Martha and Martin enter Martha's house. She thanks him for walking her to the house, and he tries to leave. Martha asks if he wants a drink, but Martin says he doesn't drink. Martha offers coffee, but Martin doesn't like the taste of coffee. Martha offers soda, then juice, then water, desperate to find a beverage choice that will make a man stay at her house. Martha says she wants to "do something" to pay Martin back for being so nice to her. Martin says he can stick around for "a minute," and Martha leaves to make some tea, saying that "rookie cops are all alike." Martin's brow knits. Although perhaps "weaves -- on one of those big-ass looms" is a more fitting description when it comes to the shag carpeting currently residing above Martin's eyes.
Kevin gets a glass of water from his own fridge, and I'm surprised that he didn't go to the CamPound for one. I'm sure they've got individually bottled Evian over there. There's a knock on the Treehouse "door," which is actually more like a hatch in the middle of the floor. You know, like what most homes use as an entrance to the attic. Congratulations, Treehouse of Lurv! You are officially more pathetic than Mike Seaver's garage apartment on Growing Pains. RevCam enters and asks Kevin if he knows where Martin is. He called the pool hall, but the poor sap stuck on RevCam duty that night told him that Martin left. Kevin says Martin is probably somewhere with Mac, but RevCam doesn't think so, since everywhere on the Promenade is closed. Kevin says he'll make some calls, but RevCam wants to get started calling the police and the hospital. Kevin breaks it to RevCam that Martin was talking to a "girl" who hasn't been anything close to a girl in about seventy years. Suddenly, Lucy wakes up and butts into the conversation that there was a "twenty-something-year-old girl" (I'll let that pass, since when you look like Lucy, Martha Plimpton probably does look like a twenty-something-year-old girl) who Kevin let believe that Martin was a rookie cop. Kevin makes a "thanks for tattling, bitch" face, and RevCam asks Kevin why he would do something like that. Kevin says that it was "just a joke," made because Martha is always hanging around police officers. RevCam lectures that Kevin's joke wasn't funny and that "it's illegal" for older women to pick up younger men. Kevin tells RevCam to go back home and he'll track down Martin. "I don't think it's funny, either," Lucy says, like anyone asked for her opinion or has even been paying attention to her.
