Doug and Susie are about to become first-time parents and Doug is very proud of how he has just handled what surely would have been a terrible threat to their new baby – the family cat. In his enthusiasm to share every detail of the day’s successful euthanasia event, he blithely fails to see how his very pregnant wife feels about it. When Eve, (Susie’s best friend), arrives to add insult to Susie’s injury, she and Doug become stuck over the proper way to memorialize the cat.
