Episode Report Card Sara M: D+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Annie's BlocKKK Party
By Sara M | Season 8 | Episode 7 | Aired on 11.02.2003
Up in the attic, Ruthie's lame clear phone ring-a-ling-lings. It's Jill, calling to inform Ruthie, in her snottiest tone, that her parents didn't go to the meeting. Ruthie whines that her parents were "really looking forward" to meeting Jill's parents. "Do they know my parents are Muslim?" Jill asks. Nope. "Why not?" Jill demands. Ruthie says that she didn't tell her parents because it's not as important as Jill seems to think it is. Jill says that her parents were right not to go to the meeting, and about everyone hating them there. Then we see Ruthie and Jill together in a lame split screen, which, in this particular case, kind of looks one of those "Separated at Birth?" side-by-side pictures. Princess Jill announces that her parents have decided not to go to the block party because no one will like them once they find out that they're Muslim, and Ruthie must think that too, otherwise she would have made a rooftop announcement about her new friends' religious beliefs. Ruthie asks what she's supposed to tell her parents about the Duprees canceling the party in their honor. "You were supposed to tell them that my family was Muslim," Jill snots, then hangs up without saying goodbye. Hey, do you think that Jill maybe has a little bit of a victim complex?
Asslee's dad and Kevin enter his house, which has been ransacked. Frogdaddy calls out for his daughter with his annoying whiny voice until she comes in and says she's fine; she wasn't in the house when it was robbed. They hug, and Asslee explains that she found the house like this and immediately called the cops. Asslee's dad wonders who the culprits could be; Det. Michaels comes out of nowhere to say that neighbors saw "three young men" leaving the house, which fits the description of the suspects of other house robberies in the area. "What kind of kids do this?" Asslee's dad asks. Apparently, kids who like costume jewelry, as Asslee explains that all of her jewelry, including the earrings Simon gave her, is gone. The local pawn shop should give the thieves a tidy sum of a nickel for that lot. Asslee sobs and hugs her father, hiding her face so we can't see that it's completely free of actual tears. Kevin smirks sympathetically. Asslee's dad says that Asslee's mom is going to be "heartbroken" about all this. Where is she, anyway? Was she home when the robbery occurred? Poor lady's probably tied up in the closet somewhere, hoping against hope that she'll be discovered before she dies of thirst. Det. Michaels points at that at least no one was hurt. Kevin says that they look pretty hurt to him. Shut up, Kevin.
