What the heck?

I'm doing a birthday party. Or I'm supposed to do a birthday party. I told

of the mothers from my Mommy Me class I would.

But now Lucy's driving up to see Simon, and I think Savannah's too young to take

to the party, so I'm hoping Mom can babysit.

Otherwise I'll have to drag Savannah along, and I don't like her hanging out

with the older kids because they're way too germy at that age.

Boys, your life changed.

Hey, I love my life.

Who wouldn't love putting on costumes and hanging out with mommies all day?

Seriously, it's great. You should try it. Maybe you could babysit. No, I

couldn't. What are you? You're kidding me, right?

No. I'm Roscoe.

From Riverton?

Of course, Roscoe Riverton.

You haven't seen Roscoe Riverton?

Oddly enough, I rarely have time to catch a cartoon between shifts.

If you have time to fly across the country to visit your family, you have

to watch Roscoe. He's great.

He's like the Loch Ness Monster, only he's this gigantic rat, and he lives in

the Mississippi River.

And he's friends with this little boy, and at night he goes home with him

because he's scared of the dark.

The kid, not Roscoe. Kevin, are you on any medication?

Never mind. Are you sure you can't babysit? I'm positive. I have a very

planned. Doing what?

Well, if Lucy's going to see Simon, I think we can assume there's something

interesting going on, so I'm going to go with her. I don't think Lucy wants

anyone to go with her. Even more interesting.

What's the problem?

I don't know. What makes you think there's a problem?

You don't think there's a problem? Other than mind eating a babysitter, no. Lucy

just wants to drive up to see Simon.

What's happened to you?

Can you not put together a simple crime investigation anymore?

Maybe you need to get out of the costume and slip back into the uniform.

I mean, just imagine.

You're in blue.

Carrying a gun. You sure you don't see anything suspicious?

There's been no crime committed. My wife just wants to see her brother.

Roscoe, is that not your first clue?

Something's going on.

Maybe you're right.

We need a plan.

When I see their happy faces by looking back at me,

seven heavens, I know there's no greater feeling than the love of

family. Where can you go

when the world don't treat you right? The

answer is home.

7 -7 7 -7

7 -7

Gotta get in there fast.

No one.

I thought we agreed. Those kids are germy. They're in daycare. They're

They've got things. Lots of things. I don't want Savannah to get any of those

things. Matt will hold her. He won't let her get anything.

What is he, super doctor?

He can't keep her from getting sick.

I thought you were going to ask my mom to watch her. Matt said you would do it.

Then why can't he come here and babysit?

Well, I guess he could.

Could. Ask him to.

Insist on it.

Or you can take her with you. I could, but it's going to be a long ride and I

don't think she'll enjoy it much.

She would if you play her tapes in the car and you bring the Cheerios in a bag

and she holds a rag doll. I taught you that, okay?

You don't have to tell me how to make Savannah happy in the car.

All right.

It's too long a ride.

How long are you going to be up there?

I don't know.

What are you going to be doing?

Hanging out, talking, brother -sister stuff.

Doesn't he have classes?

Yes, he has classes. That's why I didn't leave earlier.

He's in class in the morning.

He'll be finished by the time I get up there. So you're going to do what? Go

to lunch?

Look, officer, I'm going to visit with my brother, okay?

What's with all the questions?

Just trying to get a feel for your day, that's all.

Because? Because you're my wife and I care about you. And I'm just wondering

there's any other reason you're driving all the way up there other than just to

see Simon.

You're up to something.

You Camdens are a suspicious bunch, you know that?

You sure you aren't up to something?

Careful, you're starting to sound like one of us.

I have to go.

What time will you be home?

I'll be home when I'm home.

I've got my cell phone. You can call me if you need me for anything.

You sure you're just going up there to see Simon?

Bye.

Hi. I haven't seen you lately. How's it going?

It's going fine, other than that I can't find anyone to date.

Sorry about Sam.

He's a nice guy, but I understand.

Yeah, I'm just not attracted to him.

Well, maybe if you got to know him better.

I think that's out of the question, seeing as how he's not speaking to me.

I offered to be friends with him, but I don't think it would have worked out

anyway.

Well, what about Jack?

Every time I see him, he's talking to some girl.

