Episode Report Card Aaron: B+ | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT It's a Dead Man's Party, Leave Your Body at the Door
By Aaron | Season 3 | Episode 13 | Aired on 05.31.2003
Dance club. Rico hangs out at the bar, reading a flyer while the rest of the dancers head for the exit behind him. The instructor comes over, and after some small talk he announces that there's a private party in the room later than night and everyone needs to clear out. Then he invites Rico to join him for a drink. Raise your hand if you thought the instructor was hitting on him. ["My hand is up." -- Wing Chun] Yeah. That's what I thought. Fk = 47.
Fresh from learning of his wife's death, Nate has returned to the same bar he visited the day before. So I guess it's appropriate that he's still wearing the same suit, as well. Mean-Looking Match Guy is still there, and he's still playing with matches, but Blondie 2.0 is nowhere to be found. I guess she must be out shopping for clothespins or something. Nate grabs his usual chair, and orders a shot of tequila. "Keep 'em coming," he adds. The Ironic Musical Selection Fairy (who's been gone almost as long as Gabe) drops a few quarters in the jukebox and The Doobie Brothers' "It Keeps You Running" starts playing the background just as Nate downs his shot. Tequila keeps me running, too, but it's an entirely different kind of runs. You probably didn't need to know that. Fk = 47.
Formaldehyde Fortress. Ruth is getting dressed for her wedding, and I have to say, she looks fantastic. I'd marry her. And not just because that would mean I could live with Claire. ["Uh, okay, Humbert." -- Wing Chun] And speak of the devil (albeit a really cute one), Claire herself appears in the doorway, asking when it will be time to leave for the wedding. Ruth is ecstatic that at least one of her kids wants to attend, although she is saddened to have to ask Claire to take care of Maya during the ceremony. "Where's Nate?" asks the daughter, with just the tiniest hint of irritation in her voice. "I have no idea," says Mom. "I've been trying his cell phone all afternoon, but there's no answer." Perhaps she should try calling the local Bo-Rics. "I have something for you," announces Claire, suddenly remembering the gift she's been holding this entire time. She hands over a small paper packet, which Ruth unfurls to reveal a pair of earrings. "They're antique," explains Claire, "so they're old. But I just bought them, so they're also new. And technically I'm giving them to you rather than letting you borrow them...but they're blue, right? I love you, Mom. I'm so happy that you found your soulmate." Ack! There's that word again. Even with Dawson finally off the air for good, we still can't escape it. "My sweet, darling Claire," gushes Ruth, "You don't know how much this means to me, from you." And then they hug, and Ruth reaches up to start putting on the earrings. What's that? No! Are you joking? Of course I'm not crying! I've got...smoke in my eyes. Yeah. That's it. Flick, ahh. See? Smoke. And damn you for thinking otherwise. Fk = 47.
