Over at the CamPound, Annie and RevCam are trying to convince the young lovers that it's hard to get married while going to medical school. Everyone's talking as if Dopey and Plot Contrivance have already decided to tie the knot. Annie talks about how great it is to get to know someone before you make a decision that will affect the rest of your life. Dopey says, "On the other hand, how much can you really know about each other if you don't make a commitment to be with each for the rest of your lives?" What the hell is that? It may not be the stupidest thing ever said on this show, but it sure does come close. Both CamRents are genuinely appalled that Dopey and PC are discussing marriage on their first date. Annie seems to think waiting six months is long enough. I think for most people, six months is still not long enough, but the rest of this show is so crazy that I'm willing to grasp onto anything that sounds even halfway sane. Matt just wants to get his future bride to the altar, so he hustles her out of the CamPound. As he's dragging her away, she throws off a casual "shalom" to the CamRents. With the kids gone, Annie and RevCam start discussing how smart Dopey is. That makes it totally obvious that they're not thinking about what they're saying; they're too freaked out that Sarah is Jewish.
Outside the CamPound, Plot Contrivance is upset because Dopey hasn't told his parents that she's Jewish. She decides it's because he doesn't think their relationship is going anywhere. Hey, if someone I were taking out started whining like that before the second date even gets off the ground, there would be no second date. Dopey puts a temporary stop to all the terrible dialogue when he starts making out with her, right there in front of the CamPound. He warns her that his entire family is probably spying on them from the CamPound.
Sure enough, he's right. There they all are at the window, not even bothering to be subtle about it. Annie wants RevCam to go, like, stalk them, before they "do something they may regret for the rest of their lives." Eric hesitates, until Ruthie informs him that the lovebirds are in Dopey's car. This galvanizes RevCam into action, and he rushes out the door. The DopeMobile is just pulling out into the street, so RevCam runs after it. I keep expecting him to speed up to a bionic man pace and catch the DopeMobile, but it doesn't happen. You'd think Dopey or Plot Contrivance might have noticed this crazy man trying to catch up with them, but "ability to see the obvious" must not be one of their idiot savant talents.
