Sasha trots off to call her mom just as Robbie and Ruthie walk in. They explain to SuperMom that Ruthie's principal, Mrs. Mackoul, was very understanding and that Ruthie does not have to attend homeroom. Ruthie thanks Annie for her help and leaves. Annie tries to get Robbie to tell her what Ruthie's been up to, but he refuses. SuperMom says she just wants to know if Ruthie's doing anything criminal. ["I assume they aren't counting her 'acting.'" -- Sars]
There's a brief interlude where Simon confronts Sasha in the kitchen. She reassures him that she may be able to convince Annie to let them date again. Simon dons a look of horror and excuses himself. As he turns to leave, his earring flashes very visibly in the light. A small part of me wants to know why he's wearing the earring when he was expressly forbidden to do so not very long ago. It's just a very small part of me, mind you.
Robbie and Annie are continuing their standoff in the hallway when Simon comes up and drags SuperMom away. He wants to know if Annie is going to let him date Sasha again, but she assures him she won't. She gets a little hysterical about Ruthie, but I'll just pretend I never saw it. Fortunately, it's a short scene.
That brings us back to Dopey and Doc, who are sitting in a restaurant that may be the pizza place where Mary used to work. Doc is spewing some nonsense about how Matt is conflicted, "like every other human being on Earth." That's nice of you to say, Doc, but trust me, Dopey is not normal.
RevCam drops in on Harold to let him know that he'll continue meddling in Harold's business as soon as he finds Dopey. It's mainly an excuse for RevCam to mention that Dopey missed his evaluation, and that someone had seen him leaving the hospital with a patient. Thanks for the exposition, but I think most of us already figured that out a while back.
Dopey tells Doc that he thinks of him as some sort of holy man. Doc smiles. Or maybe he's just trying not to laugh at how stupid Dopey is.
When we return from commercial, Sasha is busy giving SuperMom a lengthy technical description of how two people can breathe through each other's noses while kissing. Now, I'll admit that I'm way geekier than the next person. I mean, I'm the only childless adult I know who used to have a membership to the Ontario Science Centre, and I'm always willing to listen to explanations of scientific things, no matter how obscure, but I have to agree with Annie that this just isn't something I want to hear about. When Sasha is done explaining, I'm even more sure I didn't need to hear it. Annie, on the other hand, seems to be turned on once she hears the explanation, and when RevCam wanders in, she tells him that there's something she wants to try later. Okay, must not think of CamRent sex life, must not think of CamRent sex life. Aauurgghhh, too late! Damn you, stupid Camdens! Annie shares her asinine fears about Ruthie "conning" her teacher, and RevCam lets her know that Dopey missed his psychiatric evaluation. When Eric leaves, Sasha shares some more with Annie. She mentions that her father is a "professional con artist," because he has some shady-sounding job related to corporate buy-outs. I could tell you about how Annie starts quizzing Sasha about whether her father was funny as a child, but then you, too, will be embarrassed to be a member of the same species as the writers.
