By Joe R | Season 1 | Episode 7 | Aired on 09.18.2005
Night falls on Agrestic. The Hodeses sit down for a nice and seemingly healthful dinner, and when they're disturbed by Pat's loud knocking on the windows, Dean gets up and closes the blinds so they don't have to look at her locked-out ass. Celia grasps Dean's hand in gratitude.
Back at the Botwins', Andy's still curled up on the couch, PTSDing his relationship with Hot Mom. Shane shows Nancy his 98 on the science test, and he shows Andy and whispers that he got two wrong, just like Andy told him to do. She goes to bed and Nancy says she heard about Andy's "little problem" earlier. Oh? Oh! So it seems Hot Mom opted out for lack of a good, hard reason to stay, then? I have to admit I missed that. Nancy twists the knife, saying it's usually a one-time thing, or so she hears, but sometimes these problems can last a long, long time. Poor Andy. Poor damaged Andy.
Nancy then steps out her front door and finds stacks and stacks of pennies resting on her water fountain. Hundreds of them, stacked orderly and deliberately. Almost as if someone was sending her a message. Somewhere across town, Heylia blurts out "I told you so" and has no idea why.
