Episode Report Card Sara M: C+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Missing: Alice, and Eleven Cast Members
By Sara M | Season 8 | Episode 9 | Aired on 11.16.2003
Asslee stops Martin on the sidewalk and asks to talk to him. I don't even care what they say, because Mizzz has more charisma in her pinky fingernail than both of them combined. After Martin leaves, Ruthie runs up, and she and Asslee hug for no reason.
Mizzz is on the phone with RevCam, adamantly refusing his invitation for a chat. I didn't think I could like her any more than I already did, and then she had to go and do something like that. RevCam has convinced himself that, without his intervention, the parents could get Mizzz fired. Mizzz says she knows exactly which parents met with RevCam and why, and then dismisses all of their claims. The speech impediment boy would enjoy the Spanish class she's forcing him to attend because its teacher has a learning disability. I'm sure the teacher is psyched that you shared that information so freely, Mizzz. I mean, I love Mizzz and all, but I think she went a little too far there. The hypoglycemic girl and her friend only want to leave during lunch to "meet boys." That reminds me of a friend of mine who was epileptic, and would always fake seizures during our boring biology class so she could go to the nurse. And then her friends would all have to go with her in case she had another seizure on her way there. Except that we wouldn't go to the nurse, but to Taco Bell. Because nothing cures fake seizures quite like Nachos Bell Grande. RevCam says that he just wants to help her. Mizzz snaps that she's too busy worrying about her students to care about herself. RevCam uses his ability to read ahead in the script to deduce that Mizzz is especially worried about Alice Miller and her creepy stalker brother. Mizzz asks him to "stay out of it." Yeah, sure. He'll listen. Eric points out that she can't help Alice if she gets fired. "I am not victim, okay? And I don't need rescuing. Thanks anyway," Mizzz says, then hangs up on the Revster. I know I said last week that seeing Asslee hang up on Annie was the best thing I've ever seen on this show, but I think it just got replaced with Mizzz telling RevCam to stop trying to get all up in her business, and then hanging up on him. Suddenly, Gracie from The Nanny rushes in and says that her brother isn't waiting for her outside, so they can talk. The plot thickens!
And it appears to be a The Nanny mini-reunion, as Fran Drescher is now on my television screen pitching for Old Navy, the brand of clothing that never quite fits right, no matter what you try on or what size it is. Ooo, I hope Grandma Yetta will stop by. That would be so awes-- holy crap, is that Li'l Kim? Pitching for Old Navy? I thought she had "expensive taste"?