A different girl, every time.

Yeah, he's pretty popular.

I guess I didn't realize how lucky I was that he liked me.

But you didn't like him, right? So it didn't matter.

Right. It doesn't matter.

You don't still like him, do you?

No. We think they're great with Martin and me.

You sure?

Yeah.

It's just that when you call him, does he answer his phone?

No, he never answers. And I leave him messages, and he doesn't even call me

back. Yeah, he never answers when I call him.

And he never has his phone with him when we go out anymore. It just makes me

think that, ugh, never mind.

What? I guess I'm just feeling a little bit insecure.

I mean, he has a cell phone. He calls me on the cell phone, but he never has it

with him. Like, he doesn't want somebody to call him when he's with me.

You don't think that he's going out with anybody else, do you?

No, I don't think so.

He seems so serious about me. I mean, I don't think that he would be going out

with somebody else, but...

Just odd.

Well, have you asked him about it?

No. I don't want him to think that I don't trust him.

Well, there might be a simple explanation that would make you feel a

I mean, have you asked him why he never has his phone with him?

No. Well, just so you know, I call him sometimes.

We're friends. I mean, he lived at our house.

I know.

That's why I was thinking that maybe you could ask him.

Okay. I'll ask him.

But that doesn't mean he'll tell me. Well, he doesn't have practice today, so

maybe you could ask him for a ride home.

Will he be giving you a ride home?

No, I have a dentist appointment.

Okay.

I'll ask him. Find out if he's seeing anybody else?

Please?

I'll try.

Thank you.

Hi. I think it is so smart of you just to take the day off and get away from it

all. Yeah, I just wanted to take a drive.

To see Simon, I hear.

Kevin told you.

Matt, but he was really an educated guest.

Why wouldn't you want me to know?

I don't care if you know.

So what did you come by for?

Oh, I just wanted to grab a book or two.

Oh, which ones?

Well, I just wanted to grab something to read in case I have some time to kill

waiting around for Simon.

So, uh... So any of them. You pick. You had no particular book in mind?

Nope.

Read this.

There's a chapter on developing a poker face and the importance of that to the

game. But I don't play poker.

Well, that's probably good because you have no poker face.

Sometimes, as a minister, it's good to put on a face that doesn't give anything

away so that others don't suspect that we're up to something other than what we

say we're up to. You know what I mean?

I think so. You're not going up to see Simon for the reasons you said. You're

going up there for some other reasons.

Did Rose not move out? As far as I know, she moved out. I have to go.

Lou, it's Eric.

Look, I have to have some more time to go over the fourth quarter budget. I

to ask Annie about some things and get her advice. So let's...

Get together tomorrow afternoon instead of today. I'm sorry for the last minute

change. I'll talk to you.

How long is this party?

She just wants me for half an hour. She's got Superman and Batman and all

other superheroes coming in one after the other.

I'm kind of opening for them.

Opening act.

Congratulations.

Simon knows Lucy's coming up there, right?

I would assume so.

Why would you assume anything, Roscoe?

Why would she go up there and take the chance on him not being around?

I don't know.

Why don't we find out?

Hello? Hey, Simon.

Oh, it's you.

You were expecting?

Nothing. I just wanted to let you know that I would have come up with Lucy

today, but I have to help Kevin babysit.

Lucy's coming up here?

Yeah.

Are you sure?

You didn't know?

No, I didn't know.

Why is Lucy coming up here?

Well, you tell me.

Uh, maybe she just wants to see me.

You're not in any trouble or anything, are you? No, no, I'm not. No, Rose moved

out. Everything's cool.

What, is she checking up on me?

Maybe. Are you sure you're not hiding anything?

What would I be hiding?

I don't know. It just seems kind of strange that Lucy would be making a

visit if there isn't anything wrong.

Did she say that something was wrong?

No, she just said she wanted to see you. We assumed you knew.

We who?

Kevin and me.

All right.

If she's coming up here, she's coming up here. I don't really care.

But I've got nothing to hide, so... Maybe she does just want to see me.

But I've got to get back to class, so bye.

Are you coming?

That was Matt. He said that Lucy's coming up here. Is that today?

She's coming up to see Sandy.

What? Yeah, I thought I told you.

