Episode Report Card Sara M: D | 12 USERS: B+ YOU GRADE IT And Away They Blow...

Ruthie is bringing The Da Vinci Code, a cell phone (and charger, I assume -- that counts as one item), and breath spray. At least, I'm assuming it's breath spray since RevCam rudely takes it upon himself to spray a nice big dose into his mouth. Judging by his inability to tell a bat and a flashlight apart, it might very well be bug spray. I hope so.
Kevin's next. As RevCam so helpfully points out to us, he's bringing a cell phone (but is he bringing a charger? And if so, would that count as two items? I just don't know! I hate it when series finales leave loose ends like this), what looks like a huge jug of water but I hope for his sake is vodka, and a paper bag full of money. ["Wait, money counts as one of your items? And nobody else brought any? I guess that would be the vow of poverty." -- Miss Alli]
Lucy is bringing her wedding photo album, a fishing rod, and a stupid bracelet. I just remembered that this time during the last series finale, Lucy announced she was pregnant with twins. While Matt and Mary apparently had their twins off-camera, Lucy miscarried both of hers, and I'm sure that storyline was done with the stellar acting and compassionate storytelling we've all come to expect from this show.
There's a shot of Happy sitting outside the RV with a bone in her mouth. I haven't see her go into the RV yet, so let's hope she's left behind with Martin's dad. And with Martin, who apparently pissed off Brenda something fierce and went from being the best kid in the whole wide world to a total loser deadbeat dad and the only person in town who doesn't get to travel in the RV.
Annie is bringing a toolbox (hey, remember when this show had that one progressive thing about Annie and Lucy being good with tools?), a shitty scrapbook with pictures of the original cast in it, which I thought was sweet, and I do appreciate Brenda exercising some self-control and not blurring Mary's face in the photos. Annie's third item is a bottle of champagne wrapped in a yellow bag. She nods her head in the other direction with a sly look on her face, so I'm guessing they're going off to have some family fun sex. But no, she leads him to the back of the RV, where someone has written "7th Heaven" on the bus's ass, a perfect place for it indeed. She hands RevCam the champagne, and he christens the RV. The look of pure joy on Catherine Hicks's and Stephen Collins's faces as they realize that yes, they are finally free from this fucking show is a sight to behold. As usual, Catherine Hicks' smile is so broad it might very well be in the black hole the Duff girl feared they were all driving into.
