Seed

- Season 1

(2013)

Harry becomes an overnight father figure to nine-year-old Billy and teenage Anastasia, who both seem to be the product of Harry's past foray into sperm donation. Meanwhile Harry meets Rose, a beautiful, if neurotic, single woman who's out to have a baby on her own, and who believes Harry may have what she needs to get pregnant.

Harry helps Billy's moms, Zoey and Michelle, to encourage Billy to be cooler at school. Meanwhile Jonathan and Janet fear their daughter Anastasia may be failing French, and administer an I.Q. test to Harry, fearing she got the 'dumb gene' from him. Harry and Rose square off about the future of Rose's potential child.

Harry signs Billy up for rhythmic gymnastics, so that Harry can hook up with the hot new gymnastics teacher. Meanwhile, Jonathan offers Harry $5,000 to disappear from his daughter's life. Rose strikes up a friendship with Irene, who Harry fears will tell Rose all of Harry's dirty secrets.

It's fashion week, and Harry's scheduled once-a-year hookup with a hot fashion model will be the exact afternoon as Rose's ultrasound, a milestone that Harry doesn't want to miss. Meanwhile, Jonathan discovers that Anastasia has revealed her sperm-donor roots to her entire school, and Harry inadvertently teaches Billy how to judge people on appearance.

Zoey pressures Billy to become the best at his school's grapefruit sales competition. Billy seeks help from Luke, the 18-year-old who's dating Anastasia, and has the character traits of Harry. Meanwhile, Anastasia pawns off her homework on Rose, who tests her maternal instincts on an electronic baby.

When Rose competes for a big promotion at work, Harry recommends that she hide her pregnancy for the sake of her career. Janet lets it slip to Harry that she and Jonathan schedule their sex life, and when Jonathan finds out, he cuts his wife off. Meanwhile, Billy and Zoey's night-time fears are realized when they discover their home has been broken into.

Harry can't believe that Rose is actively dating while pregnant, and he tries to uncover the true motives of her new, super-hot boyfriend. Meanwhile, Anastasia discovers that Jonathan is "part of the establishment," and wants nothing to do with her father's wealth and lifestyle. Billy gives Harry lice, and Harry capitalizes on Zoey and Michelle's guilt.

When Janet diagnoses Harry with sympathetic pregnancy, Rose finds that she's competing for sympathy with her new, narcissistic belly-buddy, Harry. Meanwhile, Zoey and Michelle rejoice after finding a babysitter Harry can't hit on - because she's a lesbian. Janet discovers Jonathan has been seeing another therapist behind her back, and wonders what else he's hiding.

As a former nerd, Rose worries that her Lamaze class will be high school all over again. Fortunately, Harry thrived in high school, and is ready to help out. Meanwhile, Anastasia plans for her own school's formal dance, and her parents each try to capture the few parent-child milestones they have left. Michelle and Harry realize that they dated the same woman years ago.

When Rose needs a place to stay, Harry reluctantly agrees to put her up, but soon finds that Rose has a video-game-playing, junk-food-eating bachelor side he never knew about. Meanwhile, Zoey reveals she never told her grandmother that she was gay - or married to Michelle - just as old Baba pays a visit. Janet goes behind Jonathan's back in her strategy to get a good deal on a new car.

When Harry runs into a woman he's desired for ages, he tells her that he's married to Rose - it's the only thing that turns this home-wrecker on. Meanwhile, Jonathan and Janet create a fake social media account to connect with their daughter. And when Michelle believes that Harry may be objectifying and ogling Zoey, she pressures him to be more of a gentleman.

As Harry and Rose prepare for a pre-school interview, Harry learns that Rose lied on the application, covering up what she perceives to be Harry's biggest flaws. Meanwhile, Michelle and Zoey realize that Billy is old enough for "the talk," but can't agree on how to go about it. Janet and Jonathan leave their home empty, and Harry takes advantage of their absence.

While rehearsing for labour, Rose grows frustrated with Harry's abilities as a birthing partner. Meanwhile, Zoey and Michelle decide whether or not now is the best time for them to have another child of their own. Anastasia feels betrayed when she finds out that Jonathan wasn't there for her own birth.
