More DescriptionTeri announces that she's pregnant as the house erupts in turmoil caused by Dev's refusal to bring his new girlfriend home to meet his friends. Flynn insists she let it go, but Teri wants a peaceful household, and wants Flynn and Dev in particular to make up. Flynn tries, but Dev refuses to make peace with his stepfather. In a parallel argument, Dev does finally introduce Lindsay to the band, only to have Kenny and Jess dislike her intensely. Lindsay shakes it off, but the friction creates stress for Dev and, by extension, Teri.On Halloween, still a couple of months before she's due, Teri goes into premature labor. Everyone gathers at the hospital to meet Flynn the following afternoon to see the newest addition: Gunter, in the Neonatal ICU, but Flynn confesses there were complications and Teri didn't make it. Enraged, Dev storms off. Bryan goes with him and mostly calms him down, but also prepares him that Flynn is most likely his guardian now. He softens the blow with a reminder that Dev will be 18 in less than 6 months.Later, after the funeral and Gunter is finally home, Dev confronts Flynn with a plan: he's graduating from high school in December and leaving for college in January. Flynn reminds him he's a minor and agrees with strings attached. Dev has no choice but accept Flynn's conditions.When Dev tells Lindsay he's leaving, she panics. She's been slowly helping him overcome his shyness and leading him into what a real relationship would be, but she isn't ready. Desperate, Lindsay confesses she's a nymphomaniac - the last thing Dev wants to hear as Teri taught him abstinence. Lindsay finally leads Dev to the conclusion that he's the only one who can help her, and he's determined to see her through the next several years. He wants to 'fix' her. Lindsay, on the other hand, has slightly different plans.
