Annie is whining to Nurse Debi about how Matt won't tell her anything about his life. Nurse Debi says she's almost sure that Matt didn't drop out of school. She can't give Annie any information about Matt's marital status, however, as she didn't even know he was married in the first place. "I think that you and your husband raised a great kid, and that should give you all the piece of mind that you need," Debi says. Annie makes weird sighing sounds in agreement.
Matt and Ruthie eat banana splits, and Ruthie asks Matt why he isn't celebrating his anniversary with his wife. That's a good question, but I probably don't want to know the answer. Matt says that Ruthie is a big part of this day, and PC knows he's here. But he won't tell Ruthie anything else, because he doesn't want to ask her to keep any more of his secrets. Ruthie asks Matt if he's going to see anyone else in the family; Matt says he's just going to fly back to New York and get back to school.
Martin chivalrously throws his coat around Asslee as she complains that what Martin is sharing with her -- a walk around a park -- is kind of a letdown. Martin asks her to hold his hand, apparently knowing that Asslee is too stupid to be able to hold a hand and talk at the same time.
RevCam comes home, bearing a lot of kugel but no information. Annie tells him to just let things go, but then Chandler and Peter bust in and demand cake. When they are offered kugel, Chandler sadly states that he should have called first. Called so that Annie would have a cake ready and waiting for their arrival? Shut up, Chandler. RevCam asks Peter where his girlfriend is; last he heard, she was going to the movies with him. Peter says Ruthie had personal plans for tonight that she wouldn't share with him. Ruthie comes home and sees that she's busted, so she runs upstairs.
Vic thanks Paris for letting him back into Peter's life. Paris asks what Vic was doing in the jewelry store today. A waitress walks up and asks if they would like coffee or dessert. Vic waves her off. She walks back to the kitchen and finds the other waiter and says that he was right to put that Ex-Lax in the rude guy's soda water. "I can't marry you, Vic!" Paris blurts out. "Who asked you?" Vic responds. Ha! He says he was at the jewelry store looking for a ring to give her as a thank-you present, but everything was too expensive. He took her out to dinner tonight because today is his third anniversary of sobriety (sweet, he gets an orange chip), not to propose. He stopped drinking because of Paris and Peter, so he wanted to celebrate the occasion with Paris, and thank her for being his inspiration to get sober. "I'm an idiot!" Paris says, then excuses herself to the bathroom, saying they'll order dessert when she returns. The waitress comes around and again asks if they want anything else; he says just the check. Huh? What about that dessert Paris wanted? Now she's going to have to eat that nasty kugel at the CamPound. Vic pulls a ring out of his jacket pocket and shakes his head sadly as The Flute of (Wisely) Deciding Against Proposing Marriage plays.
Seriously, what the hell is going on over at Angel? Why can't anyone turn into a puppet on my show? Well, besides Asslee.
