Lucy runs around The Treehouse of Lurv, wearing a little sweater with a long shirt under it. It's not a bad fashion choice per se, but on Lucy it looks terrible. Maybe it's because the sleeves extend well past her fingers and down to her knees. Damn, Lucy -- I know how difficult it can be for the shorter-statured yet larger-breasted woman to find a shirt that fits her chest but isn't monstrously large on the rest of her, but I think you can do a little better. Kevin offers to do a bunch of chores for Lucy, saying that he'd "do anything" for her. "That's so sweet," Lucy says condescendingly. She tells Kevin that he is a great husband and she loves being married to him. We also see that she has a hole in her sweater. Way to go, wardrobe department! Just another jewel in your crown of fashion accidents. Kevin smirks. Lucy leaves, and Kevin's smirk turns upside down into a wince as The Soprano Saxophone of Upcoming Bad Conversations plays.
Peter walks into Chandler's office. Chandler is on the phone, but when he sees Peter, he hangs it up. That's great -- now some old lady is going to answer the phone and no one's going to be on the other line and she's going to cry because she's so lonely, and when the phone rang she really thought things were going to change for her, but all she hears is a dial tone and that just reminds her of how alone in this world she really is. Anyway, Peter's saying something about how he thought Chandler might be lonely without Paris around. And Peter was planning on curing Chandler's lack of female companionship how, exactly? Chandler points out that Paris is only going to be gone for one day, so he's not really too broken up about it. Peter says he thought that his mother was just lying to him about going on a one-day business trip and that she was really sneaking away on a scandalous vacation with Chandler. To prove his theory, he was checking to see if Chandler was still in Glenoak. And he is, so Peter was wrong. But he still thinks his mother was lying about the trip. Chandler asks Peter why he would think his mother would lie to him. "Sometimes, parents lie to their kids," Peter replies. Yeah, parents with good family values, maybe, but not my awful heathen parents.
RevCam's just getting off the phone when Annie rushes into his office, housecoat tails a-flapping, to report that Matt has escaped from the CamPound. RevCam isn't concerned, and says that he just got off the phone with Martin's aunt, and she's stopping by his office to meet him. Annie gets all hostile about this for absolutely no reason, pointedly stating that it's "about time" they met her and why can't she just walk across the street and knock on their door. I don't know, Annie; perhaps she has the same mysterious affliction that prevented you from walking across the street to meet her?
