Kevin wants to give Simon his big wedding present early: paying for the expensive rings, but Simon has no idea. He plans to work enough shift to pay off that debt. Ruthie blurts out that she kept Matt's secret for years and asks for a small one in return. The scheming and speculations about a possible wedding cancellation continue to complicate everything.

User Reviews

milk and cookies

this episode should rather be titled "milk and cookies". reminds me of some sort of saying that would suggest "everything comes together at the dinner table". or in this case over a little milk and cookies. i am surprised all of the characters involved in sharing and eating the milk and cookies is so recieveing of milk and oreo cookies. it was oreos to be exact. not chocolate chip cookies or oatmeal cookies or peanut butter cookies. they made it seem like oreo was America's favorite cookie. as though the world likes oreos so much there is no other kind of cookie out there. so then chocolate chip, peanut butter, and oatmeal etc. don't exist at all. i wonder if they had to pay oreo to use their product so much. or maybe oreo paid them to boost oreo sales and thats why the episode chose oreo every single time and not some other kind of cookie. but what i really really want to know is how did the milk carton stay stocked. they never ran out of milk. thats a lot of milk for a lot of characters and it always seemed to have milk in it. thats impossible. they must have changed the milk carton during shots where it wasn't being used so that the next scene with it would have milk ready. sneaky.
