Wilson says that this is a second chance for him and Mary. This would be their third chance. They were together from "Dangerous Liasons" (Season 1) to "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" (Season 2); Wilson broke up with Mary. Next was for "Boyfriends" and "Girlfriends" (Season 2), after which Wilson went away to school. That brings us to Season 5, which would be their third chance at a relationship.
NITPICK: Isn't it a little odd that both Eric and Annie are being approached by unmarried acquaintances at the same time?
Ruthie: (to Annie) You are not allow to have guy friends. You are a mother.
Lucy: Will you marry Me!? Jeremy: Uh... Lucy: Hello! I asked will you marry me?!
Lucy: Yes. Jeremy and I are in love, and we're getting married. Eric: This isn't like you. You've always been so smart, so levelheaded. Lucy: I am smart and levelheaded. So why can't you trust that I'm making the right decision?
Ruthie: You shouldn't ask strangers for help.
Lucy: This was the best day of my life and now it's ruined! Why did you come back anyway!
Mary: Hey Mom and Ruthie I'm home. Ruthie: Thank God, give the phone lines a rest. Annie: Oh, I didn't know you and Robbie were back. Welcome home. Mary: Yeah some welcome home no ones here. Where is everyone? Annie: Well, me and Ruthie have been working on the new room for you over garage. Everyone else is out they'll be home for dinner including Lucy's new boyfriend. Mary: So you're building a room over the garage for me? So you and dad can make sure that me and Robbie are as far apart as possible. Robbie told me not to but I really need to talk to you and dad. Where is he? Ruthie: Probably with his new girlfriend. Annie: You fathers at the Church. Ruthie: Yeah with his girlfriend. Mary: Dad has a girlfriend? Ruthie: Serena. Annie: No he doesn't. What's wrong? Mary: It's about the rule that... Never mind.
Mary: What are you doing here? Wilson: I'm trying to stop you from making a huge mistake. Mary: What we had in New York stays in New York and I'm leaving New York. End of story I want to go home. Wilson: Yes, but do you want to go home to Robbie? Mary: Yeah. I love him. Wilson: No, you love me i know you do. Come on, how many people get a second chance? This is our second change, don't blow it. Mary: I'm sorry Wilson, I'm going home and thats what you should do to just go home and forget about me. It's over.
Mary: We need to talk! We need to talk!
Robbie: No you didn't! Mary: Yes, I did!
Mary: What are you doing here? Wilson: You belong with me in New York. Robbie: Who's this clown? Mary: Robbie this is Wilson, Wilson-Robbie.
Matt: I'm dating Cheryl, Robbie's ex-girlfriend Cheryl. Mary: That's great. Um, if you'll excuse me I need to go find Robbie. Matt: Look, I need everyone in the family to know that I'm dating Cheryl. Ruthie: I must be slipping. I didn't see that one coming.
