Whoa, Baby is the 75th episode of the series and the 21st episode of the third season. It aired on March 16, 2008, in Canada on Teletoon and remains unaired in the United States.
Jen is sick of putting up with her younger stepbrothers, but her mother has some bad news from her perspective: she's having a baby with Mr. Garcia. Meanwhile, Caitlin gets a water bra to attract a guy, and Jonesy gets the inspiration from this to start a business selling breast enhancements. While his friends engage in worries about babies and breasts, Jude begins collecting aluminum so that he can turn it into a skateboard.
Plot[]
Main Plot[]
Jen is sleeping soundly on the couch when she is rudely awakened by a pea getting stuck up her nose. The proximate cause of this awakening is Diego and Robbie, who have in addition to sticking peas up her nose also drawn on her face and wafted a dirty sweat sock around her. Jen is peeved at her stepbrothers and begins to chase them around–until she spots Robbie threatening to spill a glass of orange juice all over her take-home exam. Jen tries to get him to stop, but when Robbie does so anyway she begins chasing her stepbrothers again until she trips and falls on the ground face-first, at which point she begins crying in frustration and pain.
When Jen arrives at the Big Squeeze to start her day, she still hasn't gotten all of the marker off of her face, and so looks like she has a bad case of peachfuzz. While all of her friends see her as needing to get a wax, Jonesy recognizes the handiwork of his little brothers, and mentions to Jen that he bumped into her mother, who is coming by to take her on a shopping trip. Jen is happy to hear that her mother cares about her feelings, and then goes to work to wait for the mother-daughter day to commence.
Later, Emma takes Jen to the Soft Rock Café. There, Jen vents about how the boys in her family have been driving her nuts, and about how she'd hate it if any more boys enter her life. After this, the duo go to Albatross & Finch, and Emma buys her daughter two tops. This excursion cheers Jen up, and when she meets her friends again at the Big Squeeze and happily spends some time chatting with them until Robbie lets slip that Emma is having a baby.
Jen is shocked to hear this, and when she confronts her mother Emma confirms that Robbie was telling the truth. Jen is amazed by this news, and even more astounded when it turns out that all of her friends knew already; however, soon she turns her attention to the important issue of whether the baby will be a boy or a girl. Since her mother won't be having an ultrasound until the next day, she decides to find out by putting Emma through several tests that will supposedly show whether Emma is having a boy or a girl.
These tests are completely unscientific, but they narrowly show that Emma will be giving Jen another little brother. However, Jen holds out hope for the ultrasound to show a girl, and her dreams are realized when it comes out showing exactly that. Upon hearing this, Jen is thrilled, as she knows that she won't be dealing with yet another brother, and even Jonesy is somewhat happy as he's glad to have another sibling on the way.
Sub-Plot One: The Jugs[]
Caitlin has another new crush: a guy named Sawyer. Sawyer has a girlfriend; however, the main difference between Caitlin and Sawyer's girl is that his girlfriend has rather large breasts. When Jonesy points this out to Caitlin, Caitlin is disappointed, especially when Jonesy confirms that boobs are indeed important to guys. Soon, though, Caitlin decides that she has to do something about it, and she drags Nikki off to help her shop for bras.
At Not Quite Naked, Caitlin looks through several bras before eventually selecting a water bra. While there, though, they spot Jen's mom shopping for bras before her afternoon with Jen and overhear Emma asking about maternity bras. This shocks them, and when Jonesy arrives at the table and compliments Caitlin's new breasts they ask him whether Jen's mom is pregnant. Jonesy confirms that this is true, and that Emma has been keeping it a secret from Jen so that Jen doesn't freak out and is planning to tell Jen today.
Soon, though, Caitlin's focus turns back to Sawyer's girlfriend and Jonesy's focus turns back to Caitlin's chest–until he hears that the bra cost Caitlin forty-five dollars. This news snaps Jonesy out of his trance, and he realizes that he could make a fair amount of money selling pre-stuffed bras to insecure girls. In order to do this, he drags Wyatt off with him to Not Quite Naked, where they select a multitude of bras and stuff the pockets with water balloons.
Jonesy then proceeds to set up a stand and advertise his wares. While he initially gets laughed at, in part because he models the bras on himself, he eventually does manage to snag some customers. Caitlin also decides to take Jonesy's up on his offer and purchases one of his bras due to the fact that Sawyer is not noticing her with her rationally sized breasts. While Caitlin's balloons look noticeably fake, she does manage to catch Sawyer's attention–until one of the balloons springs a leak, drowning Sawyer and revealing her deceit.
Unfortunately for Jonesy, the same thing has happened with several other women around the mall, and they angrily demand refunds. Jonesy refuses to give them satisfaction, though, so the girls throw their remaining water balloons at him. However, Jonesy is alright with this as he's getting a new baby sister and he still has a wonderful girlfriend.
Sub-Plot Two: The Cans[]
Jude has found out that Shawn White, in order to encourage recycling, is going to give away a free aluminum skateboard to anybody who collects enough aluminum cans to make the board. Naturally, he wants a piece of the action, and he begins a quest to get as many cans as humanly possible. He starts by taking cans from his friends after they finish, but soon moves on to taking unfinished sodas that people have set down and drinking them, and from there to rooting through wastebaskets for cans.
When he spots Julie's braces, Jude thinks he's found a plausible shortcut, but Julie refuses to help him with his quest. Eventually, though, Jude hits on a solution, and grabs a bunch of cans that night when he goes down to a university dorm and takes all the cans they've thrown out. Soon, Jude has enough cans to get his new skateboard, and he happily does so.

Trivia[]
- Jonesy's scam: Water bra salesman for "Jonesy's Jugs"
Reason it backfired: The water balloons inside the bras started leaking, resulting in multiple women demanding refunds. While doing so, they use the water balloons to attack Jonesy. - This episode did not air in the United States due to a high amount of suggestive content. In addition, the word "jugs" is vulgar slang for a woman's breasts.
Notes[]
- One of the Spa Ladies makes a cameo in this episode.
- The restaurant Jen and her mom are seen going to is the Soft Rock Café.
Errors[]
- Jonesy states that his family "runs strongly to boys", but the Masterson family had produced girls only. His father produced three boys: Jonesy, Diego, and Robbie. Jen's mother Emma had produced two girls: Courtney and Jen.
Episode connections[]
- A character that resembles Mike Dent, who had a major role in the episode "Girlie Boys", skates by Jude saying that Shawn White rules.
Cultural references[]
- Jonesy's scam is a reference to the character Uncle Rico from the 2004 film Napoleon Dynamite, where he did something similar. Unlike Jonesy, Uncle Rico sold breast enhancements.
