RevCam calls a number and gets Carlos and Mary's answering machine. "Hi honey, it's your dad," he says, and then there's about five silent seconds before Carlos, holding the new baby, picks up. Carlos is surprised that RevCam is calling, since he so "rarely" does. What a great father RevCam is! Carlos explains that Mary's not in because she's trying to have a real acting career and that does not include appearing on this show. Also, she's at a "political rally," but Carlos is not allowed to tell RevCam which candidate it's for. RevCam assumes that Mary is campaigning for the person that he isn't, but he says that isn't important. What is important is that everyone is registered to vote in the upcoming election. He says some more stuff, but at this point, Carlos put the phone down and starts saying "blah blah blah" to his baby, complete with mouth-imitating hand gestures. Lucy comes in the house and announces that she and Annie are going out for dinner. Carlos hears this and makes fun of RevCam for not having dinner "at this hour." RevCam blames the election for his hunger. He says he has to go, but asks Carlos to give his love to Mary and the baby and reminds him, once again, to register to vote. Carlos hangs up the phone and asks Charles why parents are so difficult to listen to. In the case of RevCam, it might be because they're nagging blowhards. Charles makes cute noises and puts his hand in Carlos's mouth. Aw!
Martin comes downstairs and says he's going out for dinner. RevCam asks him to get something for everyone. Martin says that he would, but since Ruthie called him stupid, he won't. Apparently, Martin has forgotten that he was the one who started the name-calling. Maybe it's because his dad is a marine in Iraq.
Vid comes downstairs with an empty dinner plate and says he doesn't know where Sam is. Sam comes downstairs, also with a plate, and Vid leaves. Sam says that Annie made him a sandwich, but he doesn't know "anything" about Vid or his dinner. Wow, this Sam vs. Vid plot is thrilling.
