Later, Boo and Carl are having dinner at Boo's place. Boo's mom, on a stool because she's still on bed rest, is trying to make paella. She's confused about the recipe though and puts barbecue sauce on everything, to make it brown. Things are not going well, per Boo. Her dad is watching TV. Her brothers are making a lot of noise. Dinner is taking forever. After dinner, Boo's little brother does some sort of cowpoke dance for them while they have dessert. It's kind of amazing, though Boo is not impressed. It ends abruptly and Boo's mom claps and says it's exciting because you never know when it's going to end. Heh. Carl made Bananas Foster for dessert. Apparently, no booze or flambe was involved, because I'm sure they would mention that. When they are doing dishes later, Boo tells Carl that she will marry him, though she wants to finish high school first. She calls herself a loaf of unbaked bread but promises that she will make a good wife. Carl is terrified. He explains that he didn't mean the marriage thing literally. He has to be dramatic to get his mother to listen to him. He thinks it's early to talk about marriage. Duh. She comes off the ledge and they seem happy.
The next day, Michelle and Truly are sitting silently at The Oyster House. Michelle tells Truly to take a breath. Millie, the landlord, arrives. It's Liza Weil! Man, I miss her. I also just started watching The West Wing on Netflix and she's on an episode in the first season. And, seriously, she hasn't really aged at all. In fact, she looks maybe a little better right now. Why doesn't she work all of the time? She's fantastic. Anyway, she sees that Michelle is there and says that, if she knew they were bringing friend, she would have brought Leonard. He's just a friend of hers. They do stuff together. Things are tense. Millie is not keen on lowering the rent. Michelle asks if there's maybe a middle ground they could find. Millie says that she will have to consult Leonard, but she is pretty sure the answer is no. Then, things get weird. Millie says something about Truly borrowing money from "mom" to start her store. Truly says that Millie was "mom's" favorite, what with Millie's fancy parties and perfect daughter. Apparently though, the daughter is no longer perfect since Truly gave her a concussion. Michelle has just caught on. These two are sisters. Michelle tells Truly to go to the bar, then she tries to sweet talk Millie who mentions that they have two other sisters ("One's OK. The other's an actress."- WINNER: Best Line of the Episode). These two have a lot of old animosity towards each other. The biggest thing? Truly stole Millie's boyfriend. The "boyfriend"? Hubbell. Uh oh. Michelle doesn't back out gracefully but instead announces that she married Hubbell. "You're the madam?" asks Millie.
