Lisa's first day at work! She's on the fourth desk! That means that all calls and walk-ins are in a specific order and she's fourth. She's to fill in "the exact spelling of her name" to get her business cards. I'd say be creative! Wouldn't you like to be lEEsA? Her new boss has some advice, almost identical to the Tom Petty song: "The hard part is the waiting." You learn something new every time you watch Now and Again! Like Tom Petty is a good writer and the Now and Again writers are not.
Heather arrives home, slamming the door and yelling "Mom! Moom! MOOOOM!" Then she remembers: Lisa-Mom is at work! Joan Jett's "Bad Reputation" starts up and Heather dances around with her teddy bears for a while, tries on some of mom's feathered lingerie, stops at the too-big bra, dances around some more, heads to the kitchen for some Reddi-Whip and chocolate syrup right into her mouth, makes a giant bowl of cereal and goes to watch TV. Oh, Heather, you know how to live! But, on the TV is a press conference for the "Grapple in the Apple" (oh no) featuring Maceo and another boxer named Tyrell. Maceo talks some very weak trash ("I could hit him with Betty White's fists and he'd go down! His sweat smells like formaldehyde!") and inexplicably, Heather pumps her fist and screams "Righteous!" Oh no -- no. Then the phone rings and Heather's all like "Hi mom...I'm doing my homework," and I feel better about Heather again.
