Summary[]

When Raven has a vision of Booker and Nia being upset over their dad’s move, after their dad’s farewell party, she goes overboard taking it upon herself to try to do all of the fun activities Devon normally did with the kids to make sure they remain happy.[2]

Full Plot[]

It is finally the day that Devon leaves town for his new weather-anchor job in Dallas. Raven, Chelsea and the kids prepare a surprise party for him, but Devon is not easy to surprise. He surprises them instead. They celebrate together and exchange gifts. Nia gives her dad a photo album with family memories most of which end up with Booker's head getting stuck in a bucket. Devon brings them their favorite teddy bear, Admiral Snuggles. After celebrations, they say goodbyes

Raven gets a vision that Nia and Booker are sad to see their dad gone. So, she tries to step in and do all the fun adventures that the kids used to do with Devon during dad weekends. But can she handle them? She has to eat with them some extremely spicy food and watch scary movies that give her nightmares. They agree to go to the park for some fun rides. The rides turn out to be a disaster for the Baxters especially because Raven is so scared of them.

Meanwhile, Chelsea realizes that she accidentally threw away Admiral Snuggles. So, she starts working secretly with Levi to fix it or find a replacement. They eventually decide to win another Admiral Snuggle at the same theme park where Raven and the twins are at. After playing for a while, they realize that the game has been rigged, by the Carnie. After going through all the trouble, Chelsea is a little disappointed to realize that the kids didn't even care about Admiral Snuggles.

Raven has a talk with the twins about their dad leaving so that they don't set expectations for her to be exactly like their dad.
