A woman from Charlie's past returns to tell him that he's the father of her ten-year-old son. Charlie agrees to spend some time with the bratty kid, with the sole intention of taking him to get a paternity test. The appearance of the child brings up the topic of abortion, and Mac tries to learn more about the issue. He meets a pro-life protester named Megan, whom he tries to impress by pretending to be very interested in the cause.
