Lucy tries to make conversation. "So, you're…" she begins. "Divorced!" Heather finishes. Wow, she really found a way to sneak that right into the conversation, didn't she? For all we know, Lucy was going to say "deaf" in order to provide us with the proper exposition. Heather says some more stuff after that, but -- and I know this isn't very politically correct of me to say -- I really can't understand a word of what she's saying. I remember her being a lot clearer and easier to understand when she used to be on this show. Lucy says she wishes that Matt and PC were going to be at the wedding, and Heather is confused; why would Matt and PC fly out all this way and then not go to the wedding? This causes Kevin, Lucy, and Simon to all look at each other stupidly.
Cut to Lucy and Simon walking back to the CamPound and talking about how Matt and PC must have flown out to Glenoak to surprise them. Lucy screams that she doesn't need any surprises, since she's pregnant. Matt strolls up and gives his siblings a hug and asks Simon how he's doing a few hours before his wedding. Simon says he's doing great, and Lucy butts in that just the night before, Simon and Rose were screaming at each other and not doing great at all. Very supportive of you, Lucy. Matt pats his brother on the back and says he's sure things will go smoothly. "Then I'll be married for the rest of my life to the woman that I love. Lucky me. I'll be married for the rest of my life to Rose. Yep. Couldn't be happier," Simon says, sounding about as filled with joy as Annie usually is on her better days. Matt asks Simon if he's okay. "God no! What the heck am I doing?!" Simon says. Lucy gets needlessly angry and whines an "again?!" like, isn't this what you wanted, Lucy? For Simon to reconsider? What the hell is her problem? Matt orders Simon to get married, saying that he made that decision when he proposed to Rose, set a wedding date, and sent out the invitations. Lucy, on the other hand, doesn't think Simon should do something he doesn't want to, and urges him to tell Rose he doesn't want to get married before they're standing at the altar like Matt did to Heather. Except that if you actually click on that link, you'll see that it was Heather who ditched Matt.
Lucy counsels Simon to figure out what he wants now and not years from now when he wakes up next to a robot with no personality. I think she's projecting a little bit here. Matt congratulates his sister on her reverendly skills, then tells her to stop twisting Simon's mind. Simon agrees: "Matt didn't say stuff like that to you before your wedding day, did he?" "I wasn't marrying Rose, I was marrying Kevin!" Lucy says, sounding furious for no reason again. She really did grow up to be her mother, didn't she? And it's not like Kevin was any prize; he was divorced and had premarital sex and stuff before he met Lucy. But we're supposed to forget about all that, I guess, and she says, "And I loved Kevin! You ALL LOVED KEVIN!" In a hilarious shot, Matt jumps back a few steps, so frightened is he by his angry sister. Rose, by contrast, is only liked by the Camdens and Simon. And if the Camdens only like you, then you deserve unhappiness. Simon says he does love Rose, but… "But?" Lucy and Matt ask in unison. Oh, finally, this scene is getting somewhere. I'm actually interested in what he has to say next and -- oh. We've gone to a commercial.
