Larry wants to make a good impression following a promotion to the Chronicle's investigative team. He hopes to use Harriette's policeman husband as his ticket to a major scoop.
Balki invites Gina, a pregnant friend, to stay with him and Larry while her husband is out of town. Already in a bad mood from having to share the sofa with Balki, Larry goes into a panic when he learns that Gina could go into labor at any moment.
Balki wants to get his driver's license, but Mr. Twinkacetti doesn't think he can do it. Larry is so confident that he can, that he bets $50 and offers Balki his car.
