The Formans were in the kitchen for breakfast. Red, Laurie and Eric were sitting down while Kitty and Liz placed the food on the table.
"So, look at us. This is just like a Norman Rockwell painting. Mom and sister Liz are serving breakfast. Daddy's reading the newspaper..." Laurie began sweetly. "And brother Eric is trying to hide a big, purple, nasty hickey." Laurie finished.
Liz shook her head at her sister stirring up trouble.
"What? Hickey? I don't have a hickey." Eric denied.
"You know, Eric, hickeys lead to dirty things." Laurie stated.
"Yes, and you would be the one to know, Laurie." Liz called her out.
Laurie huffed at Liz.
"For God's sakes, don't let Donna suck your neck. She's a nice girl." Red ordered.
"I don't have a hickey. I was using a curling iron." Eric lied unconvincingly.
"Oh, will you look at that." Kitty licked her finger and rubbed the mark on Eric's neck.
"No! Mom!" Eric shooed her hand away while Kitty smirked.
"Red, remember that time-" Kitty started.
"No, and neither do you." Red cut her off, obviously knowing what she was going to say.
"Okay." Kitty laughed. "So, Laurie, what's on the agenda today?" Kitty asked.
"Agenda?" Laurie questioned.
"A list of goals or actions one might feel good about achieving so as to..." Kitty began to explain as if to a small child. "Kids, you tell her." Kitty turned to Eric and Liz.
"Mom, come on. Relax." Laurie shook her head. "I'm still getting used to being back home."
"Yeah, flunking out of college can be draining, phew!" Eric said sarcastically.
Liz chuckled at him.
"Eric." Red warned.
"Oh, come on, that was so mild." Eric defended.
"Laurie, all you do is sit around the house and watch television. You should come down to the hospital and volunteer." Kitty suggested.
"She's right, Laurie." Red agreed, standing and walking past Kitty.
"Daddy!" Laurie protested.
"No." Red mouthed silently behind Kitty and shook his hand dismissively.
Laurie smirked proudly.
"You know, I think Eric needs an agenda. Look at his neck." Laurie said pointedly.
"It's a birthmark. It's been there since birth." Eric lied yet again.
"Good morning, class." Hyde greeted with a yawn as he walked into the kitchen.
"Good morning, orphan." Laurie said lamely.
"Good morning." Hyde replied going to get coffee.
Liz looked at him surprised that he didn't say more.
"That's all you got?" Laurie prodded confused.
Hyde held up his finger to tell her to wait.
"Whore." Hyde added after Red left the kitchen.
Liz giggled and Hyde winked at her.
"Mom, he called me a whore." Laurie complained.
"Yeah." Kitty acknowledged plainly. "Steven, honey, you're too young for coffee. Have some juice." Kitty advised.
