We open at a drive-in movie theater. Do they still have those? I have to giggle when we get a shot of Ephram's old nasty car from the front. Suddenly, we're inside, where Ephram and Amy are macking down. So they still do that at drive-ins. Amy thinks (out loud, in a voice-over) to herself, "My foot is falling asleep. Oh, damn, I shouldn't have moved it." Now Ephram: "Go to the ear. The EAR." Hee. Going to the ear proves a miserable failure, and the make-out session stops. Amy says she needs some air, and goes for popcorn. Amy and Ephram voice-over some more to the effect that they're both at fault for the unsuccessful making out. When Amy gets back with the popcorn, she blurts, "I think Brian and Terri are having sex in her parents' car." She and Ephram discuss this, and decide that the other couple are probably not having actual sex. Then, each thinking to themselves: "They're totally having sex. Wait, why aren't we having sex? Did I miss something? Are WE supposed to be having sex? WE'RE NEVER GOING TO HAVE SEX!" And, credits.
Treat is leaning against the back of his car, waiting for Delia outside her school. He looks over and sees very pretty Anne Heche, in a very cute outfit and a very cute headband (and by the way, where's my birthday present, Berlanti?), leaning against her own car, waiting for Charlie. Amanda catches Treat looking, and gives him a flirty little smile. Treat walks over and asks, "Why is it our two children are always the last ones out of the building?" Amanda: "Probably because Charlie likes to make out by the coat racks after the other kids are gone." Just as Treat is telling Amanda how much he enjoys her sassy ways, nosy Brenda Baxworth pops around the other side of the car. She sarcastically inquires as to how John's doing while Amanda hangs around outside elementary schools romancing Treat. Amanda answers back that John manages not to burn down the house during the five minutes she's gone. Brenda says she'll pray for Amanda. Amanda: "My bet's on science these days, but thanks all the same." Good for you, Amanda. Shut up, Baxworth. Delia and Charlie walk out -- aw! -- holding hands. Amanda tells Charlie to say goodbye to his girlfriend, and tells Treat she'll see him tomorrow at 2:00. For what? I have a feeling we'll sure find out.
Diner. Dimples McGee is gushing over the diner's Thanksgiving menu, saying it's like a horn o' plenty right there in Everwood. He asks Nina if she has any idea what kind of winter wonderland she's living in. Nina tells him that ice skating would really knock his socks off, then. Scooter completely dimples out at this, so excited I fear he might burst one of them. And then he tells Nina he can't go. Nina says she understands that he probably has a date or something. Scooter says he feels weird talking to Nina about his love life. Nina says he shouldn't; he can talk to her about it...or not. Awkward. Scooter bolts out of there. Nina sighs to herself. Wah.
“ Hannah says they should go watch the movie with Amy's parents, which would be so dorky if it weren't Patch and Rose, and if I didn't suspect that Hannah just wants to get a good look at Bright when he walks in the door. ”
Abbott House. While Amy and Rose clean up after dinner, Patch shows Hannah the floor plan of the cabin they're thinking of selling: "And this is where Amy used to build her pillow forts!" Hee. Hannah pretends to be interested. Just as Patch is telling Hannah about Bright's love for Miss Piggy (ha!), Amy interrupts and says she needs to talk to Hannah upstairs, stat. Patch is all, "But what about the movie we were all going to watch?" Amy says it can wait, because we all know she needs to find out if Hannah thinks Ephram wants to have sex with Amy.
Upstairs, Amy bitches about her dad's nostalgia. Hannah asks how Amy's date with Ephram went. Amy hems and haws, and then finally says that they played "How long can we kiss before it becomes so unbearable that I'd actually rather watch someone get eaten by a giant centipede?" Hannah: "Is that a game?" Amy says no, it's her sad, sad life, and she doesn't know what to do about their relationship stagnating, when she wants to go to the level. Hannah suggests that maybe Ephram is trying to show Amy how much he respects her. Amy: "That's horrifying." Heh. They finally decide that Amy just needs to talk to Ephram about it, because it always works out so well for Amy when she brings up touchy subjects with her boyfriend. Hannah says they should go watch the movie with Amy's parents, which would be so dorky if it weren't Patch and Rose, and if I didn't suspect that Hannah just wants to get a good look at Bright when he walks in the door.
Amy and Ephram are eating lunch in the high-school caf. Amy minces no words, busting out, "So why haven't you tried to have sex with me yet?" Ephram's like, "Who, me?" Heh. Ephram tells Amy that she hasn't really given him a good indication that she wanted him to try to have sex with her yet. Amy asks just how she's supposed to do that. Ephram: "Maybe by not flinching every time my hand grazes your belt buckle?" Amy insists that she doesn't flinch. Ephram says she does. Amy says it's just a reflex: "time it happens, just press on!" Ephram's like, "Fine, I will." Amy, who can't let it end there, says that there must be something else, like that Ephram just doesn't want to. Ephram says of course he wants to, and if she would just shut up and let him talk for a second, he could explain that he wants their first time to be super-special and perfect, like a trip to Paris or something. Amy says that's an aneurysm waiting to happen, and that she doesn't need candles, or Paris, or whatever; it just has to be Ephram. Then: "I say we do it in the car." Hee. Amy gets the bright idea that they should do it at her parents' cabin on the lake. Ephram agrees that this sounds great, and that they'll meet there at eight, for a sexy sex-sex date. Amy: "Great! You bring the condoms, and I'll see if I can score some of my mom's fried chicken for after."
