Episode Report Card Gwen: D | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Here We Go Again
By Gwen | Season 5 | Episode 1 | Aired on 10.01.2000
Annie and Eric "open a dialogue" about misdirected anger. He admits that he's angry with her, and then that he allowed Simon to TP a house. Simon's not home yet, and RevCam's worried. He only let Simon do it to get back at Annie. "That's nuts! Not to mention childish! Not to mention irresponsible! Not to mention that it's not like you at all!" Stupormom tells him. Yes, it was childish. Annie tells him to face the fact that he's angry at Mary, not her. The doorbell rings.
Here's Sgt. Michaels, the friendly neighborhood police officer who's always on duty and on RevCam's payroll, with Simon and TP enthusiast Jim. The bad news, the sergeant says, is that the boys were caught TPing the yard and that they'll have to clean up the mess. "The good news is I'm the one who got the call, so no one's looking at this as destruction of private property." Nice display of professionalism, there, Sgt. Michaels. Is RevCam really good under the desk? Remember Mary got arrested for TPing the school gym last season? Was Sgt. Michaels on duty that night? Can't these kids come up with any fresh misdemeanors? Annie woodenly tells Eric, "This is your fault, all your fault," and goes back upstairs. "Great! I thought it was my fault," jokes goofy Jim. He explains that he dropped his crutches, and Simon stopped to help him while the other boys ran away from Sgt. Michaels. Simon asks if they can have their lecture over apple pie, and RevCam makes a joke about punishing oneself. The boys walk off the set as the doorbell rings AGAIN. It's Andrew Nayloss, looking sort of like a young Charlie Sexton in his black shirt and off-white jacket. Lucy runs in right on cue. RevCam goes to the kitchen. Andrew has to tell Lucy something. He asks her not to smile at him like she's doing. He tells her, among her myriad interruptions, that he got some girl pregnant in Provence. He had sex with Provence Girl because he was angry because he heard about Lucy dating so many other guys while he was gone. Oh, well. Later, Andrew. He mentions that the mother of his future child is from Ohio, originally. Shout-out to Della Femina!
In the kitchen, Jim beats the moral of the week into our skulls by telling us that he TPed the house out of anger towards his mom. Who freaking cares? Just make the cheese stop, already. Jim leaves the room to call his mother. Simon eats pie and RevCam says he was wrong. Simon was wrong, too. RevCam goes upstairs to apologize to Annie.
