Someone knocks at Luke's door. Staring at his computer screen, but obviously not working, he mutters quietly, "I'm working." Grace sticks her head in, and enters slowly, saying casually, "I was in the neighbourhood." Luke seems doubtful: "Really?" Grace: "No, but…makes this easier so go with it." Luke agrees. Grace: "Look, just…forget that stupid diving team. That whole rant, that was -- that was -- I mean, I --" Luke just looks at her sadly, without much in the way of expectation. She asks, "Are you gonna make me go on?" Frink: "I would." Me: "Damn straight." Frink: "Do it, Luke!" Luke just barely smiles and says, "No." She quietly says okay, and steps down to leave, but turns to say, "I talked to my mom." Luke seems surprised, and like he wants to comment, but is reluctant to. Grace smiles a little bit and says, "Finish your homework." Luke smiles a bit to himself once she's gone. Well, that was…not especially satisfying. Frink: "They have an odd relationship." Me: "I'll say."
Kevin and Beth go back to her fairly messy room, and Kevin praises her: "Wow, you are a slob! I love that in a girl!" Beth laughs: "You're sick." He says it's exactly like her room back home: "Same Cake sticker on your Discman, Ben Folds Five poster." Beth gestures to a shelf: "Yes, but the bobblehead collection is new." Kevin: "And very impressive." He thanks her for letting him come over, saying he didn't know if it was ever going to be possible to just hang out again. Then, pretending to be casual: "So…how's that 'time' thing coming?" Beth laughs in an encouraging way. He quickly adds, "I want you to know as you take this time, I'm already at…pathetically crazy about you." She tries to say something but he rushes in, adding, "And I want you to know that I am a different person now. I floss every day, except for weekends, but even dentists…" She quickly kisses him in order to shut him up. Kevin keeps his eyes open for much of it, obviously not quite believing it was that easy. She eventually climbs carefully onto his lap and they make out some more. This show needs more making out. Less trouble to recap. ["So that's why you don't recap West Wing anymore." -- Sars] But Beth quickly gets back off Kevin's lap, and flops on the bed, embarrassed, saying, "Oh, God." Kevin: "Man, from a simple conversation about dental hygiene…weird things turn you on, huh?" She throws a pillow at him. He wheels closer to the bed to kiss her again. They sort of smile nervously at each other. Kevin goes over to her CD player and puts on some makeout music. But while his back's turned to her, Beth finds herself focusing on his wheelchair, and all it implies. She looks apprehensive, but is smiling again when Kevin turns around.
