Title | Director | Writer | Original airdate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 52 | 1 | "The Trouble with Jason" | |||

| 54 | 3 | "The Bully" | |||
|
Chip becomes the target of a bully, and Allie learns that peaceful negotiations aren't always the answer. Notes: This is the first episode where Kate is seen in a hospital bed, which was used as a storyline to hide the fact that Susan Saint James was pregnant at the time. Most likely to compensate for Susan's inability to appear standing in profile, this was the first of a series of episodes with introductory dialogues between Kate and Allie's children, rather than Kate and Allie. Those introductions that included Kate and Allie during this period had Kate engaged in activities which served to hide her pregnant condition (e.g., playing on a see saw). |
