Episode Report Card Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Pregnant cause
By Daniel | Season 9 | Episode 4 | Aired on 10.03.2004
So Leanne takes her sorry plotline out the door, and in comes Lucy, who assumes the pregnant girl is one of RevCam's plots to scare Simon straight (no pun intended), and it must be really aggravating for RevCam that all his family members think he just uses members of the congregation for his own selfish ends. ["Considering how regularly he does exactly that, it's his own fault. I hate this goddamn show." -- Sars] And then RevCam explains the situation to Lucy, like maybe Leanne might not appreciate RevCam blabbing to everyone her very personal situation, like what kind of a joke reverend is RevCam anyway? And speaking of people too young to have children, Lucy is completely bummed out by the very thought of someone deciding to give her baby up for adoption, like that is some fairy-tale world Lucy lives in. RevCam hugs her and says, "I don't want to make you sad, you make me smile every time I see you," which I don't believe anyone has ever said to Lucy ever. And she says she got some paper back, and she "made an A," like maybe you might say, "I got an A" or "the professor gave me an A" but I can't say I've ever heard anyone say "I made an A" in my lifetime, not even back when people went around saying "straight up" to each other. And apparently her paper was "part of last week's sermon," whatever that means, and RevCam asks if she wants to do this week's sermon, and she says no but she's got her teen class soon, and RevCam points out she's a few hours early, and Lucy says she wants to "get used to the place," whatever that means, and, also, Kevin worked the night shift so now he's sleeping. And RevCam looks completely NOT thrilled that she came to the office to work on the teen class she teaches at HIS church, which totally belies his claim that she makes him smile whenever he sees her. And it suddenly occurs to her that maybe RevCam needs to use his office, and she asks him that, and he admits that he needs to do a few things, and so Lucy says brightly, "Then we'll share!" And she goes about making herself right at home while RevCam busies himself making faces.
Back at the CamPound, Ruthie comes strolling out of the house. And you know what? I'm just going to say it: I think Mackenzie whatever her name is will be quite pretty when she grows up. I know, I know; that's not what you figured I'd say. In fact, writing those words made me throw up in my mouth a little. But that's what I think. She still can't act; witness her very obviously waiting for her cue, the twirpings of a bird in distress. Witness her being out-acted by "Mr. Fluffy," the neighbours' cat suddenly prowling around, to whom she says, "No bird today." Mr. Fluffy is all, "Whatever!" and struts off, more than likely to chew on some iPod headphones, like one cat I know who will go back to the humane society like THAT if he isn't careful.
