After their visit to the studio, the blooms feel that they’ve been initiated to Hollywood. Sydney and Harold have a discussion about their business dealings. They measure up Jake’s business skill and Becky’s savvy on how to convince people to do things. Sally and Sidney enter to give their two cents on how they should pitch their new idea to their parents. Will there be a place in the movie business for the girls to take part in? They express concern that their parents will be giving up the casual retired life. Have the girls mastered Becky’s tricks and applying psychology to get their husbands to do what they want?

Becky and Jake enter, unaware they’re about to be ambushed by the youngsters. With all the buttering up, is Jake getting a little suspicious?

When Jake speaks the word business, Sydney and Harold jump at their chance to spring their idea. Although Becky and Jake seem to be enjoying their new casual life, a subtle twist in the conversation implies there is something going on beneath the waters.

Even Becky has become more that little suspicious. Jake starts to worry this is going to cost them money. Sydney springs the idea about the movie business on them. Should Papa invest in the movie business? Jake springs his own business news on the family. A small investment in a studio.
