Well, it may take two to make a baby, but it only takes one to ask for a divorce--"and her husband Jack was the one who asked--"ten minutes before she announced her pregnancy. So why did she agree to his proposal that they raise the baby together and stay married in name only, free to see other people while still providing a stable home for their child? She could blame any number of things, including hormones, panic, and the prospect of moving back in with her complete diva of a mother. In any case, despite the totally bizarre arrangement, it may not be the weirdest thing that happens in her life this year.

Lucy's about ready to start living her life on her own terms, and mother-daughter relations will never be the same again... less
