Lucy doesn't understand what her doctor just told her before the scene started. So he'll tell her again, for our benefit as well as Lucy's, not like we really care. Dr. Klein says he needs to do an ultrasound, and leaves to get the machine. Matt tells Lucy that he couldn't reach Kevin or Capt. Michaels, although I don't really know why it would be important for Capt. Michaels to know about this, unless Lucy's expecting another Ruthie to happen. "I need Kevin," she whines.
Annie and the twins, arms full of hamburger stand items, approach the CamVan. RevCam's sleeping inside. Annie asks him if his sleepiness is due to mixing the cold medicine with his "regular medication," presumably whatever he takes for his heart to combat the effects of the clarified butter he so regularly ingests. RevCam asks the twins if they went to the bathroom while they were getting their food. They claim to have forgotten. This gives me hope that one day they will forget to do other bodily functions, such as breathing. RevCam eyes the hamburger Annie's chowing down on and decides he wants one, too. "You can eat those turkey sandwiches, they're made on low-fat bread," she says, punctuating her nagging with finger points. RevCam says he's sick of turkey, and Annie says he better get un-sick of it soon because Lucy is cooking Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow. RevCam says he thought they were done with Thanksgiving. "Well, don't count on it," Annie snaps while trying to stuff a hamburger in her face. RevCam leaves the car to get a burger and Annie pulls a face. How dare RevCam disobey her orders!
Dr. Klein is pleased to report to Lucy that her ultrasound looks perfectly fine. All they need to do is stop her contractions. A nurse comes in and tells Dr. Klein that he is needed in the OR, and he tells Lucy that a nurse will start her on some contraction-stopping medication and he'll be back in a half hour. A half hour? That's one quick C-section Dr. Klein is headed towards. Dr. Klein runs out of the room before Lucy can ask him questions. Matt says he can answer her questions, but all she wants to know is where Kevin is, and Matt doesn't know the answer to that. "That's the only question I need you to answer," she says. Well, I don't know how Dr. Klein was supposed to know the answer to that. But it's time for a Poignant Moment, as Lucy stares at the ultrasound and comments that her baby is tiny. "I'm supposed to protect her!" Lucy says. "You didn't do anything wrong," Matt responds. Although I'm not too sure how right eating those pork rinds was.
