Now for the Pilot... Who knew that it was such a sprawling episode? I guess first episodes should be that way. Of course I started out trying to squeeze as much as possible into one week, but no way would that work. There have to be a few skipped days for this timeline to work. Here goes :

Day # 1 (possibly a Wednesday) : Rick and Lily eye each other in carpool line. That night at Lily's, Grace talks about make-out parties and how she's not a candidate. Judy offers running commentary, and Lily calls Jake to confirm he's coming to the soccer game "tomorrow."

Day # 2 (Thursday) : Grace twists her ankle during the game, and Rick and Lily chat nervously in the school office. Rick, Karen, and Eli meet with school counselor. That night, Rick phones "Elizabeth" and she calls him back when the coast is clear. They make a date, I'm guessing the very next night!

Day # 3 (Friday) : David offers commentary on Rick dating a "mother." Judy inquires when Lily will sleep with him. Grace, at school, tells her friends that her mom has a date that night. Fast forward to that night, and Zoe and Grace "comforting" Lily as she gets ready to go out. First date/dinner with Rick -- first kiss(es), too! Lily returns home to anxiety-laden Grace.

Day # 4 : Now for the fun part... I think we skip forward to Monday or Tuesday -- we're back at school, with Eli telling Grace that she should come to the party Saturday. Judy and Naomi badger Lily about setting up her next date -- she should call Jake! Lily calls Jake and asks if he can take the girls "Thursday night, to stay over?" Shocker, he agrees.

Day # 5 (Wednesday) : Eli is at the apartment, getting ready to study with Rick....who says that "the mom" called, and they're "gonna see each other tomorrow night.."

Day # 6 (Thursday) : Bowling and making out in the car. Back to Lily's for "other things," which are interrupted by Jake bringing the girls home. Jake and Lily fight, Lily attempts damage control with Grace.

Day # 7 : I think this is Friday at the coffee house, because Rick asks Lily "How'd it go?" as if it picked right up from the night before. Lily regrets that their timing is off, and they part ways. Later that day, at work (Rick same brown sweater all day), David boasts his exploits to Rick, and Karen stops by with news that Eli failed his test. That night over dinner at the apartment, Rick tells Eli that Jennifer has to go home.

Day # 8 (Saturday) : Early evening, and Lily wonders why Grace isn't getting ready for the party? Grace tells her mom not to kid about her life, and Lily tearfully suggests to her daughter the reason she, Grace, is scared -- she wants more, she doesn't deserve less.

At least 2-3 days pass, over which we see Rick at work, Lily searching in carpool line, Lily taking a walk and coming to a decision. She calls Rick that night to set up another, more postitive, date back at the coffee house -- the next day, I'm sure!

And they're off.......
