Review by: 7th Heaven Joy

Eric requests Elvis music when the nurse asks him what kind of music he wants during surgery.  As he falls asleep, he starts dreaming he's on a stage with a totally black background dressed and singing as Elvis into a microphone.

Annie called home to talk to Ruthie who was babysitting the twins.  She told her that her dad was doing well and Ruthie said she refused to go to the hospital because she was mad at her dad for lying to her.  She hung up because Sam was trying to put David in the dryer.  Lucy expressed her fears of something happening to her dad to Robbie in the hospital cafeteria.  Her fears of losing her dad grew into fears of losing Kevin.  Lucy told Robbie she was ready to marry Kevin.  Robbie didn't want to be the first person to have that information and told Lucy to take it back.

Simon brought Annie some coffee and expressed frustration that Matt and Mary weren't there.  Annie assurred Simon that Eric didn't want Matt to miss his mid-terms.  Annie told to Simon to let go of his guilt.  Simon told her he wasn't feeling guilty and that he wasn't angry at himself then left.  Lou showed up and asked Annie how they were going to deal with Eric's absence at the church.  Annie angrily told Lou not to make this her responsibility and to wait for Eric to come out of surgery.  Lou left and Annie walked out in the hall to see Ben who told her he was there to see how he could help.

At home, Ruthie lectured her brothers not to put each other in the dryer.  At the hospital, Sarah showed up and Annie was excited to see her.  Kevin showed up at the hospital because Robbie called him.  Robbie told Kevin that Lucy was ready to get married.  Kevin got angry at Robbie for calling him away from work for that.  Since he had already cleared his schedule thinking it was an emergency, Kevin stayed.  Robbie told Kevin to go ask Lucy to marry him and Kevin said no.

Lucy asked Annie how to know when a guy is the right one to marry.  Annie told her she would just know and Lucy told her that Kevin was the one.  Sarah brought them food and asked where the guys were.  Annie said that guys don't like to wait and Lucy said she's kept Kevin waiting long enough and was going in search of him.  Sarah asked Annie if there was anything she could do and Annie sent her to convince Ruthie to come to the hospital.  Ben found Kevin in the cafeteria and told him that Lucy said she was ready to get married.  Kevin explained that he wasn't going to ask her because she was feeling ready because she was afraid of losing her dad.  Kevin also told his brother that he wanted a more romantic place than a hospital to propose and that he also wanted to ask Eric's blessing first.  Ben laughed at that and tried to explain that he was romantic because he'd worn a tie when he proposed to Mary.

Robbie asked Simon what his problem was.  He told Simon that if he didn't want to talk to him that he should talk to someone and get past his attitude problem.  At home Ruthie answered the door to find Sarah.  The twins called their sister-in-law Aunt Sarah when asking what she brought them.  Sarah convinced Ruthie to come with her and that if Ruthie wasn't convinced to go to the hospital, that Ruthie could have Sarah's horse.  Lou came back to the hospital and told Annie that he and the deacons decided to close the church for the next to Sunday's.  Annie didn't think they should close the church.  Lou left and Simon came in to tell his mom he had to go talk to someone.

Kevin finally talked to Lucy who tried to beat around the bush before finally asking him if he was going to ask her to marry him.  He said no and she asked if he wanted to break up and he said no.  She got angry trying to figure him out and he left.  Everyone left at the hospital sat around together in a waiting room and Lucy told Kevin that he needed to leave Glen Oak right then because he was no longer welcome at her house.  Kevin said they should talk.  Lucy asked him if he was going to ask her to marry him and when he said no, she told him they talked.  She yelled at him and finally stood up to leave.  After she left, Kevin left.  Annie told Robbie and Ben to go talk to Kevin and Lucy.

Sarah took Ruthie to meet a friend of hers named Susan.  Simon met with Det. Michaels and told him about taking a baby to the emergency room a couple weeks before.  He expressed that he wanted recognition for the good thing he did but couldn't.  Det. Michaels assurred Simon that God knew about the good thing he did.  Susan told Ruthie about her rocky relationship with her own dad and Ruthie finally decided to forgive her dad and go to the hospital.

Ben brought Lucy to where Kevin and Robbie were sitting in the cafeteria.  Lucy and Kevin managed to talk to each other through Ben and Robbie until they would talk to each other directly.  They finally talked alone and Kevin knelt down to propose, but then realized he couldn't.  He told her he wanted to ask her in his own way which would have been better and a surprise.  Simon ran in the cafeteria to tell Lucy, Kevin, Robbie and Ben that Annie wanted everyone.  Sarah and Ruthie showed up when Annie was in with her dad.  Lucy announced that Kevin would ask her to marry him someday soon.  Everyone said they wanted to be the first to talk to Eric.  Annie came out and told them everything went fine and took Ruthie back first as Sarah went to call Matt with the good news.  Ruthie and Eric apologized to each other then Ruthie kissed him.  Kevin then came in and asked for Eric's blessing and got it.  Lucy came in and asked her dad if Kevin asked him and she hugged him.  Simon came in and apologized again for what he had said to his dad the week before.  Eric said they could talk once he got out and Simon said they didn't have to because he let it go.  Robbie came in and told Eric he looked good.  Ben came in and Eric asked about Mary, but Ben hadn't heard from him.  Eric told Ben he was family to them.  Sarah showed up and Eric was excited to see her.

Annie told Eric that the deacons were closing the church.  Sarah said her dad was willing to fill in and Eric went with that.  Annie said she would call Lou.  The nurse came in and kicked everyone out.  Annie stayed behind a little longer to talk to Eric.  Eric asked Annie to forgive him for lying.  Annie did, but warned him not to ever do it again.  Eric fell back asleep and dreamt he was Elvis singing "Rock-a-Hula" with a Hawaiian scene background and his family dancing around him.
