Martin moves in. Martin wants to play professional baseball when a scout offers him the chance to play for the Miami Gators. Eric won't let him do that and he emails Martin's dad about it. Chandler's father left him in charge of his business. Chandler's mother wants the money, but Chandler won't give it to her or Sid. Cecilia teaches Sam and David how to ride a bike without training wheels. Annie won't let Ruthie go to a party. Lucy gets in the middle of it and then says that she and Kevin are moving after she and Annie fight.
This was a great episode! I loved it a lot for some reason. I agree with Eric, Cecilia, and Martin's dad about Martin playing in the major league. He's too young, and should finish high school. This episode gets a 10!moreless

TRIVIA (7)
ADD TRIVIA-
Annie has taught everyone of her kids except Sam and David how to ride a bike.
-
Nitpick: In the episode It TakesA Villiage in season 2, Annie lets Simon go to a party with no questions asked so how come when Ruthie wants to go to one she's making a big deal out of it?
-
NITPICK: When Cecilia was in the kitchen with Annie and the boys talking about their "Surprise," Annie later allows the boys to go outside to ride their bikes while her and Cecilia stay in the house. Would she really let two four year olds outside without any adult supervision who just learnt to ride their bikes?
-
Reply: They were in the kichten for maybe 2 minutes and they are 5-yrs. old they were riding pretty good in my book and if something happen being them inside or out nothing can stop them from falling down inside or out you would get an immedite response..
-
Someone mentioned this on the board and I think this should qualify for a nitpick---In Major Leauge Baseball you have to be done with high school and you have to be drafted in order to play.
-
Nitpick: When Kevin and Lucy were talking about moving, lucy was sitting in a chair by the bed and Kevin was standing in the episode "I wasn't expecting that!" Kevin and Lucy had a living room. Why weren't they sitting in there when they were talking about moving. A living room just shouldn't appear for only one episode.
-
Why were Eric and Annie showing Martin around the house now? He moved in in the episode When Bad Conversations Happen to Good People, which was two episodes prior.
