My Name is Earl: Guess Who's Coming Out Of Joy

Joy's pregnancy reminds Earl of the time she was pregnant with their child, or what he thought was their child. During Earl’s recollection of that troubling time in their marriage, he remembers how his father, Carl, pushed him to stay with Joy regardless of whose child he was going to be taking care of. Looking back on it, Earl realizes that staying with Joy and the kids was the first good thing he did before he ever made the list.
