IT TAKES A VILLAGE - The last thing on Ava Gregory's (Lori Loughlin) mind was settling down and starting a family. As an ambitious woman with a close-knit circle of friends, a great house in a beautiful California beach town and a growing career as a fashion designer, her life was in full swing. But everything changed the day she learned that her sister and brother-in-law were killed in an accident, leaving Ava to raise their three children, 16-year-old Bradin (Jesse McCartney), 13-year-old Nikki (Kay Panabaker) and 9-year-old Derrick (Nick Benson). Ava and her three best friends - Johnny (Shawn Christian), Jay (Ryan Kwanten) and Susannah (Merrin Dungey) - all pitch in to help Ava provide the ultimate surrogate family for her sister's children. Taylor Cole also stars. Ian Toynton directed the episode written by Stephen Tolkin with material from an earlier draft by Stephen Tolkin and Brad Isaacs (#101 & 102).
