episode #1
Chuck, having been elected Rush Chairman for his Tridelt chapter, returns to the house a few days before everybody else, along with the Exec Board.
Chuck has spent all summer preparing for this. He even went furniture shopping during the special Delta Force Convention (which was held in North Carolina) so that he could personally decorate the houseparent suite for his friends - the new houseparents, Mike Huckabee and his wife. After losing the Republican nomination to McCain, Huckabee was not sure just what to do. Chuck wanted his buddy by him (Besides, Huckabee is really used to Chuck being right by him by now) so the Tridelts just moved their old housemother to another chapter. Here is the scene:
Chuck: "Here's the suite--I supervised the decorating myself."
The Huckabees: No response ---they are speechless.
Mrs. Huckabee: "But -- it's almost entirely black!"
Chuck: "Well, the linens are white."
Mike Huckabee: "Uh, Chuck -- All that black it just seems - evil. I just don't know if we can stay here with all that black in the room." Mrs. Huckabee raises her eyes to heaven and starts praying.
Chuck: "I tried to interject some color --Look at the fish aquarium. Live Beta fish. But I have an idea. Since I'm good at everything, I thought I'd be good at decorating, too. Maybe NOT."
Chuck gets on his phone-- "Uh, Nate. It's Chuck. I have a problem."
Faster than you can say "Move that Bus!" Nate is there, assessing the situation. "Black & White Toile from Scalamandre-I can see it now-- throw rugs over that black carpeting--a different paint color--awesome chandeliers, white eyelet and yellow accents." Suddenly Nate is off scampering around the entire house, making plans. "Redoing an entire sorority house! Chuck! I haven't had this much fun since grad school. And we'll film it for Oprah & she'll pick up the entire tab. OMG! I can see it now. How much time do we have? I have to call Lowes." Chuck smiles his knowing smile. This ought to help them have a great rush. The other houses will be so jealous. It's great to be famous and have friends in high places. His sisters will be so surprized to see their rooms. Black & white everywhere -- and Nate even chose a different paint color and a different pattern for the bedspreads, curtains and pillow shams for every room. It all coordinates --
Chuck decides that his work is done for the day so he skips Exec Board (all they are talking about now is the redecorating project, anyhow) and practices his roundhouse kicks in the back yard, while watching Nate's workers perform their miracles in the midst of chaos. Just a few more days and he gets to see his Big again. She'll be next door. No roomate for Chuck, he gets his own single. The alums on the Risk Management Board insisted on this. And we'll have to see how the communal shower thing is going to work out in Chuck's case. Didn't someone say that he'd be getting his own shower, too once he moved into the house?
NEXT: The Tridelts come back for Membership Preview "Chuck-Style."