No, you didn't tell me. When did she talk to Sandy?

I think it was the first of the week.

If I still lived here, you'd know these things.

As it is, I guess I just forgot to tell you.

Sandy said Martin talked to Lucy.

He still hasn't called Sandy, but he talked to Lucy.

I told him not to talk to her. I told him to talk to my dad. She's

inexperienced. She's going to mess this up. She can't handle something this big.

Yeah, and Sandy has a big mouth.

Would you ask her to please leave us out of any discussion she has with Lucy?

I don't even know where she is.

I can't even focus.

All I can think about is how am I going to take care of this baby?

Where are we going to live?

Where am I going to work?

Who's going to take care of the baby when I'm at work?

I need Martin.

Or maybe you don't.

It would be nice if you two were in love and wanted to get married and have this

baby together. But marrying someone you don't want to be married to and who

doesn't want to be married to you, well, that can make a tough situation a lot

tougher. I mean, Martin, he's such a good guy.

He's so innocent and honest and nice.

And not to mention really, really good looking.

And he's the father. I'm sure he's the father.

Believe me, I would not be pushing this poor guy into this if I wasn't for

absolute certain he's the father.

I'm not saying he doesn't have any responsibility in this. And I'm not

that he should never be involved in the child's life. I mean, he should. He

absolutely should.

But... Go ahead. I hate to be so blunt, but... No, I can take it. Just tell me

what you're thinking, please.

It's just so nice to have someone to talk to.

Martin is a high school senior whom you had casual sex with. You don't know him

and he doesn't know you. He's a nice guy and you're a nice woman.

But getting to know someone takes time.

And I know it feels like you've got to make this relationship happen right now

because you've only got until the baby comes.

But in reality, you've got a lifetime to get to know Martin.

What am I supposed to do?

I can't go through this alone.

I can't.

I've always been alone.

And that's one reason I really want the baby.

Is I want someone to love and I want someone to love me.

And I think Martin could love me.

And he could love the baby.

And I could love him.

Could. He could love you and he could love the baby. But if you try to force

that, if you try to make him love you and the baby, I think he's just going to

resent you and want to turn and run the other way.

So what am I supposed to do?

I don't know what you're supposed to do.

But I know what you could do.

You can give him a little time and space and let him come around and do whatever

he thinks is right in his own time and in his own way.

Until then?

Until then, do you have any close friends that you can rely on right now?

Someone you can talk to? Someone you can go to your doctor's appointments with?

Maybe Rose. Isn't Rose a good friend?

Rose, please.

You've met her.

I don't know why we couldn't go home to let me change.

Yeah, I am a rat. I can't believe I let Uncle Matt talk me into this.

Consider it your initiation into the Camden family.

It's one thing to put a ring in my sister's hand, marry her, and father a

It's another thing, a better thing, to join with her brother in a good old

-fashioned family caper.

Let's go home. I'm sure she'll tell us why she really came up here.

Oh, sure. We'll find out eventually, but why not find out now?

After all, Roscoe, we're here.

Wait, he gave her a ring? An engagement ring? A big one.

She had it all picked out.

When did he do that?

When he made her move out.

It was sort of like a compromise.

Where did he get money to buy her a ring?

Plastic. He charged it.

Simon never charges anything.

He can't stand to be in debt. He's great with money.

Well, then I'm sure he'll be making the payments on time.

I bet he'll be making payments.

Plenty of them.

What's he doing here? Same thing we're doing here.

There she is. And she's not with Simon. Who is that?

That's Rose's friend, Sandy.

Well, I am going to go find Simon and Rose. As long as I'm already up here,

like to talk to them, too.

Okay, well, she's not wearing the ring. You can't tell them you know about it.

I won't. I promise.

Is something wrong?

I don't know. I just get the feeling that somebody's watching us.

Oh, they probably are.

I think I'm starting to show a little bit and people are starting to talk

it.

Well, I had some books for you, but I will mail them and we are going to find

some classes for you to go to.

Excuse me. I will be right back.

What do you guys think you're doing?

Trying to find out what you're doing.

Okay, guys.

Today... I am not your daughter. I am not your sister. I am not your wife.

I am Lucy Kinkirk, the Reverend Lucy Kinkirk. And you guys should all be

of yourselves.

