On our way back into the show, the announcer once again reminds us that this is the last episode of 7th Heaven. When he says it's the last episode "EVER," he's positively giddy.
Already wearing her wedding dress, Rose is putting her wedding makeup on all by herself when we return. Wow, that sucks. Girl doesn't even have a best friend, let alone a make-up person, to do this for her? I don't mean to be rude, but she has a more than a few blemishes that could use some skilled concealer work. This sends me off on a flashback of my very own to that Very Special Episode that taught us to be tolerant of those with mild acne problems. I usually try to do the exact opposite of everything this show tells me to, so I guess that's why I'm making fun of Rose's acne now.
PC lets herself in and tells Rose she. Looks. Absolutely. Amazing. Can no one on this show deliver his or her lines in something resembling a realistic fashion? "So I look okay?" Rose asks, apparently not able to comprehend the meaning of "amazing." What is PC even doing there? Do those two know each other at all? Rose asks PC for hairstyle advice, saying her mother wants her to wear it up, but she'd rather keep it down so looks like the way it always does since it's not like this is a special occasion or anything like that, right? "Is your mom giving you a hard time on your wedding day?" PC asks. "She doesn't mean to; she just has opinions about everything," Rose says. A woman with opinions? EVIL! EVIL! PC says that her mother has opinions, too, but no one cares about this.
PC awkwardly segues into asking Rose what her mother thinks of Simon. Why do you care, PC? Mind your own business! Geez. Rose's mom thinks that Simon is "okay, but [Rose] can do better." Ha! Rose's mom rules. PC says her mother felt that way about Matt, too, "only by 'better,' she just meant 'Jewish.'" Actually, PC, I'm pretty sure she meant "better." Rose says that she thinks Simon is nice, but doesn't have much more to say about him. Instead, she gives PC a gift even though they barely know each other, but apparently Beverley Mitchell or Mackenzie Rosman couldn't be bothered to show up to the set that day so they had to write the scene for PC instead. This is the SERIES FINALE. Should we really be wasting time on a scene with two characters who aren't Camdens? What a letdown this episode must have been for the show's real fans, although those two deserve what they get, honestly. Rose's gift to PC is -- seriously -- a pearl necklace. Why didn't the writers go for the gold and have her give PC a Dirty Sanchez or a Cleveland Steamer while they were at it? Pearl necklace. Oh my god. Anyway, Rose explains that after her parents got divorced, they kept giving her pearl necklaces every year without knowing that the other one was doing the same thing and forgetting that it was the same present they had given their daughter the year before. With Rose's parents' mutual obsession with pearl necklaces, I don't know why they wanted to split. Rose says that divorce ruins childhoods and parents should always stay together for their children, even though I've never met a child of divorce who would have rather his or her parents stayed together and hated each other. I have, however, met a few people whose parents stayed together until their kids went to college and who wished that their parents had gotten divorced much earlier. PC graciously thanks Rose for the re-gift, but worries that Rose's mother will notice that the pearls she gave her daughter are gone. "My mom would definitely notice," PC says. Because her mother is Jewish and the Jews are always keeping tabs on their riches. They like to hunch over and wring their hands together while they do this, too. So I've heard. Rose says her mother knows about this and approves, probably because it's saving her from having to help Rose pay for real gifts for her wedding party. PC and Rose hug, and Rose is one of the few people (although this show seems to have a lot of them) who looks worse when she smiles.
