John's all excited about the impending arrival of the foxy neighbours. A knock on the door heralds their arrival. He admonishes Dopey to "look alive! Look conscious. Can you do that?" It's a stretch, John. The foxes come in, and social pleasantries are exchanged by all but Dopey. You can tell his silence is freaking the girls out a bit. One of them says nervously, "I hope we're not too early. We could smell the food all the way up on the fourth floor, and we're starving." John tries to keep the banter going. He introduces Matt, who says, "It's nice to meet you." Dopey then sits down and begins to weep. Everyone else looks on in dismay while I roll my eyes so far back into my head that I almost fall off my chair.
Outside "Flicks," Rick is saying he wishes he didn't have a girlfriend because he'd really like to kiss Lucy. She surmises that his girlfriend would not approve. Okay, we know the whole purpose of this episode is to fuel preteen fantasies of what it would be like to make out with Lance Bass. So could we move the action along, please? I've got places to go and people to see. Nope, we have to listen to more crappy dialogue along the lines of Lucy saying, "But what if I kissed you?" Lance's reply: "You mean without my knowing about it?" Lucy is confused, and Rick says, "That didn't even make sense, did it?" It sounds like a writer started writing this dialogue, realized it was stupid, but couldn't be bothered to change it. Does it matter? We're all just waiting for The Kiss, I'm sure. Lucy snuggles in closer and goes for it. After coming up for air, she and Rick go back for more. They're so busy at it that they don't even notice RevCam walking on the other side of the street. Eric pulls up short at the sight of his trampy-looking daughter making out with a guy she just met. RevCam puts on his hood, hoping to look less conspicuous. He hides behind a group of kids and then starts moving in for an even closer look. As he invades the kids' personal space, they look up at him, and RevCam starts to get an inkling that he looks like a big ol' perv. I have to turn off the special secret RevCaptions that tell me what he's thinking, because, quite frankly, it's starting to frighten me.
Simon and Nigel are in the CamGarage. Simon strikes a match, and he and Nigel start to light their cigarettes, just as SuperMom comes outside to dump the garbage. Simon and Nigel hastily fan the air, even though no cigarettes were actually lit. SuperMom goes back inside without catching them, though.
