Episode Report Card Cate: F | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT I Love Lucy
By Cate | Season 7 | Episode 15 | Aired on 02.09.2003
As Ruthie's walking downstairs with the twins, they see Simon talking on the phone. He says, "I'm thinking we should have the all-clear by 7:15." What could he mean? The suspense is not exactly killing me.
As the CamRents open the door to their super-swanky hotel room, Annie gasps in amazement. She tells Eric there's "a hospital nearby with a really, really good cardiac unit," which is just her stupid, G-rated way of saying she's planning to sex him up, I guess. Okay, gross. Annie sees a vase filled with yellow roses. She opens the card and reads, "Dinner will be sent to the room, in gratitude for all the dinners you've cooked for me. Love, Kevin." That's nice, I guess, but wouldn't she rather have some money for all those dinners Kevin's mooched off her? You know, especially now that it looks like Eric's gonna be out of a job soon. No, it looks like Annie can be bought off with a bunch of flowers. I guess that's where Lucy gets it from. The CamRents start in with the closed-mouthed making out. I don't think there's much danger of anyone needing a trip to the cardiac ward. The only danger I see is that someone could die of boredom. And that someone could just be me.
Lucy is putting on a whole tube's worth of lip gloss while staring at herself in a makeup mirror. Then she starts to cry, which always makes me happy. What's worse, she starts talking to herself in the mirror. I'll bet you can't guess what she's talking about. Oh, you can. That's right -- Lucy only ever talks about one thing these days. Now she's lamenting the fact that she asked Kevin not to propose tonight, because the fact of the matter is that's she's really dying to get engaged on Valentine's Day. Try as I might, it's totally impossible for me to dredge up even an ounce of sympathy for this stupid twit and her non-problems.
The doorbell rings, and Lucy answers the door to find Max, who will be her driver for the evening. Poor guy.
After Lucy leaves, Simon goes to the kitchen and gets a corsage from the refrigerator. Oh, barf. I guess this means we'll be subjected to Asslee after all. Sure enough, there she is now, walking into the kitchen with Ruthie, Peter, and the twins. Everyone's dressed to go out. And what a romantic evening it promises to be, what with the twins along and all. Peter is distraught because he didn't get Ruthie a corsage. She won't go corsage-less, though, since the twins made her one. It looks halfway normal too -- for a corsage, anyway. Personally, I'd feel like a dork wearing one anywhere but to a wedding or a prom, but maybe things are different in magical Glenoak.
