EVENTS:
Jessie gets her period
In the rush to prepare for a hiking trip (and the unannounced arrival of Lily), Jessie goes to the bathroom and suddenly announces the arrival of her period.

Rick cuts his finger
In attempting to make a sandwitch for the hike, Rick is slicing tomatoes while trying to force conversation between the kids, himself, and Lily when he slices his finger. This is the event that causes Lily to spend quite a bit of time with Jessie in the waiting room.

EPISODE TIMELINE:

Not currently available


TRIVIA:

Stargazer
Rick was really into Astronomy when he was young.

NIT PICKERS:
When did they tell her?
In the Pilot, Rick says that Karen went and got the kids and then they told them together that they were getting separated. In one of her interviews, Jessie says that she was having coffee with Rick when Karen came in and then they told her.

What are Smegeffites?
Are Rick and Jessie quoting from a piece of classic literature, such as Beowulf, or is this a children's story (maybe "Whose Forest Is This?" that Nancy and Ethan wrote in thirtysomething) or is it something they've made up?

Spiders scary, blood not
[Jessie's fear of a spider] in LAOS, seemed all the more improbable in TBD, as Jessie confided that she had to pick up the injured rabbit when her dad was too squeamish. -- LaChefski
