We return from the commercial with the same shot of the CamHouse that is in the opening credits. Yeah, I noticed. Then we get a conversation with RevCam and Matt. RevCam wants Matt to stay home and entertain Gee, but Matt has "a date." Yeah. Sure. Matt points out that RevCam was about to leave too. RevCam tries to tell us that he's going to the church to work on his sermon. On a Friday night. I think the Rev's getting a little action on the side, don't you? Or maybe he's going off to smoke those Cubans. Anyway, after some RevManipulation that takes way too long, Matt gets to leave the house and RevCam goes back upstairs.
Now we're in the living room with Lucy. We know that Gee is there too, because the Accordion of Frenchness plays before we even see him. Lucy's asking Gee what a French man likes most about a woman: looks, body, or intelligence. Well, I guess if it's any of those choices, Lucy, you're kind of out of luck, aren't you? Gee responds that the eyes are the best part of a woman, because they are "the windows to her soul." I'm surprised they didn't have him say "les windows to le soul." Lucy grins unattractively, and the scene ends.
Aaahhhh! My screen has been swallowed by flannel! No, it's just Annie making the bed and throwing the sheet at the camera as if that were creative and artsy. RevCam walks in and asks her why she doesn't let Gee make the bed. Annie fires right back with a "why don't you ask him that, sil vous plait?" Score! Annie 3, RevCam 0! She is on fire today! RevCam picks up a shirt and says that he's sure that Gee will be as neat as the rest of the kids soon. Okay, I'm looking around the room and it's neater than mine, so I don't think anyone should complain. RevCam tells Annie that he's going back to the church to "get the computer," and leaves. Annie continues her bed-making frenzy until Simon walks in. He picks up Gee's laptop and asks Annie where the RevCam's laptop plug is, because Gee said he could use his computer, and apparently he didn't bring his own plug. Simon also mentions that RevCam "guards [his computer] with his life." Yeah, so much so that he left it at the church. Annie asks Simon if he's done his homework, and she looks really angry when she says it, and it scares me. Simon reminds her that it's Friday night and he waits until Sunday to do his homework, because he works best under pressure. You're not so special, Simon -- everyone does that. Annie responds to this with an even meaner, more suspicious glare. What is her problem? Simon says he'll do the homework tomorrow. Annie scolds him about doing things at the last minute. Simon asks if he can use the computer in Rev's office so he can "surf the net." I would like the point out that every time Simon mentions surfing the net, he puts one of his hands out like he's hanging ten or something. Loser. Annie consents, but keeps up this sudden Bitchmode by telling him not to make a mess. Then he leaves and she actually smiles. I guess the meanness was just a natural reaction to Simon. I understand.
