Episode Report Card Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Of Camdens
By Sara M | Season 8 | Episode 5 | Aired on 10.12.2003
Admissions Guy 2: But he's eight!Admissions Guy 1: Yeah, but sometimes he makes our lives inconvenient and doesn't behave perfectly, so according to the Camdens, we have just cause.
Simon says that Mary is really "carefree" and always happy, even though "she can't keep a job to save her life and she's broken a million hearts and married a guy that [sic] she hardly knows." If you call "gainful employment for over a year" not being able to keep a job and "maybe four" a million, then I guess this is true. But Mary trusts life, and her theory is that "if you fall off the edge of the earth, just keep falling, and eventually Gear magazine will pay you for semi-nude photos." Or the universe will embrace you and lift you up again. One of the two.
Simon can't get Lucy out of his life no matter how hard he tries. Lucy will write to him at school and send him care packages and keep him updated with the latest house information, even the stuff he doesn't want to know.
Admissions Guy 2: Like his parents' sex lives? Oh, no, wait -- he does want to know about that.
Admissions Guy 1: Is there even anything left to not want to know after that?
Then they show a picture of Ruthie.
Admissions Guy 1: I see.
Even though Lucy's head "doesn't seem to be screwed on tight…"
Admissions Guy 2: Or proportional to her body.
…she's really passionate about life and stuff. "While at first glance she may seem like just an ordinary person," Simon says rather meanly, she's actually funny and touching. A good example of this is how Lucy was the first person to say that she was mad at PaulSmith for the accident, which is totally hilarious, yet also poignant. It's too bad that Simon's telling us how his family helped him deal with the accident instead of us actually getting to see it, although it's not too surprising.
Simon "loves" SamVid, who are too young and too stupid to know what happened last summer, and so provide a welcome escape from Simon's depression. Their silliness reminds Simon how lucky he is to be alive. Annoying baby sound effects play that remind me how unlucky I am to be alive. The twins also remind Simon that life goes on, and people in his house are "coming along…behind" him. That's probably because they're stalking him. Simon feels bad about leaving them, but he's leaving them in Ruthie's capable hands.
