Lucy walks into her room to see Ruthie "borrowing" some of her make-up. The sisters share a stupid, annoying heart-to-heart about the fact that Ruthie says she is in love. She won't name the object of her affections, but we all know it's Robbie.
John is nervously preparing for the arrival of Priscilla's parents, while she tries to calm him down. He's still unaccountably disappointed by the fact that Matt's not around. Priscilla tells him to go find the Dopester, since it's obvious John won't be comfortable without him. That's a little weird. Will Dopey be joining them on their honeymoon, and wherever they end up living, too?
Time for more phone fun. Robbie calls Mary in Buffalo. You can see snow falling outside the Colonel's house. Mary harshes all over Robbie for going out with Lucy. Wait -- I thought we'd cleared this whole stupid mess up, but evidently Mary has as much of a short-term memory problem as the rest of her family does. All right, I'll play along. Mary hangs up on Robbie. At first he looks confused. Yeah, Robbie, that's when happens when someone is sick of you and doesn't want to talk to you anymore. Like, I'm sure you've never been hung up on before. The camera pulls back, and we see that RevCam is sitting next to Robbie. Yuck, that's a little creepy. Eric tells Robbie to call Mary back. I love how they're always complaining about money problems but then everyone's totally frivolous about long-distance calling. So Robbie phones Mary and tries to explain about RevCam taking him in off the street. She doesn't believe him. He motions Eric to come and listen in. Ew, this has gone past "a little" creepy. Mary hangs up on Robbie, and he tells RevCam that he tried. Eric tells him to try again. He does, and this time Mary believes him. But I'll bet that after the next commercial break, she'll have forgotten this conversation already and will go back to asking about Lucy and Robbie's romance. Annie walks by and sees Eric listening in. She leaves in disgust. It's pretty funny.
