Parks and Recreation: Who's Pregnant?

In the Parks and Recreation season finale, “Are You Better Off?,” after an office retreat at Ron’s cabin to discuss Pawnee’s Founders’ Week, Andy finds a positive pregnancy test in the trash after he goes back to the cabin to find his sweatshirt.  One of the five women at the cabin (Leslie, April, Mona-Lisa, Ann, or Donna) must be pregnant and Andy’s detective FBI ego, Bert Macklin, must find out who is. 

He immediately rules out April because he says she would have told him.  However, April is acting strange and hiding something from Andy.  After finding out Ann isn’t pregnant, they team up to find out who is pregnant.  After interrupting and asking the potential mothers if they are pregnant in the most awkward situation, for example, during a town hall meeting, they figure it can be the only person they haven’t asked, April.

While Ann and Andy’s wild goose hunt is going on, Leslie is dealing with the backlash of her first year in office.  At the town hall meeting, where Leslie ask the citizens of Pawnee if they are better off than they were last year, she receives criticism for her previous decisions.  Led by Sweetums representative, Kathryn Pinewood, who is still mad about Leslie regulating soda sizes, other citizens complain about Leslie’s past decisions in the last year, including requiring the sanitation department to hire women and senior sex education.  Her only support is when she accidentally supported a porn movie shop, which causes disdain from the conservative Pawnee citizens.

At the Founders’ Day Parade, opponents of Leslie make up a float mocking her with an enormous nagging Leslie.  Her opponents ask to recall her from the seat.  Instead of being upset by it, with the support of Ben, she brings on the challenge and focuses on her government work.

While we’ll have to wait until next season to see if Leslie will be recalled, we also will have to find out who is opening a competitor to Tom’s Rent-A-Swag after he won’t sell his business (Spoiler alert, it is not Diddy). We do, however, find out who is pregnancy test it was in this episode.  After confronting April, she admits that she got in to veterinarian school in Bloomington, IN.  Andy supports her.  The episodes ends however with Ron’s girlfriend running in saying she has something she needs to talk about to Ron, leading viewers to think that Ron is about to be a father.
