Episode Report Card Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT ...And Expiation (2)
By Gwen | Season 4 | Episode 8 | Aired on 11.14.1999
Back at Juvie, Mary emerges from the office with the woman telling her, "I don't know what kind of senior year you thought you were going to have, but now it belongs to me. I'll let you know later how many of them after that are going to be mine, too." Annie makes a face like she really has to go to the bathroom NOW. I guess she saw The Naked Cage, too. The woman leaves, Mary says she's in the program, and the CamRents sigh and hug like the saps they are.
It's funny how after watching a few minutes of life in the CamWorld, even the dumbest commercials seem brilliant. Except. No! Not the Coke commercial with the bubble-sniffing girl! NO-O-O-O-O-O-O!
At this point I have to stop telling you what happened on the show, because the video on which I recorded it somehow became messed up while I was watching The Messenger at the local discount theater with my spouse. It's been said that 7th Heaven is somehow cursed. Every episode's MBTV recap has undergone complications. I didn't believe in the curse. I waited for Sars to mail me her video of this episode. I never received it. Here is a tip for all of you in the US: when you pay $3.20 for priority mailing, you're actually only paying for the box and for whatever ink the postal workers use to stamp various enigmatic codes on said box. If you actually want your package MAILED, you have to pay a fee called "insurance." If you don't want to pay insurance, go ahead and write the following on your parcel:
"Dear Postal Workers,
I hope you enjoy the contents of this box. If you could, when you're at your leisure, could you please send the emptied box to the address printed on it? That way my friend will know that I was thinking of her, and she can have fun trying to guess what I put in the box.
Happy thieving!
[sign your name]
I hate to admit it, but I'm a little superstitious. Y'all please indulge me and let me add another little note here.
Dear Supreme Being, or Whomever It May Concern,
Hi. How are you? I realize that 7th Heaven is a family show that illustrates family values. I understand that many moral Earthlings enjoy the show and feel that it embodies their religious beliefs.
I don't want to do anything to offend You. I am willing to accept any signs or omens You wish to send. If You feel that I have failed you by not making enough fun of the show, please send another sign that I won't miss. Maybe you could have Reverend Camden bleach his hair like Billy of Ally McBeal. If, however, You are trying to tell me that You no longer want me to gaze upon the visage of Milla Jovovich, please let me know by shining Your Light of Understanding into my husband's eyes and causing him to have good taste in movies.
Love,
Your servant,
Gwen
