Kevin sits on a couch in the CamDen, using a newspaper to learn how to read. Chandler walks into the room after entering the house without knocking. Upon finding out that Roxanne is around, Chandler is less than pleased, but says he will stay for dinner because he was "invited." Kevin tries to get Chandler to leave, saying that Mary will be there and all the talking will be centered on her, and not Simon, because what's going on with Mary is a bigger deal than Simon's stuff right now.
Ruthie and Peter set the table as Ruthie explains how awesome life is now that Simon killed that guy. Peter Peter Braces Needer is worried that the CamRents will not be as "excited" as Ruthie is about Mary's marriage. "What if it's the straw that breaks the Camden's back?" he asks. Oh, ho ho, that Peter is a clever little guy! Ruthie says that everything will work out in the end. Peter doesn't think that Mary is pregnant, basing his opinion on whatever Kevin thinks. Ruthie asks him if he wants to put some money on it. "I can't take your money, sweetheart," Peter responds, thinking he's in a 1940s noir.
Over in the kitchen, RevCam puts on some oven mitts and takes a pie out of the oven. Annie runs up, takes the pie out of his hands, puts it back in the oven, slams the oven door, and the then dramatically spreads herself across it. Why? I don't know. Annie suggests that RevCam can go answer the doorbell if he wants to help.
RevCam answers the door to find Carlos, who has by now abandoned doorbell-ringing for knocking. RevCam instantly remembers Carlos and invites him in. They walk to the CamDen, where Chandler and Kevin are sitting around not talking to each other. Upon seeing Carlos, Kevin loudly whispers to Chandler who it is. They are introduced to Carlos, then run away. RevCam and Carlos invite each other to sit down. RevCam asks Carlos about his family. He responds that it's "getting bigger every day!"
Kevin and Chandler run into the dining room and tell Ruthie and Peter that Carlos is here. The four of them walk into the kitchen, where Ruthie perkily says that RevCam needs Annie in the living room. Annie asks who's here, to which all four people respond in unison that it's Carlos, the homeless guy Mary brought home one Christmas. Annie looks at them as if trying to figure out if they really are all speaking at the same time or she just put the wrong mushrooms in the pasta and is hallucinating again. Roxanne, Asslee, and Lucy enter from the back door. Team One says that Carlos is in the living room talking to RevCam. Team Two expresses its surprise. Annie gets a clue that something might be up.
