Episode Report Card Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT It's Not Always About You

Back at the CamPound, Annie and RevCam are arguing about Eric's therapy. Unseen by them, Ruthie is eavesdropping from the living room. Annie insults Eric about how much he's changed since he had his surgery and says that now he spends most of his days "contemplating his navel." RevCam has a different take on things. He tells Annie, "I think you're upset because I'm not jumping when you pull the strings." Just for good measure, he adds, "Lately, if it's not your way, it's no way. And maybe it's not even lately." Yeah! All right, Eric! And we all thought therapy wasn't doing him any good. It's too bad he couldn't have told Annie this, like, a year ago when she was banishing their kids to the unfinished Garage Treehouse. Annie becomes extremely miffed and refuses to go to Dr. Gibson's office with Eric. We see Ruthie looking horrified. It's probably because she can't believe Brenda's still pounding this stupid plot into the ground.
As if going to Kevin for advice weren't stupid enough, now Simon thinks he should approach Cecilia's father. He accuses Mr. Asslee of not approving of him, which causes the man to embark on a tirade about how Cecilia is probably avoiding Simon because she thinks he is going to pressure her to have sex. Okay, but wasn't she the one coolly buying the condoms a couple weeks ago?
RevBong is sitting dutifully by Roxanne's hospital bed, where he's trying to tell her he wants to take their relationship "to the next step." By the way, he takes about five decades to get that one sentence out of his mouth. And by "next step," he certainly doesn't mean succumbing to the evil that is premarital sex. No, he wants to continue dating Roxanne with the idea of marrying her one day. She asks, "I'm not on some painkiller that would make me hallucinate, am I?" Sadly, no. I heard that too, although I have no idea what it means. She keeps asking him to repeat it. Amazingly, though, it's not so that she can laugh at him. She actually thinks it's sweet! I always knew she was stupid. So, is the point where he pins his fraternity pin on her hospital gown? Or gives her his class ring?
On the porch of the CamPound, the T-1000 is lying in wait for Lucy -- so he can insult her some more, I assume. I'm right, although he does start off with a not-very-sincere apology first. When Lucy wants to know why her avoidance of jury duty upsets him so much, he sighs and says he's going for a walk. I cringe when Lucy pathetically begs, "Can I come with you?" No deal. Kevin says, "If I spend any more time with you right now, I may say something I'll regret." I guess that means he doesn't regret any of the nasty shit he's already said to Lucy. What a great guy. And he doesn't stop there. When Lucy asks him what it is he doesn't want to say to her, he goes right ahead and says it anyway: "There are some things I don't like about you, and I'm just gonna have to accept those things…if I can." I think the odds of him actually accepting anything about Lucy that he doesn't like are pretty slim. You just know he's going to try to manipulate Lucy into changing, and that she will be stupid enough to do so. As Sars said last week, I hate this goddamn show.