I can't tell you what I'm doing here, which is why I didn't tell you why I was

really coming up here.

So go home, okay? Just go home.

You thought you wouldn't notice a big rat walking around?

She didn't. Not until Savannah yelled to her.

Let's get out of here. Yeah, let's. I feel so ashamed.

Me too.

No, you don't.

You feel stupid because we all got caught and now you're upset that we have

leave. Well, we do have to leave. I can't even believe I did this. I was so

Simon was in trouble. He's making me crazy.

Yeah, I mean, we never would have done this on our own if Simon wasn't making

so nuts.

We'll follow you.

That's okay. I want to find a restroom first. Well, you know, there's one at

gas station at the freeway entrance.

Hey, if you're staying, we're all staying.

We can't.

It's for you.

Hello? Eric Camden, you get home right now.

I'm on my way, dear.

Don't you dear me? And you tell Matt and Kevin to get home, too. The three of

you. Unbelievable.

We're leaving right now.

Annie wants us home.

You had to get loose to your cell phone.

Let me in. I want to talk to you.

I'm not leaving.

I will stay here all day and all night and all day again if I have to.

Hi, Luke.

What are you doing here?

Don't be all pleasant with me when you weren't even going to let me in.

No, I didn't hear you. I was in the back.

The back of what?

It's one room.

It's great to see you again, but I have class, so I just came back to get this

book and... I'll walk with you to class.

We can talk.

About? About anything you want.

Okay.

Because it just sounds like you're angry about something.

No, I'm not angry.

You have, like, angry written all over your face.

I'm not angry. Are we going to walk or not?

Not.

Okay, look, I lied.

I just wanted to get a book so I can hide out at the library. I found out you

were coming.

What Sandy told Rose, Rose told me.

Oh, and where is Rose?

In class.

No, she moved out, okay? I promise. She doesn't live here anymore.

How'd it go with Sandy?

Fine. It went fine.

Are you going to try to get Martin to marry her? Because I don't think he has

necessarily, even though that's what she wants.

This is a personal matter, a private and personal matter.

Yeah, a private and personal matter that I knew about and that I was involved

with way before you found out about it.

So I'm sure you can tell me what's going on, can't you?

I'll let Sandy tell you as much as she wants to tell you.

You know, Simon, this is a very serious situation, and I'm going to ask you to

leave Martin alone.

Don't call him right now. Just give me some time and give him some time to work

this out, okay?

Okay. I'm serious.

I think he's feeling really pressured right now.

That's what I said. I told Sandy the same thing. I know, and then you agreed

call Martin if Sandy didn't call Dad.

Why didn't you want Sandy to call Dad?

Could it be that he didn't want Sandy talking to Dad because she knows some

things you don't want Dad to know? I just didn't want her calling Dad and

ratting out Martin. And you wanted Martin to call Dad because... Because I

he should call and rat himself out and get some help.

All right, I guess that makes sense. But I think there's more to it.

I think Sandy knows a lot of things you don't want Mom or Dad to know.

Anything you want to tell me?

Aren't you that Camden who finds out everything last?

You know, because if I change something as basic to, like, the family structure

as that, this whole family might just fall apart.

I doubt it.

Hi, honey, I'm home.

What were you thinking?

Well, what, last week you sent me up there, so this week I went on my own.

What's the difference?

Well, last week I sent you, this week I didn't know anything about it, so Lucy

called for help.

So?

So... Come on, what is she doing up there?

Nothing to do with Simon.

Something to do with Sandy.

Oh, good. So you found out what's going on with Sandy?

Not exactly, but from my observation, she's...

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Not Simon.

No, I don't think so. That doesn't make any sense.

Oh, no.

Maybe. Oh, hey.

Look who gave me a ride home.

I've got to get out of this thing and relax before Lucy comes home and kills

No, no, you can't. You have to see Sam and David. Dad wanted you to. They love

that rat.

So, uh, who's the father?

Father?

Sandy. She's pregnant.

Where'd you get that?

Where'd I get that? The woman's obviously pregnant. Take my word for it.

doctor. Almost a doctor.

I'm doctor enough to know the woman's pregnant.

Wait, not Simon, right?

