...but we're spared the frosty greeting the parents surely had as we cut to Don driving the kids home; they're all piled in the front seat, which is just as well, since at that age I would have been scared to be in the back with sirens wailing all around me. Even Don looks discomfited by what he's seeing, so I hope Megan didn't put away the bar. (Good one, right?)

Cross-fade into Papa Ginzo coming into the kitchen to find his son at the sewing machine in a wifebeater and boxers, and I wish we'd gotten this welcome sight in a merrier episode, but I'll take what I can get. Not so Papa Ginzo, who, after explaining he's going to work on a Saturday because he doesn't want to be in front of the TV, berates his son for his lack of stitching ability before adding that he also can't cook or clean. "You don't think there's a reason you have all these flaws?" He's not the easiest to like, but his point that Ginzo needs a girlfriend is valid enough, even if he follows up by basically being all "Unless you're a fagola?" Ginzo assures his father he likes girls, but Papa Ginzo tells him that if that were true, he'd be in bed with Beverly right now, and when Ginzo tells him no one's in the mood, Papa Ginzo demurs: "Now's the time when a man and a woman need to be together the most!" He gets in a good one (and the episode title!) about the animals going two by two in the flood: "You, you gonna get on the ark with your father?" Heh. Ginzo assures his father that he can find his own girls, which I hope doesn't mean he's rejecting Beverly just because of how she came to him, although now that I think of it, you couldn't really blame either of them for thinking a first date on the night of an assassination is a bad omen. Anyway, Papa Ginzo gives up, grumbling that he'll bring Ginzo a sandwich when he returns. I hope he's talking about food, because in the other arena I think it would be best for Ginzo to go one at a time first.
