Today's Opening Credits Timewaster consists of various CamFam members moving baby crap into the CamDen. I see a lot of wicker. Finally, we've got a room full of what looks like no less than seven bassinets, a rocking horse, a rocking chair, and a pie. Not a good showing, Camdens. And really, there's just no excuse for them, of all people, not being total experts on what to buy for a new baby. It's really the only thing they're qualified to give advice on, not like that stops them. Happy observes the proceedings with her usual look of indifference mixed with disgust. Annie says they have about an hour before Matt is supposed to bring Lucy home. Kevin says he has one more gift to get and asks Ruthie if she wants to come with him. She does. They leave.
RevCam takes a seat on the couch, earning him some nagging from Annie, who says they still have work to do. RevCam protests, saying that he isn't even invited to the shower he apparently has to work so hard to set up. Annie tells RevCam he is welcome to attend. RevCam says it's an "old-fashioned" "ladies only" shower. I still don't see why he can't go, but thanks for the clumsy exposition, CamRents. Martin enters with SamVid and says he's taking them to the park to play baseball, because I guess the Camdens' backyard disappeared during the hiatus. RevCam bitches that he'll be stuck at the CamPound "helping." Martin and Vid agree that that sucks for RevCam, and the three take off.
"There's still...some presents...in the trunk of the car...that maybe you could...get?" Annie says to RevCam, making some weird gesture with her hands. It seems that the Mackenzie Rosman Odd Pause Delivery Virus is very contagious this week. The presents are from Mary, by the way. "Such a shame she can't be here," Annie says, not really looking all that sad about it. I bet Jessica Biel isn't too sad about it either. RevCam asks Annie if this entire room full of stuff is from them to Lucy. Annie says it is, because that's how people live on a tight budget; they spend a lot of money on new stuff when they could have just given second-hand things or, better yet, made Kevin McMoneybags pay for the stuff for his own damn baby his own damn self. Annie says she can't wait to have a "new baby" in the house, the "old" babies inhabiting it being, of course, Annie and Lucy. RevCam pauses, then wonders aloud if Kevin and Lucy shouldn't be living in their own home soon, even if Annie doesn't want them to leave the CamPound. Annie makes a scary face, then suggests, her tone flat and her jaw set, that they could "build onto" the CamPound. "No. We can't," says RevCam. At this, Annie does her best impersonation of a duck. "No," says RevCam again, but his attempt to flee the room ends in hilarity when he trips over the rocking horse. At least Annie has the decency to not laugh in his face, which I certainly didn't.
