Synopsis

When Eric helps his friend Reverend Morgan Hamilton secretly meet up with his wife's ex-husband Kevin, they are shocked at the outcome that he's paralyzed from the waist down. While covering for the Hamiltons' daughter, Keesha, Lucy unexpectedly goes on a double date with them. Soon Annie and Patricia bust the girls when taking Ruthie and Lynn to the movies. Back at school, Mary clandestinely dates one of Lucy's classmates.

Trivia

• This episode features Simon's first kiss.
• The song Answers which was sung by Chaz Lamar Shepherd in the middle of this episode was written by Chaz Lamar Shepherd and Myron McKinley.

Goofs & Errors

• In this episode we see the Hamilton family talking in the kitchen. Although, the kitchen is completely different from the kitchen that the Hamilton family was being shown in, in the episode "The Color of God" last season. Either they moved from their old house from last season based on the threats of being killed in that episode or the 7th Heaven crew just built a new set for the house.
