Then Lucy calls a realtor on Tricia’s behalf.  You’re a freaking babysitter, not a PA!  And didn’t Tricia tell you last week she doesn’t need a realtor?

Back to the Margolis house, where Cindy has a talk with Kristin.  Nicholas has been wanting a “manny”.  After asking “is this you trying to replace me?” (answer:  you bet your ass it is!) Kristin says something about doing more outdoor stuff with him.  Not the issue, honey.  By the way, Nicholas has expressed this by shoving notes under Cindy’s bedroom door.  Apparently he’s more comfortable with that than speaking with his mother.  No issues there!

Commercial.

Justin and Ashley meet, and he shares he thinks he has the job with Lindsay Faulk.  He thinks Ashley would be the perfect fit for Heifer.  I think Justin is diabolical.

For her part, Ashley thinks she can handle Heifer because Ashley has experience with newborns.  Honey, the kid isn’t the problem in that home!

 You’ll love it.  Really!  So long as you’re not lactose-intolerant.

They also bad-mouth Amber and agree she got the job with Ari because Amber is not blonde.  Justin then gets a text from Lindsay, saying she’ll make her decision on Monday.  Oooh suspense.  Not.

Back to the Margolis house, where Nicholas is telling Kristin he feels left out (this kid is sharp!) and she’s asking if more play dates would help.  Grow a d-ck.  That’s the only thing that will help.

At the Tree House, a band is playing a song with the scintillating lyric “Welcome to the Tree House”.  Is that the Stones?  Sadly, no.  Lucy is goofing around near the band.  Tricia then takes the opportunity to talk to Lucy.  Lucy’s first remark is “Am I getting grounded right now?  I’m scared”.  Really?  Are you 6?

Tricia tries to explain what the problem is.  Way more tactfully than I could manage, she tells Lucy to let Tricia call the shots.  Don’t help unless asked.  Don’t set up real estate broker lunches.  At this point, Lucy says the immortal phrase “I was just trying to help”.  Road to hell, Lucy.  Road. To. Hell. 

Tricia goes on to say that the kind of help she wants is help with her kid.  She says she feels like “you’re doing a vaudeville act and I’m loaning you my baby for it”.  Oh snap! Lucy shares she’s shocked – no one else has ever told her that.  Lucy, have you ever wondered why no one keeps you, like your trial family of 2 weeks ago?  Hello?

Tricia then says that expecting Curtis to come to the party – even asking if he can – is not respecting the boundaries between employer and employee.   It’s inappropriate.  Lucy says she “forgot I just met you” – again, not the point – this is your boss, not your BFF! – and that she’s happy Tricia talked to her so she can correct things. 

Tricia shares she’s not sure if Lucy heard her.  Spoiler alert . . .

    Great recap! But I have to respectfully disagree with you regarding the wedding.

    Ari was painted like a kewpie doll, her face so full of filler that she could hardly move her mouth to speak. The gown was so tight she had to hobble up the aisle – and how about that sequined reception “dress”?! It barely covered her hoo-ha as she writhed around the dance floor, and would have been tacky in Vegas, let alone on the blushing bride. The sight of the groom (1) expressing his “heartfelt” love by carefully reading the words, and (2) reading them from an iPad at the altar – was sheer comedy. It was like a skit and a laugh track would have enhanced the entire event.

    Oh well … it is what it is …

    How is Amanda paying her way out in BH if she has no job?

    Glad Justin got the job with the Faulk’s. It seems like an awesome fit for both parties.

    Lucy is extremely annoying. Wonder how she justifies her $40 an hour to families.

    Do these nannies have experience in first aid training, cpr etc?

    Good question, labowner, about the nannies’ qualifications in CPR, first aid, etc. I’m sure Lucy would just try to talk a drowned child into spitting out water and waking up.

    I wonder about the “qualifications” of these nannies too.

    Personally, if I had the means and need to hire a nanny, I would hire a middle-aged woman with children of her own and years of real parenting experience under her belt, not some young woman with some babysitting experience but little else in terms of qualifications, but that is me.

    Surly Girl – It was extremely disappointing to read your baseless, senseless comment. Our Wedding was amazing, my husband and little girl were spectacular, I’ve never touched filler in my life and my reception dress is designer. I suggest you swallow your sour grapes and get over your jealousy – it is of course, the ugliest trait of all.

    Thank you TVgasm for portraying our Wedding as it was – lovely and classy – unlike some of those who leave their uneducated comments on this page.

    Margaret– I totally understand your comment (about hiring a middle-aged nanny who’s been a parent), but I would like to point out that there are young nannies who are qualified. I have a BA in Early Education and worked in child care for several years before entering the nanny world. I don’t consider myself young anymore (I’m 30), but I’m also not middle-aged. And I’ve been with my family for over 2 years now and, with a new baby coming, it’s looking like I’ll be around for 5+ more!

    TVgasm–I’m loving these recaps (even though I watch)! I don’t always agree with you, but I appreciate your perspective.

    Ariane–I agree that your wedding was lovely. I was relieved that Amber showed up and enjoyed being with your beautiful daughter.

    Never touch filler in her life? Ha that is almost as good as Heather’s “I’m 98% real” crap.

    Ariane I absolutely LOVED your reception dress, you rocked it! And its not like you were wearing that down the aisle, that was the fun dress and it served that purpose perfectly! But of course there will always be people not liking this or that. You got a seal of approval from the recapper and usually they are the harsh ones so I think thats what you should be happy about!

    It would be neat if you continued to post on this site and whatnot too :)

    Damn I’m late to the party. Damn damn damn. I’ve been trying to catch up on episodes.

    I actually like Amber and Justin. Kristen is pure evil. Lucy is clueless. And sorry, Ari, but NOT buying the “no filler” thing. Nothing wrong with a little help as we age, especially in YOUR town. I think it’s mandatory.
