Question
Hi Barry,
I hope you don't mind... but I missed last nights episode and it's killing me to know what happened.  I am normally able to watch it but my son wasn't feeling well and before I knew it, it was 9pm.  Of course I wouldn't have watched it with him being sick, but I didn't realize it was so late and wasn't able to set the tv to record.
I hope you're able to help!
Thanks,
Jennifer

Answer
Hi Jennifer,

  I would be glad to help.

Ruthie - Ruthie(and everyone else)have new cell phones, but Ruthie is upset that no one is calling her. Eric gave her number out to some people. Her ex-boyfriend Peter and Vic had it, and Vic was trying to get Peter to call her. Also, Martin's friend Mac was calling her looking to get together. Vic persuades Peter to stop by the house and see her. When he does, he walks in on Ruthie talking to Mac, and telling him that she would rather be with Peter. When the two come downstairs, Peter has lipstick on his mouth.

Lucy - Lucy decides to turn down the job offer of running the shelter for the unwed teen mothers. But she has the perfect replacement. Annie. The lady who was behind this job offer agrees and Annie gets all excited about this new job for her.

Simon and Rose - They are having dinner with Rose's ex boyfriend, Umberto. He makes a few wisecracks to Simon and Rose about wanting her back, but they weren't entirely untrue. A blond girl who goes unidentified calls Simon on his cell phone and informs him that she is outside in the parking lot. He decides to take a walk and leave Rose and Umberto. At the end of the episode, Rose grabs Simon's phone and calls the last number dialed. The blond girl picks up and asks if Simon was coming back out. Simon takes Rose's cell phone and calls the last number dialed. Umberto answers and asks if she thought about what he said to her.

And that was the end.

Hope this fills you in. Thanks for writing. I hope your son is feeling better.
