So we're here at the church, in Eric's Special Counseling Session. RevCam explains that he gathers couples from his church who have been married for a year together so they can talk. RevCam asks for volunteers. No, Robert and Patty don't want to share anything. Neither do Katie and Michael. RevCam asks if they are still living at Michael's mother's house. Way to embarrass them in front of the rest of the group, Eric. Katie nods but looks a little annoyed. RevCam asks if Bonnie has still been breaking sales records. She happily nods in the affirmative, although we all know that she's not really happy, because she works when her husband should be the one supporting the family. RevCam asks her husband, who is too ugly to get a name, if he's finishing med school this year. He says yes. RevCam states that everything is going great. Everyone nods and/or gives a one word answer. Awkward!
We're in Lucy's room, where she's chatting away about Jimmy to her friend. I guess it's her friend, but since they don't have the money to pay for a Lucy Friend this week, not even the voice of one, for all I know she's talking to the operator on the information line. Mary says that Jimmy and Rod can't call if Lucy is on the phone. Lucy says that she is playing "hard to reach" until she figures out which one she wants. Mary looks annoyed. Me too.
Rod's trying to call Lucy, but her line is busy.
Jimmy is trying to call Lucy as he looks at a picture of her. The line is busy. He has no reaction.
Mary walks into the hall. Matt runs after her. It sounds like he calls her "babe." After three rewinds, it still sounds like "babe." I know I'm always calling my brother "hottie," so this is not weird or gross at all. Matt tells Mary to tell Lucy to get back with Jimmy. Mary says that neither Jimmy nor Rod is right for Lucy. Matt says Lucy has to choose one. Simon walks up and asks if anyone wants to place a bet on who Lucy will choose. Guys, get out of your sister's love life. Seriously, it's getting weird. Matt says he won't because Annie and Eric won't like it. Simon points out that they're both busy, and best of all, they're busy together. Shudder. Mary says that doesn't make it okay to gamble on their sister. Matt grabs Simon's arm and says "no betting." Simon says that no money has to be involved; the winner will just get the glory of winning. Ruthie runs out and is all excited that "Lester" is laying eggs. I'm upset because I once had a lizard named Lester when I was ten. I wonder if I was also annoying, loud, and rude. I make a mental note to apologize to anyone who may have had contact with me then, just in case. Simon and Ruthie have a conversation about males not being able to lay eggs. My Frappuccino just ran out, so I'm too upset at the prospect of recapping without my favorite drink to summarize that pointless time filler. Mary and Ruthie leave to watch the Laying of the Eggs. Matt says that he's not betting anything, but he's going with Jimmy. Simon says he's kidding himself. Yes -- about Jimmy, and about so many, many, other things. Ruthie pokes her head out into the hallway and says that she and Simon are betting on Rod. Go away.