No, I don't think so. That wouldn't make sense.

So?

So, I don't think I should say. It would only be a guess, and Lucy already wants

to kill me.

Come on!

We can't have a caper like that and keep secrets from each other.

We're brothers.

You're making her crazy not answering your phone.

You're making all of us crazy not answering your phone.

Sorry, just started getting some calls I don't want, so I don't keep my phone

with me.

Calls from?

What are you, on a mission?

No.

Yeah, you are. I can tell. Did Meredith say something?

She thinks you're seeing someone else.

I'm not seeing anyone else.

All right.

I'm not.

She's not thinking about breaking up with me, is she? No, she's worried about

you breaking up with her.

No, it's nothing.

It's just some phone calls. Some stupid phone calls.

I can't believe she'd think I want to break up with her. I mean, doesn't she

know how much I care about her by now?

I think she's just feeling a little insecure.

I mean, we all know how great it is to be in a relationship. But it's also

because at this age, the relationships don't always last.

Look, relationships at any age don't always last. And if you know something,

tell me. No, really.

I think she's just afraid that you're hiding something.

Like another girlfriend.

She really likes you. A lot.

I like her too.

Good.

So who are the phone calls from?

Well, you call a lot.

Yeah, and you almost never call me back.

You just seem kind of down lately.

No, I'm not. I just have a lot on my mind.

This is the first year I've lived with my dad, and I'm still adjusting to that,

and it's my last year of high school. I've just been worried about baseball,

about college, about my future. It's been kind of overwhelming.

And now it's not?

I talked to the counselor today, and as it turns out, I've already finished all

the courses I have to have to graduate.

Or I will, you know, when I finish this semester.

And I can opt not to take anything next semester and still graduate with the

class and still be eligible to play ball. So if it gets to be too much, I

take it easy next semester and give myself a break.

And do what?

Just go to baseball practice, play ball.

Oh. I'd just be taking a bunch of electives I don't need anyway.

Well, didn't you know that coming into this year?

Yeah, but I don't know.

Well, don't you want to go to school? It's your senior year. You should enjoy

it. No, my point is if I'm not enjoying it, then I don't have to go.

Thanks for the cookie.

It was good to see you.

It was good to see you, too.

I'm going to go see Meredith and make sure everything's okay.

Yeah. Oh, and I don't think that she wanted you to know that she wanted me to

talk to you. I won't say anything.

Oh, um, thanks for being my friend. You know, it's great having a girlfriend,

but I still need my friends, so thanks.

Sure.

I want to talk to you alone.

I really should be going, Rose.

Why don't you come down with Simon this weekend?

Or why don't I just call you instead?

You don't want me to come because you don't think your parents are going to be

happy about the ring.

I don't think my parents are going to be happy about Simon charging the ring.

Or that we're officially engaged.

I don't know how they're going to react to that.

But they know we're getting married, so why is the ring such a big deal?

Well, I think that Simon told them that you would be getting engaged in May, and

I think that they think that the two of you really need some time to think this

through. But, you know, really, I can't speak for them.

You got married before you graduated?

Yes, but Kevin's a little older than I am, and our financial situation was a

little different since he'd been working for several years.

And he's loaded.

That has nothing to do with anything.

That's not why I married him. I love Kevin.

And your parents love him and they don't love me.

None of us have really gotten a chance to get to know you yet, Rose.

I don't know why they don't love me. Why did they love Kevin and they don't love

me? And don't tell me they don't. I can feel it.

They don't approve of our getting married because they don't even like me.

Rose, it's just that...

You don't always seem to have Simon's best interest at heart. Like when you

asked him to buy you a ring he can't afford.

I mean, things like that make parents worry. It makes them question whether or

not you really love my brother.

But I do love him. I really do. That's why I want to get married sooner.

Sooner? I have the ring.

I want to get married this May.

I don't want to wait until I graduate.

Again, you got married before you graduated. I mean, you even had a baby

you graduated.

After I graduated.

isn't about me.

Why can't you just be on my side?

Aren't you supposed to be a Christian?

Aren't you supposed to love everyone?

I mean, I thought you and I could be like sisters.

Maybe we can, but I thought about what you said and I thought of something.

Hi, Rose.

