Ep 6. Just You Wait and See

The Camden family faces various challenges and changes in the fourth season of 7th Heaven, and episode 6, titled "Just You Wait and See," is no exception. In this episode, the focus is primarily on the youngest Camden child, Ruthie.

Ruthie is a precocious and headstrong 8-year-old who often finds herself in trouble. She is determined to be independent and often acts without thinking of the consequences. This episode starts with Ruthie being grounded after getting into trouble at school for calling her teacher "old." She is upset about being grounded but is even more upset when she overhears her parents discussing a potential family move to New York City.

As the episode progresses, Ruthie becomes fixated on moving to New York City and tries to find ways to convince her family that it's a good idea. She starts by researching the city online and sharing all the exciting things she has learned with her siblings. However, when she realizes that her family may not be as enthusiastic about the move as she is, Ruthie becomes more determined than ever to prove that it's the right decision.

Throughout the episode, we see Ruthie try to make arrangements for the move, like calling her old babysitter from New York to ask for help finding a new home. She also tries to sway her older sister, Mary, into wanting to move by showing her pictures of the fashion district and explaining how she could become a model. However, her sister is not swayed and continues to express her displeasure at the potential move.

Meanwhile, the rest of the family is dealing with their own issues. Matt, the oldest Camden child, is struggling with addiction to pain medication after a surgery, and his parents are trying to help him through it. Simon, the middle child, is dealing with a new girlfriend, and his parents are trying to navigate his first relationship. Finally, Lucy, the oldest daughter, is trying to find her place in the world after graduating college and is unsure about her future.

Despite these family struggles, Ruthie continues to push for the family to move until she eventually realizes that she doesn't want to leave her current home and family behind. In classic 7th Heaven fashion, the end of the episode offers a heartwarming resolution to Ruthie's dilemma that includes the whole family.

Overall, "Just You Wait and See" is a classic episode of 7th Heaven that deals with family issues and the struggle of growing up. It shows how even the smallest member of the family can have a big impact on decision-making and ultimately highlights the importance of communication and love within a family.
