"American Dream Plan B" is the second episode of ''Series/CougarTown'''s sixth season.
Jules fixates on Chick's health. She forbids him from participating in a civil war reenactment, and when he sneaks out with Tom to do it anyway, she follows him and insists on participating to keep an eye on him. The reenactment is interrupted by Laurie and Travis, who find Jules to settle their argument over baby names.
Laurie and Travis have picked out the perfect baby names, but when Laurie gets up to use the bathroom, Travis reveals to Ellie that they're awful, and asks her to help ruin them. His plan is successful, but Laurie reveals she has an entire list of terrible baby names, and realizes Travis doesn't like any of them. They get into a fight and go to Jules, who confirms that they're the worst names she's ever heard.
Bobby returns after his golf tournament and he, Grayson, and Andy spend the day together. However, when Bobby reveals that the club he was playing at offered him a great job, Grayson tells Andy he has to convince Bobby to take it.
Everyone drops everything when Laurie's water breaks during her fight with Travis; having gone through her first few years without a real name herself, she refuses to give birth before naming her child, and with her entire list of names ruined, insists everyone start coming up with ideas. Travis comes up with the perfect name, and whispers it to her.

!!This episode contains examples of:
* BittersweetEnding: Bobby leaves for good this time, but he's got a great new job in Georgia, and Travis & Laurie's son is born.
* TheBusCameBack: Bobby, only so he can be PutOnABus permanently this time, having been offered a great new job in Georgia.
* ChildNamingRequest: After having to toss her list of baby names, Laurie opens the floor up to ideas because she refuses to give birth without a name.
* CouchGag: "We Pity the fool who's missing this."
* EmbarrassingFirstName: If you thought Holly naming her and Grayson's daughter "Tampa" was bad, Laurie's first choices for baby names are "Fancy" for a girl and "Macho" for a boy. Travis is absolutely appalled by them, while Ellie thrives on it. The rest of Laurie's list isn't any better, and Ellie quips that "Toast" is one of the "stronger" choices.
** Ultimately subverted, as they name their son after Bobby.
* NearAndDearBabyNaming: Travis and Laurie name their son after Bobby.
* PutOnABus: Bobby, for good this time; after his tournament in Georgia, the club offered him a job.
* WarReenactors: Chick is one for a civil war reenactment; when he walks downstairs dressed in his uniform, Travis has to check that he's aware of this first. Jules initially forbids him from going, but he sneaks out with Tom (who gets hazed by being forced to wear a dress). Jules follows him, and insists on participating to keep an eye on his health.