I was talking to her.

Okay, well, now I need to talk to her.

Rose, can I call you tomorrow?

And I'll give some thought to what you said.

Fine. Call me tomorrow.

You thought of something?

My dad, my real dad, lives in Los Angeles.

I thought maybe now's a good time to call him. Maybe if he knows that I'm in

trouble, he'll help me.

Maybe it's a good opportunity for him, right?

Yeah, maybe.

I don't know. I mean, I don't know if he'd do it, but maybe it was a stupid

idea.

It's worth thinking about.

I know where he lives. I got his phone number off the Internet.

All right, well, let me have it, and I'll see what I can do.

But just keep thinking about how capable you are of handling your own life.

Thanks.

And thanks for everything.

I just have a feeling that you're going to make this all alright somehow.

Sorry, am I drooling?

A little.

You okay?

When you don't have very good dental care for most of your life, it's a

tough to get caught up.

I'm sorry.

No, don't be.

I can't tell you how great it is to get to go to the dentist, and my mom takes

me or my dad.

So you're calling them mom and dad now?

Yeah, I am.

I don't know if they'll ever legally adopt us, but I think of them as mom and

dad, so I just decided not calling them that.

It feels great.

Well, I'm really happy everything's working out for you.

Yeah, thank you. Me too.

I love being in a family, having my brother and my sisters around.

I'm really lucky.

Yeah. You think you'll ever have children?

You know, if you get married, you think you'll have children?

I want children.

Five.

Yeah, children would be great, I guess.

I'm going to adopt them all.

There's so many children out there that need homes like we did. I don't know why

people have babies that don't want them.

Am I drooling again?

No, I better be going. I have homework.

I'll call you.

Okay. Or I could call you, but you never seem to have your phone with you.

It's just that when I'm with you, I don't want anyone to interrupt us.

And when you're not with me?

I'm thinking about you.

I always think about you.

I don't want anyone else, Meredith.

Ruthie talked to you, didn't she?

I think she just talked to me.

I'm not seeing anyone else.

I mean, I dated other girls before I dated you, but I wish I hadn't.

I'm not going out with anyone else. I'm not even talking to anyone else other

than Ruthie.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that.

I just didn't know if you considered it any of my business if you were dating

someone else. But let's go back to you wish you hadn't gone out with anybody

before me.

Are we talking about dating or something else?

I was talking about dating.

Are we talking about dating someone you had sex with?

I mean, why would you regret dating somebody before me? I don't know.

Yeah, you do.

You wish that you hadn't had sex.

What are you talking about? Why are you saying that?

Well, is it true?

What? Have you had sex?

Because... Ruthie told me that you swore that you weren't going to have sex

until you got married, and that sounded really good to me.

I think we've talked enough for one day.

It's that Sandy girl, isn't it?

You had sex with her.

That's why she's following you around and why she keeps calling you.

And that's whose phone calls you're avoiding.

Oh, I knew it.

I don't want to talk about it.

Well, you brought it up.

No, I didn't. Yes, you did.

Oh, my God, that cheap hoochie mama.

Well, I would call her something else, but I don't believe in women calling

other women bad names.

So if you're seeing her, just tell me.

Because if you are seeing her, and I think you know what I mean by seeing,

we are not going out anymore.

I'm not seeing her.

I said I wish I never had seen her.

And I don't want to see her again.

You promise?

I promise.

Ouch.

I love you, Meredith.

You do?

Yeah, I do.

I love you too.

But do not tell Ruthie Camden or anyone else because if word gets out that you

and Sandy saw each other, my dad might find out. If my dad finds out, I'm going

to have to quit seeing you because I couldn't go out with a guy that he

approve of. After all, he's done for me.

Believe me, I'm not going to say anything to Ruthie.

Do you love me?

Can I just tell Lucy that part of the conversation?

Because I have to tell Simon.

All right.

Hey, Martin.

Twice in one day.

Come on in.

Everything okay?

Yeah, I was just looking for Lucy.

She took a drive up to see Simon. She's not back yet.

Okay, well, um...

Good night.

Anything I can do for you?

Uh, no.

But, uh, thanks.

Good night.

You sure?

I'm sure.

Good night.

Everything okay with you and your dad?

