It's Not Easy to Be a Mother

Betty Jo thinks she's at that point in her life where she needs to learn how to cook in order to get a husband. Kate agrees and offers to teach Betty Jo. But Betty Jo is on her own when Kate sees one of Billie Jo's costumes for her nightclub act. Kate wants to go with Billie Jo to see what this act is all about. At the club, Kate can't help but be the typical stage mother. But Kate may have a bigger problem when she telephones home to see how things are going. Sam answers and tells her not to worry since "there's nothing you can do about it now". Sam is referring to the fact that Steve became sick after eating Betty Jo's cooking. Kate jumps to the wrong conclusion and rushes back home to save Betty Jo from what she considers a big mistake.
