Back at the Pool Hall, Gee and Michelle are still speaking French to each other. The Camdens are annoyed. Mary and Lucy want to go home. Gee tells Matt to drive them home. He does. I laugh at their romantic misfortunes.
Back in the CamChat, RevCam is reading some flirtatious comment from Annie while the saxophone of Old People Flirting plays. What is the comment? I don't know if I should tell you; it's pretty nasty. Fine, but don't yell at me when you throw up. "I'm talking about the full monty, Minister." Yeah, I know. This conversation is too hot for the Rev to handle, and he drops a paperclip and takes his glasses off. He tells Annie that if she weren't his wife, his face would be red. I wonder if Stephen Collins' face also turns red when he writes his erotic thrillers. But wait -- it isn't Annie talking to Eric at all, but those two Nerdy Boys! Gross! And they are enjoying themselves! Ewww! They write back something about calling RevCam "Reverend Spice Boy" from now on. We'll see if that ever catches on. RevCam says he "loves it." I don't.
The three angry Camdens walk into the house and are immediately lectured by Annie about breaking curfew. They choose not to apologize, but to complain. Annie is all upset and runs to the RevOffice to tell the Rev to call her. "WE HAVE A PROBLEM," she says.
Pool Hall time, and here comes the Rev. He finds Gee with Michelle, grabs the cigarette out of Gee's hand, and crushes it out like a rude bastard. He tells Gee they need to talk, and the Accordion of French People Getting Caught Doing Things That Are Wrong takes us to commercial.
Back from the commercial, we're still in the pool hall. The Rev and Gee are talking at a table. Gee is defending himself from accusations of giving children cigarettes. Gee says that the kids went through his stuff, and then tries to tell us that he smokes because the cigarette companies target the French. He says that he's trying to quit. Rev then raises the Dating My Daughters issue. Gee blames it on cultural misunderstandings. He compliments all the Camden women, except Ruthie, on being intelligent and attractive. Then he praises Matt's taste in women. At this point, the Rev must know that he's being BSed. Then Gee invites him to play pool, and the Rev accepts.
The next day, Annie is laughing at the Rev for believing Gee's excuses. Annie feels uncomfortable with Gee in the same house as Mary and Lucy. RevCam's sure that when they find out that Gee has a girlfriend in France, they'll be fine. The girlfriend didn't stop him from trying to date a stewardess, but I guess we're supposed to forget that happened. Simon and Ruthie walk in, and Ruthie asks when they're "getting rid of the pig." Probably not until you go to college, Ruthie -- unfortunately for all of us. RevCam begins his lecture about snooping and smoking. Rev wants them to apologize for snooping. Hypocrite. Mary and Lucy storm in and want to know when Gee gets the boot. Rev says that they misunderstood Gee, but Mary points out that Gee took them to the pool hall in a cab, so what were they supposed to think? Well, I would think, "My date is cheap and doesn't even have his own car," but apparently in Glenoak a different impression entirely is given by these things.
