So I missed the first few minutes because I was walking the dog. It's doubtful that I missed much because this entire episode revolved around 2 phrases: 'Mary's having a baby.' and 'You're lying.' They were reiterated in at least 6 different incarnations throughout the hour. yawn
Now let's see what we all learned from the family with no personal boundaries.
1. Simon is a hoochie. But at least he feeds his ladies after a night of awkward and anonymous love-making.
2. Women should be virgins until they are married. Men don't have to be because they are pure by virtue of their gender. Also, women should be interrogated about their sexual history, but it's completely inappropriate to question a man about his. Blech.
3. Annie is 3 meatloaves away from hacking up her family and shaping their remains into tiny decorative rosettes.
4. You can center an entire show around a character that no longer appears and hasn't in 2 seasons. And you can talk mad smack about that character!
5. It's perfectly acceptable to leave two 6 year-olds unsupervised for long periods of time.
6. If your adult children don't tell you every detail of their lives you, as a parent, have a responsibilty, nay the right to seek out their secrets anyway possible. Methods include snooping, eavesdropping, lying, driving/flying vast distances to meddle and then emotionally blackmailing them into revealing said secrets.
7. Eyebrows and Mac are totally using Ruthie as an excuse to date... each other!
8. Matt is an asshat. So is the Hag. And RevCam. And Eyebrows... you see where I'm going with this?
9. If you get married, have a baby and then move away from your family, your marriage will end in divorce.
10. Women, especially unmarried women who do not possess the last name 'Camden' are evil and manipulative and will either fake-pregnancies or give you diseases that make your manly bits fall off.
11. After reading #10, by that token, marrying these evil girls will cure STDs?
Whatever. This episode really annoyed me because it demonized women to a sickening extent. What was up with Simon getting all squicked that his lovah had been with other men... he said they weren't exclusive! Double standard much! And I really am beginning to feel bad for SamVid because they are becoming aware that no one pays attention to them... ever! Also, I lost a tiny bit of my soul tonight because I found myself agreeing with the Cyborg when he told the Hag Simon's trouble with his manly bits was his business and everyone should stay out of it. And which was creepier... Mac trying to make time with Ruthie or Mac and Eybrows alternating between saying they liked her and that she was like a sister to them. Please, the 2 of you, just move to Vermont and raise sheep together. You'll be much happier, I promise!
In closing... Annie needs to stop tweaking over every single thing, Ruthie needs to find a boy that isn't like a brother or possibly gay, Simon needs to get off this show to save his career, Matt needs to shut up, the Cyborg and the Hag need to move out, SamVid need human interaction on occassion and oh, RevCam, here's a ladder! You can use it to get over yourself!!

OMG!! I was just on TvTome.com reading the Season 1 episode guide ... ah, memories!!! Why was this show picked up for a SECOND season????
This is from this season: Meanwhile, Eric and Annie continue their journey as soul mates, parents and grandparents whose love and respect for each other brings them ever closer.

And I can't believe they are making an entire storyline about a character who's actress does not have a contract with the show and will not ever appear again, are the writers that bereft of ideas? Will season 10 have storylines involving only dead characters?
I'm sure once you've kicked some vampire a$$ in Blade 3, there ain't no going back to Glenoak!
Unless you are going to kick some Camden a$$!!!!

Kicking Camden @ss... awesome!
Drinking tuna juice... nasty
Marrying PrincessConsuela and having mandatory recaps... PRICELESS!

Oh please, oh please, oh please!! That would be awesome! I hope she turns SamVid into vampires (they're already blank and dead-eyed) and she and the twins feast on the blood of their soulless family members. At least that way SamVid will finally be getting attention from someone!

Ahh great recap! I was at jury duty yesterday, kind of sulking and feeling bad cause the last place I wanted to be snowed in was Criminal Court in Riverhead...But then I rememered the words of the Rev. to the hag in season 3 when the hag had jury duty...That is the civic duty and responsibility of each and every one of us to serve...That we are all busy but we must make time to give for the greater good of the nation...And then I went and bought 3 pounds of fudge at the outlets to help get me through the afternoon...3 pounds of sugar helps the jury duty go down...

On July 22, 2003, Stephen Collins (Eric Camden) signed a contract to be on the show for two more years. The contract was worth $10 million dollars, which means he is getting over $225,000 an episode.

Thank you for the recpa - my husband forced me to watch American Idol last night while the genius that is 7th Heaven was on....

I think that's grounds for divorce!
You know, I feel so appreciated with the welcome back that I'm getting for the recaps!

As we were watching the Idol, i did mention that we were missing Heaven.....and I believe Tom's reply was 'umph'...which I took to mean, he wasn't interested in changing the channel....and if I tried to get the remote he would turn the cat on me..... so for the sake of my arm staying attached...I didn't bring up Heaven again

OMG! I forgot my favorite quote of the whole show!
RevCam called a family meeting over waffles at midnight and remarks, like the @sshat and lame patriarch he thinks he is:
'I love waffles. They go so well with the truth.'
