Tension mounts in Kevin and Lucy's marriage as they continue to grieve over losing their babies. A hurt Lucy even blames Kevin in public in front of everyone at the church for miscarrying their boys. Lucy begins to disconnect more from the family as she's spending more time at the movies everyday alone at the promenade. Although, Lucy finds some solace with theater usher, T-Bone, who she feels able to talk to about her feelings.
Meanwhile, Annie consoles a distraught Kevin and tells him to talk to Lucy. When Kevin finds out what's been going on between Lucy and T-Bone he is less than thrilled. Meanwhile, Sam and David's second grade teacher, Ms. Margo flirts with Eric when dropping the boys off to school, which makes Eric very uncomfortable. Eric also finds out that Sam and David have been referring him as their "Grandpa" instead of their father to their teacher.

Quotes

add »
Kevin: Lucy and I had a fight.
Eric: So did Annie and I.
Kevin: (a little confused) And you're happy about that? (edit)
T-Bone: I mean, don't you get a little tired of being around them?
Lucy: No. They're my family!
T-Bone: Exactly. You can't talk to your family about your family. I mean, that's how you ended up losing it in Church. You need a friend to talk to. (edit)
T-Bone: I just want to get to know her better. Maybe it will work out, maybe it won't.
Kevin: I know it wouldn't work out.
T-Bone: No offense, but don't you think that's kind of up to Lucy?
Kevin: Look, pal, I could have you arrested.
T-Bone: No, you couldn't.
Kevin: I could try.
T-Bone: I haven't done anything illegal!
Kevin: I'm betting you have. Let me see your driver's license.
T-Bone: What for?
Kevin: You look more like 15 to me. (T-Bone rolls his eyes, pulls out his ID, Kevin looks at it for one second) It's fake.
T-Bone: Okay. Maybe Lucy and I could just be friends.
Kevin: I don't think so. (edit)
Sandy: He tried to seduce me!
Lucy: Well, just try to appreciate it for what it was.
Sandy: But Martin is in love with me. He wants to marry me, and I don't want to marry him!
Lucy: See? Careful what you wish for. (edit)
Sandy: I get the feeling that you're upset with me. Are you upset with me?
Lucy: I didn't say that.
Sandy: Just say it.
Lucy: I don't want to say it! I don't want to be upset with you, I don't feel like being upset with you. I just don't want you to blame my husband if you end up making any mistakes with Martin. (edit)

Trivia

add »
In this episode, Lucy tells the 18-year-old movie theater guy that she is 7 years older than him, which would make her 25 but in the pilot episode, she was 12, so she would really only be 23. (edit)

Allusions

add »
T-Bone: I'd be more than willing to be your Ashton if you'd be willing to be my Demi!

When T-Bone says this to Lucy, he is referring to Hollywood stars Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, who have been dating for a few years now, despite a significant age difference. (edit)
