still worried about minnie's wild behavior, luke (without consulting becky) hires nanny sue, a nanny with her own tv show, who goes into people's homes and they wind up "sobbing on her shoulder and asking, 'nanny sue, how can we be better people?'" when becky comes home and finds out what he did, she is infuriated with luke because he didn't consult with her first about it. she admits that she had been talking to elinor about similar problems with minnie. this angers luke for he didn't want his mother to have anything to do with them after what she did in insulting both becky and annabel. before a fight could break out, nanny sue calls them to their senses and makes a surprise assessment. she identifies both luke's fears with having a second child and his issues with his mother, elinor. nanny sue admits that she secretly went undercover to observe the family's behavior at a mall they went to, even before she was called in to assess minnie's behavior. becky and luke are both shocked by this confession since they didn't know that she had gone undercover beforehand. luke is relieved when nanny sue tells him that she knew he had nothing to do with it because he tried hard not to spoil his daughter. she also admits she must confront becky as a favor to graham and jane, revealing they're the ones who called her. she is nervous when nanny sue admitted that she had observed becky's own behavior in a toy store and suspected she was responsible for minnie's bad behavior. her buying designer made clothing, fighting with minnie for an expensive toy pony that she wanted so bad and her refusal to let go of it, proved nanny sue's point. becky defended herself by admitting she had originally refused to buy it for minnie and angrily tried to remind her about financial trouble she and luke are both in. while nanny sue agreed, she mentions it didn't excuse for the fact that when she caved in, it further supported her suspicion. she makes becky see that in her spoiling minnie too much: she played a serious role in her bad behavior. nanny sue is the first person to ask becky if she's considered the possibility she might have a shopping addiction. becky tries to deny it, claiming she doesn't have an addiction much to nanny sue's amusement. however, minnie's piped up comments of items do nothing to dissuade anyone of that notion and further humiliates her. feeling betrayed by her own daughter, becky finally admits that she does and had a hard time learning when to stop. she also realizes her own inability to take responsibility for her actions is what lead to her relationship with her parents being strained and how her spoiling contributed to minnie's bad behavior are the real reasons why they've had been banned from previous christmas grottos. ironically, becky realizes the woman she had been talking to at the mall was nanny sue with children of her own and how it was similar to what elinor and even her own parents had told her that all minnie really needs is discipline. after she agrees to go to "shopaholics boot camp" and seek help, becky and luke can move forward with the idea of expanding their family...if only they can survive the "surprise" party, which over two million people in london have found out about, which becky did try to keep a secret.
