Episode Report Card Sara M: D+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT Annie's BlocKKK Party
By Sara M | Season 8 | Episode 7 | Aired on 11.02.2003
Various cast members help set up for the block party, which will be taking place in the Camdens' backyard. Roxanne and Jordan walk up to Asslee and her dad. Frogdaddy thanks Roxanne for getting Asslee's earrings back. and asks if she found the people who robbed them, too. Jordan introduces himself and says that he knows the people who robbed the house, and he's "really sorry about that." About knowing people? Maybe they're Muslims, or French. Or, even worse, French Muslims. Roxanne explains that Jordan was robbing homes with a vicious gang of older boys, although he didn't rob Asslee's house. He did, however, accept her stolen earrings that his friends gave to him when they realized how hideously ugly and devoid of any market value they were. Jordan says he "can't make up for what [he] did to the other people that [sic] [he] robbed," but he'd like to make up for what happened to Asslee's family. Huh? I think he can totally make up for what he did to the other people he robbed, like by going to jail. Fred would probably argue for the death penalty. Asslee's dad gives Jordan a ridiculous stern glare, then agrees to let him help them clean up their ransacked home later. Right now, he can help them put cans of soda into big metal tubs filled with ice, like, why didn't they just get a big cooler? Metal tubs of ice are so 1930s block party.
Det. Michaels walks up and asks Roxanne if she still thinks Jordan is a good kid. She says that he's trying to be one, and that's good enough for her. Det. Michaels lets out a condescending laugh and walks away as Mrs. Bink enters the party. She asks Lucy where the "stud" Lucy was going to fix her up with is. She then expresses hope that it isn't Chandler. Ha! Lucy says that she wants Mrs. Bink to meet Fred, but he's not here yet. Mrs. Bink says that's great because now she has time for a drink. And she, like us all, needs at least one stiff drink before she can even begin to deal with the Camdens. Kevin agrees with Lucy that Mrs. Bink and Fred will be perfect for each other. Because they're both old, I guess.
We see a shot of the twins, completely unsupervised, standing next to the open flames of the banquet serving dishes, forcing Happy to eat chicken fingers. I'm not a dog or a toddler owner, but I still know that nothing about that situation can be healthy. When Happy whines in protest, Asslee's ears perk up, and she asks her dad if he just said something. Then RevCam, Ruthie, Peter, and the Duprees make their grand entrance through the dark side yard. It's safer coming in through there than the brightly-lit house, I guess.
