us, okay???
Its certainly not been the easiest time at the Thomas-Brewer estate.
One small way to do so actually ends up right in Lizs lap.
Er, her inbox.
Stoneybrook is bringing back its annual Baby Parade to celebrate its 80th anniversary.
It seems likea lot.
to ride in a float together.
Those baby winners include Kristy and Watson!
The year Kristy won, Liz dressed her up as Mrs. Claus.
The year Watson won, his grandmother dressed him as baby Nixon, unironically.
The costume didnt age well, but man, is Watson pumped to be doing this with his stepdaughter.
Kristy so badly wants to say no, but she sees how excited her mom is and says yes.
The BSC is all in, too.
The system was rigged, and now Claudia wants justice!
Liz Thomas receives a second interesting email, this time from Kristys dad.
The show lets the Thomas kids initiate the gamut of emotions one might feel in this situation.
Kristy is undecided and mostly worried about her mom at this point.
Shes scared this could mean divorce.
Parents have a way of meeting expectations, she says.
And it also gets Kristy thinking.
Part of the reason she wont change her mind is that she knows how badly David Michael wants this.
The kid is even making a photo album as a gift for this guy.
Now shes actually excited about seeing her dad again.
Oh, buddy, you know Kristy is headed straight for a broken heart by this point.
The morning of the parade, Kristy is even putting mascara on.
As excited as Kristy is, shes still worried about her mom.
The two chat in a meaningful and moving way, as they are wont to do.
Kristy will not give in to this madness; her bonnet is staying firmly off her head.
This is a disaster.
He doesnt say this, but its pretty obvious: This guy is the biggest piece of shit.
Cheery, enthusiastic Watson is over it.
Hes wearing the baby bonnet the entire time.
You guys know Im president of the Watson Brewer Fan Club, but why.
Let it be emotional!
Because, as it turns out, Watson isnt the only one whos angry on the Thomas familys behalf.
Mary Anne getsinto it.
Shes in tears as she tells Kristy that shes so tired of watching her father let her down.
Dawn, too, steps in.
Then it dawns on Watson that he can provide that.
He wants to adopt the Thomas kids officially.
She already has the dad shes been missing all this time.
Cue Kate Nashs version of Say Hello to Your Friends and feel the joy.
