By Sara M | Season 8 | Episode 7 | Aired on 11.02.2003
Finally the credits start up. Not in them? Martin, again. Maybe he's just "hanging out" (as in, broke into and mooched off of for a period of several hours), in the Treehouse of Lurv, which also remains off-screen this episode.
Today's Opening Credits Timewaster begins with an exterior shot of the CamPound -- thank God, I was getting really confused about our location for a while there -- which then turns into Kevin setting up what appears to be a home-made version of "Win, Lose, or Draw." Someone's got a fun and crazy night planned! Actually, it's just Officer Kevin's List of Kewl Tipz and Trickz for a Safe Neighborhood, like "lock your windows" and "don't put your house key in the flowerpot." Lucy enters, and the two admire the large turnout for the meeting. Then Lucy proceeds to walk in and out of the room with a plate of cookies about six times. Lucy had so little to do in this episode, they should have just sent her off to Arizona. Chandler enters, and RevCam pats him on the shoulder and tells him to go somewhere. Asslee's dad, who bears a remarkable resemblance to a frog, enters and tries to get as much camera time as he can. RevCam asks Annie if she's seen Jill's parents; she hasn't. They decide that they'll just have to wait until tomorrow's block party to meet them.
In the kitchen, Peter's mom, Paris, fills a coffee carafe with coffee from a huge banquet-style coffee dispenser that Annie probably stole from the church when no one was looking. Or, rather, when everyone was looking. At the crisp, new twenty-dollar bills RevCam slipped into their hands. They're colorful and filled with security features! As Paris turns to leave, Chandler totally walks into her, spilling coffee all over her crotch. Paris just laughs and laughs as Chandler apologizes profusely. Either Paris is such a WHORE! that her crotch region has become desensitized, or she's laughing with joy over how much money she's going to sue the Camdens for their improperly marked hazardous coffee facilities. Chandler and Paris introduce themselves to each other, then walk back into the CamDen, where RevCam uses his innate Love Detector to sense possible sexual tension between his assistant and his daughter's boyfriend's mother.
Who wears his police uniform to a Neighborhood Watch meeting? It's "that guy," also known as Kevin Kinkirk! He assumes the proper air of authority by hopping up on the stairs and ordering everyone into the CamDen so he can start. Annie and Paris have some girl talk about Chandler on their way in. Paris asks Annie if he's too young for her. Annie says that her opinion isn't what's important. You know, because she's a woman. Paris's jaw slackens to express emotion.
