Coochie coochie coo is the line for the surprise replacement guest that Murphy must find out of the blue when her politician planned guest is suddenly out of commission to be on the show. Eldon is sick so Murphy has to take Avery into the office, and the staff each takes turns watching the baby, revealing surprising secrets to it. Here we learn the fate of Corky and Will, something she has kept from everyone, and obviously that will lead to the plot of another episode. This gives all of the characters a chance to show a different side of them, and each one is threatening to the previous one to be more touching. For me however, it's seeing the very staid Jim make some revealing confessions, and even Miles, along with girlfriend Audrey (Jane Leeves), gets in on the act too. Frank is dealing with issues with his parents, not seen in this episode but mentioned through a phone call he is having with them, and that is a slight distraction, but it takes a little Focus off everything going on with Murphy's baby. She has seen in the very beginning of the episode running around on the floor enjoying time with Avery, and that greatly lightens her up as well. All in all, a wonderful and touching episode.
