When we return, Mary has dropped her little bomb on the CamRents. Predictably, RevCam goes apeshit. SuperMom's still working the reverse psychology angle. She says some very reasonable stuff about this wedding being Mary's decision. Mary's starting to see through Annie's scam, though, and she goes off on a diatribe about it, but SuperMom just asks her what kind of wedding she wants. RevCam picks this moment to interject, "Again, over my dead body!" I'm so sure that can be arranged, Eric. SuperMom does a good job of keeping her cool, and Mary stalks off. RevCam tells Annie he can't take much more, but she claims he won't have to because Mary is ready to crack. She is convinced that Mary doesn't want to marry Robbie and that this whole reverse psychology thing will eventually cause Mary to tell them why she doesn't want to go to college. If this were real life I'd be a tad skeptical, but after all, it's just 7th Heaven.
Simon pays a visit to Whiney Deena. I'm pleased to note that she's laid off the lavender lip gloss for the moment. I'm also pleased that she's moving so I won't have to look at any more fashion massacres like the pink T-shirt she's sporting in this scene. It has sleeves made of white fabric with some fugly black design on it. And if that's not enough, there's some silver iron-on crap on the chest. I'll feel bad if I find out it was designed by a legally blind person, but I have to say that this shirt has the distinction of being the ugliest piece of clothing I have ever encountered. Kudos, wardrobe people! So Deena says her mom is being transferred back east. Simon passionately declares that he hates Deena's mom's boss, and Deena concurs. I guess it's too much to hope for that we could have a fun plot where Simon and Deena kill her mom's boss or something. Nope -- instead, we get Deena apologizing for lying to Simon and then a big hug. Oh God, now I can see the back of Deena's shirt, and it's got a grey hood that doesn't match anything else on the shirt. Oh, please, make it stop!
Lucy is doing a good job of eroding what respect I still hold for her by asking Ronald what he finds attractive about her. He very sensibly points out that he doesn't know her because they just met. She looks a little crestfallen, so he feeds her the line that he'd like to get to know her better because she seems "cool and stuff." She sarcastically comments, "That's poetry." Jeez, Lucy, what do you expect from a teenage boy? I know that weird Andrew catalogued a bunch of Lucy's attributes for her, but let's not forget, he's also the one who let doors slam in her face and made out with her while his parents were standing two feet away. He's not exactly a prize either. Ronald regales her with all of Mary and Robbie's secrets. This, of course, gets her Camden busybody juices flowing, and she yells at him to get the cheque so she can rush home and meddle in Mary's business. While Ronald's off paying the bill, Lucy sees weird Andrew walk into the pool hall. She waves at him, but he's doing The Rules on her, giving her a halfhearted nod and then trying to make her jealous by putting his arm around some blonde girl. Lucy looks all chagrined, and when Ronald comes back, she says she wants to stick around a while longer. She pushes him to one side because he's blocking her view of weird Andrew. Comic it's not.
