Just then Grace comes into the store and Joan exclaims loudly, "Grace! Shalom! I've just been reading about bat mitzvahs! You must be so stoked!" Yeah, "stoked" is written all over her face. Grace: "Yeah, I'm tingling." From up on the next level of the store, Shammy demands, "Is anyone gonna buy anything?" Grace mutters, "That was rhetorical, right?" as she helps herself to some coffee. Shammy: "Why can't you hang out in a [sic] arcade like normal delinquents?" Shut it, Shammy. Why can't you work out which article you need before a word that starts with a vowel? Joan clears her throat, but clearly the closed captioning people for this show are a little overworked, because they've indicated "Amen" instead "ahem." Hee. Joan says to Grace, "So anyway, did you know that becoming a bat mitzvah is also referred to as being called to the Torah and that only recently, women were introduced to the ceremony?" Grace: "Are you on a game show, Girardi? Look, I don't know why I agreed to wear a lame-ass dress to this thing…" Adam looks up: "Dress?" Grace: "You did not say that, Rove!" Adam: "Okay." Grace continues: "Anyway, the blade is about to fall. So…you have to come with me to buy one. Tomorrow. After school." She doesn't look at Joan, but fusses with her coffee instead. Joan, trying to contain her delight: "You need…help?" Grace: "Hey, me and a dress: it takes a village." Ha! Joan can't contain herself anymore: she smiles and claps with glee.
Will's getting dressed and Helen's straightening up the bed. Will complains about Ryan and his "low-life" lawyer. I love the colour of the blue shirt Helen's wearing, and the lighter blue T-shirt underneath it. I'm getting more into blue these days. Also red. Also -- God help me -- pink. There's clearly something wrong with me. My normal wardrobe makes Grace's look like a rainbow. Frink refers to my part of the closet as "the black hole." Helen figures his lawyer's doing her job. Will says he can't hear that excuse anymore, and complains some more. Helen wonders if they could talk about something else: "Politics, even?" She seems tired and unhappy. I want their dresser. Will says Judith's mother calls him every day asking for new information: "I know it's out there and I can't give her anything!" Helen sighs. Will says Lucyfer thinks he's getting too emotionally involved. Helen: "Oh, well, if Lucy[fer] thinks so…" Will's surprised: "Helen…" She apologizes, saying that was out of line. He leaves. She throws the last of the pillows on the bed irritably.
