Olivia and Cindy prepare to go to Rockfish to buy some baby clothes. Ben is over protective of Cindy doing too much. As they drive past Ike’s store, two children run in front of their car and are almost hit. Olivia takes the two little boys back to the Pickett Defense Plant where their mother’s are working.
The outside is over run with young children running around with nothing to do at the plant. Olivia goes inside to talk to Erin and ends up grilling J.D. about what he plans to do about all the children. He says that he is too busy trying to "beat Hitler not to babysit children".
Olivia decides to start her own daycare and brings a number of the children to her house. John is a bit skeptical of doing that all again. Problems arise like a little girl looking herself in the bathroom and a little boy banging on the piano but Olivia gets it all under control. She tells then stories and skips rope with them. A little boy runs off while she is preoccupied with the other kids and he sneaks into the mill and turns on one of the power saws. Ben and John discover that the mill door is open. They catch the little boy before hurts himself. Olivia realizes that she can no longer have the children at her home near the dangerous Mill.
J.D. turns one of his buildings in a tavern for his workers. Olivia catches wind of his plan and gives him a piece of her mind. She feels he has a moral obligation to look after the children of his workers instead of taking their work money by selling them alcohol.
Olivia realizes the solution to her problem. She goes down to the Pickett plant, gathers up the children in the parking lot and marches in to the tavern where she announces to J.D. that she intends to use the building as her daycare. He tries to have her thrown out but the men know that they need a daycare more than they need a tavern. J.D. says that he’d rather deal with the whole German Army than have to bargain with Olivia. He finally relents and lets her use the tavern from 7AM to 4PM.
