** Jake and Amy are unable to conceive after six months of constantly trying, but both agree that it's not the end and their relationship ultimately grows stronger for it. Jake also brings up the possibility of artificial insemination or adopting a kid.
** All of Charles and Rosa's efforts to find someone to adopt the guinea pigs fall through, and the population eventually grows so large they can't hide them anymore. Terry decides to have the whole group handed over to government scientists, but ensures that they'll only be involved in noninvasive procedures like running mazes.
