The Greenes arrive in Pennsylvania and Claire takes a teaching assignment at the local school. The class is health--and this week's topic is "Human Sexuality". The students practice parenting using computer-simulated babies to experience the real responsibilities of childcare first-hand. Josh is paired with a classmate named Megan Walker, the daughter of the school principal. The class exercise triggers painful memories of a secret that haunts Megan. Unable to bear the burden of the secret she has withheld from her parents, Megan confides in the Greenes. The admission triggers a painful reminder out of Russell and Claire's own past which ripples through the family.
