Gerald and Jimmy pretend to be a couple to get Edie into preschool.
Ugh, car seats are such a drag according to Grandpa Jimmy anyway.
But alas, Jimmy is Jimmy.

Six of the finest cows in Italy died for this leather, he says.
I will not let a childs car seat make a mockery of their sacrifice.
Not surprisingly, he doesnt even make it to Saras before getting ticketed.
The preschool visit begins with Jimmy meeting an attractive redhead named Sloane (JoAnna Garcia Swisher).
Sloane offers to give them a tour of the school, which has revolutionary pathways of the mind curriculum.
She then informs Jimmy that Edie is competing with 1,000 other toddlers for only 20 open slots.
I didnt even know there were 1,000 2-year-olds, Jimmy says.
When Gerald arrives and introduces himself as Edies dad, things get a little twisted.
He finds Edie and Jimmy and realizes what his father has done when Sloane pronounces them an adorable couple.
Newsflash: Its 2015.
She agrees to get the head of the school to do an at-home interview.
Suddenly, Gerald has a boyfriend, and his name is Jimmy.
Annelise has even made fake family photos.
(Is there anything this woman cant do?)
Jimmys place is baby-proofed.
Toys replace liquor bottles and crumbs are strewn across the floor as Jimmy cringes.
The two wrap up their evening with a dinner to get the details of their lie straight.
Later in the evening, Jimmy heads to work, where he discovers that Sloane is waiting for him.
Jimmy asks her to have a drink, and predictably, one thing leads to another.
He kisses Sloane and realizes immediately what hes done.
Im a terrible boyfriend, he says unconvincingly.
The next day, Jimmy is nervous as the preschool people come to his house.
The head of the school arrives with a suspicious Sloane in tow.
Theres an abandoned refrigerator they call the magic box.
Did she really let her son go here?
Suddenly, shes all aboard the elitist private preschool train.
Back at Jimmys, Sloane grills Gerald and Jimmy about their relationship.
To make matters worse, Gerald accidentally refers to Jimmy as Dad when he gets angry about the kiss.
Edie can kiss one of those 20 slots goodbye.
He suggests that Edie just go to his old preschool.
Sara quickly vetoes that.
(Its not an option.
So where is Edie going to school then?
Sara and Gerald are appropriately touched.
The episode ends with Jimmy smiling lovingly at a doctored picture of the day Edie was born.
Grandpa is clearly coming around.
