Edie is spending the day with Jimmy so her parents can build her some furniture.
Conflict, of course, arises when Gerald asks where Jimmy is taking Edie.
After the predictable amount of complaining, Jimmy agrees to take Edie to a museum.

Of course, they dont actually go.
At this exact adorable moment, a modeling scout happens upon their park bench.
Jimmy assumes shes here about him, but shes really interested in Edie and gives her a business card.
(Business cards are just as helpful to 2-year-olds as they are to anyone else, obviously.)
Its too bad modelings just such a wasteland of a career path, says Gerald.
When did modeling become a negative?
He leaves, thinking Grandpa Jimmy has been vetoed yet again.
But Vanessa follows Jimmy and stops him on his way out.
She acts like theyre fighting but tells him she really wants Edie to model.
With a little lying, Edies going to make it big.
They sit together, waiting for casting, and its clearly a tough environment.
Jimmy dubs himself Edies agent and is trying to sell her as being too cool to care.
Edie, meanwhile, rubs the product, Fuzzy Fruit, on a mans face.
No restraint, that one.
And of course, she gets the job.
But now they have to tell Gerald except, well, do they?
He doesnt read magazines because theyre bad for trees.
Maybe Edie can have a secret career under her dads radar.
He makes her a new drink oysters in a glass.
Annelise has no desire to mix work and pleasure, but Jess doesnt have the same reservations.
I would feel like a tool if I didnt at least try, she tells her.
Annelise lays it out like the boss that she is.
Work comes first, and she definitely doesnt do drama.
But at the end of her speech, she agrees to go out with Jess.
Ravi attributes the success to his oysters, naturally.
But when Sara shows up, having found a flyer on the kitchen table, things look up.
Suddenly modeling isnt too bad after all.
The three decide to convince Gerald that modeling is good for Edie.
They just have to get him to believe theres something good associated with being a baby model.
Jimmy chimes in that new experiences are good experiences.
Gerald, not being an idiot, figures it out pretty quickly.
He picks the weakest link, and Vanessa caves almost immediately.
He doesnt want Edie to feel that her self worth is wrapped up in her looks.
But since its already happened, he agrees to go check out the billboard.
Edie, however, looks just as precious as ever.
If Im being honest, I love this, says Gerald.
My babys a model.
He agrees to let Edie do more modeling, as long as shes having fun with it.
Back at the restaurant, Jess has called in sick, and Annelise is suspicious.
She quizzes Ravi, wondering whats wrong with her.
She didnt seem sick on their date last night.
Eventually, she tries to go to Jesss house to see if shes really sick.
Ravi jumps in the car, along with some other staff.
I feel like this is my fault, Ravi says.
I wanted something sexy and dramatic, and it worked out perfectly.
But hes not happy with her anguish by any means.
He tells her shes the complete package and to stop acting so insecure.
I bought you two vanilla martinis and an entree salad, and this is how you repay me?
Modeling is stupid, he tells his family.
This is a cruel, cruel world.
Instead, the family ditches the casting and watchesBachelor in Paradisetogether.
No hot tub, says Edie.
