Sydney is obsessed with a ball made of rubber bands. It makes Julia afraid that her daughter might have Asperger's. Kristina tries to reassure her, but has a moment of secret pleasure that there might be someone else in the family who will have similar struggles.
Julia and Joel end up in the same scary Dr. Pelikan meeting that Adam and Kristina once had, but this time the news is good -- Sydney's issues stem from her being gifted. Of course. After some reverse-Schadenfreude, Kristina and Adam recognize the gift that is their son.
