Gee compliments Annie's housewifing style and her looks, calling her a model from a fashion magazine. Someone tell the French guy that the JCPenney Spring Catalogue is not a fashion magazine before he makes this mistake again. Annie is all flattered, and shows this by running her hand over her neck. I would like to point out that "Fashion" Annie is wearing a white shirt with a huge seventies collar and a black jumper. Annie then leaves to room to "make a sandwich." Finger sandwiches, perhaps? If you know what I mean. Gee gives RevCam the real presents, wine and Cuban cigars. RevCam knows they're Cuban because he sniffs the box with his nose like five feet away from it. Not bad. Gee admits to smuggling them in. He's all proud of this fact. Hmm...I smell trouble! Martin says, "I know NOThing aBOUT it, ha ha ha," the whole time looking at RevCam's neck, and I now believe that he is a vampire who wants to suck some CamBlood. RevCam says that he doesn't smoke, but he will see that the cigars don't go to waste. Maybe he will donate them to a shelter or something. Rev sends Gee to the living room while he makes up a room for Gee. Martin thanks RevCam again, still looking at that neck, and then leaves, but not before saying that he's sure they won't have any problems. I'm sure that this comment won't prove ironic later or anything. Rev takes Gee's suitcase, and Martin leaves. And by "suitcase," I mean one lightly packed, tiny little bag. Gee is going to be there for weeks, and he only has one Ziploc bag full of stuff. That's weird.
Rev calls the girls downstairs, and they all run in. Rev tells them to meet Gee, and Ruthie goes, "Gee? Yuck!" I wish she delivered these lines less annoyingly, because she has had some good ones today. I am forced to take that back when Rev walks the kids into the room and introduces them to Gee and he says, "Bonjour Root-tie," and she says, "THIS is America. Speak English!" and walks away like a stupid little troll. Gee laughs, which is better than what I would have done if I was him. Then Mary introduces herself like this: "Hel-lo. My. Name. Is. Ma-ry." Idiot. RevCam shares my opinion and reminds her that Gee is French, not deaf. Well, if he were deaf, I still don't think that Mary should speak to him like that. No one treats Heather that way! Mary pouts at being called out like that. Gee tries to smooth it over by Frenchifying her name. He says it like mais oui, which is funny, because when you're talking about Mary, isn't she all about saying "yes?" Then Gee calls her beautiful, prompting a shot of Lucy looking jealous. RevCam chooses this time to leave the room, like a man who wants his daughters to have the easiest possible time getting it on with the exchange student. Then Lucy introduces herself by saying the first French sentence everyone learns: "Bonjour, je m'appelle Lucy Camden. Comme ça va?" Gee pretends that this impresses him. I notice that he does not call Lucy beautiful. Ha ha! Then everyone sits down as the Accordion of "Authentic" French Music plays. Ruthie asks Gee if French people eat snails, and I hope that this is the last time they mention this. Gee says that they do, and Ruthie says "eew" and gets a totally horrid expression on her face that I just know Annie could beat anytime. Then Lucy says that she loves snails, because she is pathetic and thinks that faking similar interests will get you somewhere with a man five years older than you. Mary and Ruthie look at her like "jigga what?" and we get a commercial.
