Template:InfoboxEpisode"The Emma Dilemma", also known as "The Playdate's the Thing" is the fourteenth episode of the second season of Baby Daddy.
Summary[]
Ben and Tucker set up a rival playgroup.
Plot[]
Ben tries to get Emma included in the playgroup hosted by his upstairs neighbor Kayla, who still has a grudge against him and refuses to let Emma join. Ben tells Bonnie to sneak into her apartment with Emma because she doesn't know she's his mom and all babies look the same according to Ben, but eventually she found out so Ben hosts his own playgroup which didn't work out well. Danny seriously doesn't understand the signals Amy gives him, so Riley helps him understand the language of "girl" to patch things up with her and starts a salsa dance lesson which Amy likes, but Amy ends up misunderstanding them both and leaves.
Ben, Riley, Danny and Tucker goes to the bar after it's closed and gets drunk, with Riley talking some sense into the three of them (Tucker is thinking about breaking up with Vanessa and Riley says he should) Ben and Tucker go home and shouts at the fire escape. Bonnie can't stand it so she locks them both outside the fire escape while it's raining. A complaining Kayla comes to their door and Bonnie says that a good parent would make sacrifices for their children and convinces her to let Emma join the playgroup.
In the end, Ben and Tucker discuss about last night (They both have to spoon to get warm) while Danny got Riley's name tattoed on his wrist instead of Amy's.

Trivia[]
- Kayla comes back and she still seems to have a grudge ever since On the Lamb-y.
- Tucker breaks up with Vanessa on the phone again. He did the same thing in Guys, Interrupted.
- At the end of the episode, Amy tells Danny that she can't shake the feeling that he has feelings for Riley. This is inconsistent because earlier in the series, when Danny was meeting with Amy as his therapist, they talked about his feelings for Riley a lot. So Amy already knows that he has feelings for her.
