Matt says he can try to talk to Mary, because she listens to him. Yes, when Mary isn't moving around the world to escape her annoying family, she's listening to what they have to say. Carlos says Matt can tell Mary to be an adult and a wife and mother. But first, he should tell the CamRents about the divorce already. Matt says he can't; the news would "kill" them. Carlos points out that "kill" might not be the best word to use here, considering RevCam's crap heart. I disagree. Carlos continues that if he and Charlie could survive Mary leaving, then the much lesser-affected Camdens surely can too. Carlos says he'll call the CamRents if Matt won't, but he just thought they would rather hear the news from their son than their soon-to-be-ex son-in-law. I guess we should have known a match between a Camden and a guy who thinks about other people's feelings wouldn't work out.
Martin and Ruthie chat as they walk along the Promenade. Martin says things are going well with Zoe and that he likes her, which…WHAT?! Since when? Wasn't he accusing her of making him miss a call from his father JUST LAST WEEK? Didn't he DUMP her TWO WEEKS AGO?! Why is he still with her? Ruthie says that Zoe is "nice," which, again…we haven't seen any proof of this. But now it's time for Martin to try to convince Ruthie that Vincent isn't the man for her, because this show still hasn't figured out how infuriating and stupid these plots are. Martin points out Vincent's faults, like how his head is too big for his body and he saw him smoking once and how Vincent isn't "athletic." "I kinda thought you would end up with a jock, not a 'Vincent,'" Martin says. And what was he basing that assumption on? Ruthie's previous conquests? I don't think so. And I don't think Vincent is all that unathletic. He was a pretty good dancer, and I bet he'd be a great tight end. Martin says he thinks Ruthie could "do better" with someone who "fits in with [her] lifestyle." And then Vincent could find someone who fits in with his "lifestyle" a little better too. Someone with a penis. Ruthie says that Martin seems to feel very strongly about Ruthie breaking up with Vincent. Martin says that's because he cares.
Lucy asks her mother to "keep an eye on Savannah" while she and Kevin go to meet the "real-i-tor." Annie is happy to do whatever it takes to get her burden of a daughter out of the house, and agrees. Kevin and Lucy walk off as SamVid make their angry faces. Annie asks the twins what's wrong, and they say that they're angry at Annie for making all their brothers and sisters leave the house. They storm off into their room holding hands. Annie moves to follow, but then they slam the door in her face. I like those twins more and more each episode.