Everything's fine.

My dad's been really busy with work lately.

So he's enjoying the landscaping business?

He seems to be.

Hey, how's your aunt?

How are things going for her in New York?

Good. She's, uh, got a new line of socks coming out.

See ya.

School okay?

Yeah. It's pretty easy this year, so I better be going.

Last year of high school, huh?

It's an exciting time. Lots of thoughts about the future, I imagine.

Loads. Really have to go. And Meredith?

You and Meredith still dating?

No one else but Meredith.

She's a nice girl. The nicest. Look, tell Lucy I was looking for her if she's

here, okay? Thanks.

There's nothing I can do to help you.

Was that Martin?

That was he.

Well, did he want me?

No, looking for Lucy.

For what?

Didn't say.

I bet I know.

Do you?

Do you?

No. He told Meredith he loves her.

Why would he want to tell Lucy that he told Meredith he loves her?

Well, because he talked to Lucy, and I guess she told him that he should tell

Meredith how he feels about her.

You think?

Yeah. I saw it coming.

She was nervous that he had another girlfriend. He was nervous that she

think he liked her.

I figured they'd say the L word.

Sounds like they're getting serious about each other.

I guess.

Your mom thinks that you like Martin. You know, like, like Martin.

I like him as a friend. A friend who maybe someday you hope to go out with?

Maybe someday.

I don't know.

Relationships don't seem to last as long as real friendships.

So I might not date him ever, because I want to be his friend for the rest of my

life. I wouldn't want dating to get in the way of that. Sounds like a good

I like that.

I hope you and Martin are friends for the rest of your lives. Good friends.

Good friends are hard to find and even harder to keep.

Good night.

Good night, Ruthie.

Love you.

Love you, too.

And then, dun -dun -dun -dun!

Good night, guys.

Good night, Ruthie.

Love you.

Love you, too. Me, too.

Good night, Matt.

Night, Ruthie.

Where was I?

Dun, dun, dun, dun.

Oh, right.

Dun, dun, dun, dun.

The door flew open and little Jonathan's mommy stuck her head in the room just

as I couldn't hold any longer and let out a big... And then what?

Then Jonathan, not wanting his mother to know I'm under the bed, says...

Excuse me.

And Jonathan's mother said, I didn't hear a thing. Good night.

And the moral of the story is, sometimes if you're really good friends with

someone, you have to cover for them until they're ready to reveal

Yay!

Okay, that's it. You have to go to bed.

Night, Roscoe. Good night.

Love you, Matt.

Love you, Sam and David.

Hi. I didn't hear you out here.

Yes, you did.

Did I?

Nice story.

Yeah, well, I was just kind of making it up as I went along.

So, I guess we're all just covering until our friend is ready to reveal

huh?

You know, Kevin knows, Lucy knows, your dad knows, I know, Simon knows, Rose

knows. How long before everybody knows?

I don't know, but whenever it is, it'll be too soon.

Hi. Is Kevin here?

They went home.

Savannah was tired.

Long day for her.

Long day for you, too, I imagine.

Yeah, longer than I expected it to be.

You want to talk?

I don't know.

I guess not. I'm not sure it would be ethical to tell you everything I know.

How about just the part about my family?

Sorry, I don't think I can.

All right.

You say all right because you know that I'm not going to be able to keep

everything I know secret for very long.

I'm scared, Dad.

I really am scared.

I don't know what I thought your work was all about or how I thought my work

would be any different, but it's really frightening that people are relying on

me to help them make decisions that are so important.

Want a little advice?

I could use some advice, yeah.

We're not superheroes.

We're not...

Super reverence.

We're just people.

You know, people who rely on life to show us the way

so we can show others.

Right.

I need to remember that.

I need to rely on a higher power so that I can get others to follow my lead.

Yep.

Just a reminder.

I love you, too.

All right.

I know you're there for me.

So bring it on.

Very funny.

You want me to walk you home? I've got to return this to Kevin.

Sure, thanks.

But my car's in the driveway, so I'll just drive you over.

I just want to make a phone call.

Can you wait outside?

Still working?

All right, well, I wouldn't want to interfere in any way ever again.

Apology accepted.

You can catch a fresh episode of Gilmore Girls on the WB...
