In the CamKitchen, the CamRents are freely discussing the Hamiltons' marital problems. Where did they stash the Hamiltons, anyway? They're nowhere to be seen. I love it when Annie says, "We have to do something about Patricia and Morgan." Yeah, that's one possibility. Or else you could, you know, butt the hell out of it and not fuck up their relationship even more. The CamRents' discussion of strategy is sidelined somewhat by the fact that Annie becomes fixated on the idea that she didn't make any mistakes dealing with Eric this past year. Right, and I'm Brenda Hampton. The CamDorks decide that Eric will counsel Patricia while Annie talks to Morgan.
Lucy is talking to some guy down at Crawford Clown College. I think he's one of her professors, but he could be her academic advisor. Is that what they're called? We never had them at my school. Oh, and at my school, professors weren't allowed to put students on academic probation, which is what this guy is threatening to do to Lucy. It seems her schoolwork has been slipping -- in the past two weeks since she got engaged. What the hell? Seriously, I've taken year-long courses where my entire mark consisted of two big essays and a midterm exam. I don't know what kind of grade-school approach they take at the Clown College to enable Lucy's course grade to drop two notches in two weeks. Her prof advises her to take an "incomplete" in the course rather than jeopardize the rest of her work. However, he does caution her that most students he's known who have done that never return to school. I try my hardest to care even one iota, but that task is beyond me.
Down on the Promenade, Ruthie and Ben are checking out chicks. No, it's not Ruthie's coming out episode, although that would be interesting. Ruthie is just trying to get Ben a girlfriend. She insists that he requires one, despite the fact that he doesn't seem to care much about it one way or the other. Maybe he's discovered Dopey's cache of discarded Hello Kitty porn and a tub of hair greasification product, and he's totally satisfied by that.
Down at Flick's, Simon and Asslee buy two tickets for a movie called Sammy The Squirrel Takes A Holiday. Simon comments that watching this squirrel movie for two hours guarantees that he and Asslee won't be thinking about sex. That's some of the stupidest logic I've ever heard, but look at the source.
Kevin is trying to comfort Roxanne, who's being really rude to him. Of course, he is the T-1000, and super-annoying. The worst part is when Roxanne says that she doesn't want to talk to Chandler right now, but as soon as her back is turned, Kevin calls him anyway. Patriarch knows best, I suppose.
