Brad has taken Lucy to a theater called "Flicks" which is showing something with a title that includes the word "alibi." Gee, they must have a pretty strict dress code at the cinemas over there, seeing as how Lucy wore an evening gown and all. Maybe her pimp-ish coat pulls it down into casual wear, though. Lucy and Brad get in line. Some guy walks up and says hello to Lucy. Oh, dang. It's Andrew "Girly Man" BlahBlah. Lucy doesn't even seem ashamed. She makes this face like, "Okay, you caught me. I stole a pen from my bank," and introduces Brad to him. Andrew doesn't even look girly to me. Oh, wait -- is he that boy who went on the date with Lucy earlier this season, and she had to drive him around and the whole thing was, like, totally gender-bending? (Not?) If so, he should go find a nicer person with whom to see movies. At least he's not a loser like Lucy, though. He has no fear of going out alone. Andrew starts asking about her being on a date. She is rude, telling him it's none of his business and that she just changed her mind. I'm just about to call Andrew and ask him out myself, when suddenly he flakes. He asks how Lucy could take Brad to the theater where they had their own first date. He says it's "sacred ground" Dude. Shut up. Lucy has to tell him that it's not even the same theater. "Oh," says Andrew. "Well, I'm still hurt!" There you go. Ha. Andrew decides to go into the theater and make Lucy care. Yeah, because Lucy's such a groovy person, I'm sure guys have to fight over her all the time. She's not a liar or anything. Oh, and she just made me over-boil my tea water. Bitch.
Matt shows up at Shana's with take-out and a paper hat. Shana waxes nostalgic about the way they met. Matt takes off the paper hat and kisses her. I wish he'd left it on because his hair looks like Wednesday Addams. Shana starts freaking and says they should say goodbye now while everything's "perfect." She says she doesn't have a couch for him to sleep on. I guess she had it shipped to New York. He doesn't care. He'll sleep on the floor. He can't say goodbye yet. She tells him to do it anyway and that she'll call him from New York the next day. He whines a little more, then relents. They hug. He's teary-eyed. They whisper goodbye and the door is shut on his sad-sack face. Every time I see Shana's mole I think of John Boy Walton.
Someone tell me -- for real -- what does Jennifer Love Hewitt have going for her besides the breasts? I mean, I guess her naïveté would attract the secret pedophiles, but besides that . . . ?
Matt walks in the CamPound back door and asks RevCam if he's been drinking. Heh. Matt can't believe the house is such a mess. The talk turns serious and RevCam guesses that Matt spent the night at Shana's. He also guesses that Matt slept on the couch. They do the manly slap/hug and Matt tells his dad that Annie's going to kill RevCam when she gets home and sees the mess.
