Episode Report Card Deborah: C- | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT "Can You See Them / See Right Through Them"

Joan's standing near a table of food, snacking away, when Kevin wheels up. Frink: "Well, they heard you about the hair." Me: "I don't think that's what I was saying…" Actually, I had to do a double take, because suddenly Kevin has Rob Lowe's hair. (And not the good, short, snappy, The West Wing Season Two hair. You know the hair I mean.) This? I…dunno about this. I mean, I've been lobbying for a haircut forever, but this isn't quite what I had in mind. It's pretty…poufy. Lotta mousse and spray, I'd say. Which, after the flat pudding-bowl cut, is rather a shock. It's total anchorman hair, but maybe for someone twenty years older. I wonder what Lily will think of it. I imagine she'll have something pithy to say. I also understand that some of the cut hair was sold by someone on eBay to raise money for a Huntington's disease charity. Apparently someone spent $51.00 USD for a bag of Jason Ritter's hair and an autographed set of sides. I can't imagine buying a bag of anyone's hair, but whatever. Joan (who's wearing the watch The Duff gave her): "What's with the Storm hair?" Kevin: "Oh, they like the way it catches the light." Uh, what? He also seems to be wearing clear lip gloss. Joan: "Are you wearing eyeliner?" Kevin coughs nervously and changes the subject: "Look, I know how much you hate doing this, so…thanks." As they head for the set, Joan says, "I'm sure Barbie's over the moon. She actually likes being the centre of the universe." Kevin tells Joan not to be so hard on The Duff: "We were talking earlier. She said you changed her life." The director asks everyone to get in place, and Joan asks Kevin what else The Duff said. Kevin says it was off the record, adding, "Let's just say, if I gush over you a little during the interview, it might actually be sincere. I said 'might.'" Joan looks a little panicked as the director starts counting down.
Joan and Adam are walking through the halls together. Adam's got his shades on and people are still marveling openly at Joan and greeting her. Adam: "You know, if we were married, I would be Mr. Joan Girardi." And he seems really pleased about it, too. I love Adam. Joan says this is about as much fun as walking around there naked. Adam says she did look good on TV. Joan: "I forgot my brother's name! How's your project going?" Adam: "Ah, it's okay. Michael uses words like, 'incredibly talented' and 'heir to the throne.' So it's stoke-a-rama for the Rovester." If those glasses are making you talk like that, take them off now. Joan: "Who?" Adam: "I have no idea. But you know, I do know that if my name is on a real ad campaign, I could probably write my own ticket to any college in the country." Joan, opening her locker, "Mmm, don't get ahead of yourself there, Rovester." Adam: "What, you don't think that'll happen?" Joan looks at Adam's hurt expression: "I -- I didn't mean to -- of course it'll happen." Adam smiles and puts his arm around her as they walk off.
