With the help of her dads, Michaela got the lemonade stand she wanted and proceeded to make her first batch for sale. It didn't matter it was still Spring and it wasn't hot enough to make the neighbours thirsty.

Opal bumped into Florian in the kitchen and found out he was being paid for watching over his niece pretty much every day. She was upset Puck and Tank didn't ask her or Buzz to help. They were living nearby and would do it for free, after all.

Aisling was visited by her new friend from the online chats. Tank dropped Michaela off at the Capp house - after making sure there's actual children there and not some creep, of course.

They spent the whole Sunday afternoon playing outside. Though maybe it would be better if they used the incredibly spacious garden of the Capp house instead of running across the street...

In the meantime, Autumn was spending the time with her dad instead. She was determined to learn about anger management for some reason, while Dustin was doing his research on the stock market.

Buzz and Opal didn't overstay their welcome and finally left, since Tank had a shift at the restaurant anyway. Praising the Watcher for rescue, Puck rushed upstairs to work some more on his stories.

Resourceful Michaela had a sudden urge to learn fire safety and spent the rest of Sunday afternoon reading a textbook about it. Tank would definitely applaud this skill as a chef and a military enthusiast.

Michaela's lemonade was selling great. Even Cornelia bought a cup on her way to her "friend's" house. It wasn't exactly a fortune, but Michaela still managed to save up a nice amount to her piggy bank.

In the meantime, Puck had to sit there and listen to old people being lovey-dovey with each other. He though no one is as clingy as his parents, but turns out even in Strangetown seniors just can't keep their hands off of each other.

For a moment Puck forgot he wasn't a magical fairy princess and not every animal is going to be friendly with him. Getting sprayed by a skunk was not a great start of the day, especially with the guests on the way.

Buzz and Opal showed up for a Sunday lunch and grandpa quickly bonded with Michaela. He forgot about the whole experiment thing and accepted that sweet and resourceful girl as his blood.

Opal also already felt as a part of the family, even if her beginnings with the Grunts were rocky. Tank was just glad someone keeps his father on a short leash, especially after the whole incident with Buck and his alien pregnancy. If she wasn't there who knows what would've happened.

As it turns out, Michaela particularly liked music and dance. She enjoyed all genres and could dance to literally any tune.

Puck bought her a violin to help her get musically trained and nurture her passion, but listening to her first attempts made him immediately regret this decision.

This small girl had big dreams of all the cool stuff she wanted to have. She might've been too young to work, but she could always set up a lemonade stand and earn some savings for a telescope.

Michaela: I think I'm old enough to get a job, too. Then I could buy myself any toy I'd like.

Puck: Do we not buy you enough toys...?

Tank: Honey, you're too young for work. And you need lots of skills for that.

Michaela: I am potty trained, I'm more than qualified.

Tank: True, some of my coworkers don't even have that skill...

Tank returned to work and immediately ended up with a promotion. Now he knew for sure this is what he was born for. Not any of his father's military crap. He wanted to cook and share his food with everyone.

As expected - he immediately rushed to Michaela and gave her lots of hugs. He was upset about missing her birthday, but promised he will always be there for her biggest milestones and events in life.

He adored the girl and wanted to make sure she never feels pressured to become someone she isn't to impress him. Even if he still wasn't fully confident in his parenting skills.
