Full House – My Little Hickey

By: Gladys Luna

Ramona (Soni Nicole Bringas) storms in the house yelling at Popko (Isaak Presley) for giving her a hickey. The young man throws her a prideful smirk and fake apologizes to her for doing that. He confesses though that she is so beautiful that he just could not resist it. Ramona manages to hide the hickey by making a pony tail right down her chin. When they are still in the middle of the argument, Kimmy (Andrea Barber) walks in and sees the new look Ramona has apparently created. She doesn’t suspect a thing so she believes that the pony tail on the chin is the “teenagers new summer do,” something that Ramona has decided to call as “chin tail.” Kimmy gets immediately drawn to it so she does one for herself. She takes a picture of both of them and uploads it to Instagram with the hashtag “chin tails sisters.” Popko compliments the two of them and then is asked to leave by Ramona. Kimmy is about to leave the living room when she meets Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) who stares strangely at Kimmy´s new look. She explains that that´s how the cool kids are doing it. Ramona laughs and Kimmy leaves. When Ramona attempts to go to her room, Stephanie yells “see ya hickey” to Ramona and the girl freezes right on her spot. She asks for the woman´s help to cover the hickey from her parents and Stephanie agrees. She asks Ramona to talk to Kimmy, but she is afraid of what her mother would say so she respects the girl´s decision and keeps her secret. Ramona tells her that if she confesses Kimmy about what happened, she would give her the “hickey talk,” then the “boy talk” and then she would start singing the song she wrote for Ramona about her body changes.

Jackson and some of his friends are playing on the kitchen. DJ (Candace Cameron Bure) enters the room and greets Jackson´s mystery friends. The kids are joking with each other and Jackson introduces them as Mankowski (Trevor Larcom), Nugs (Marleik Mar Mar Walker) and Gene (Roni Akurati), who seems to have watched the whole movies in the world and he keeps quoting those movies without actually holding a stare. Mankowski seems to be surprised at DJ and keeps complimenting her while Rocki (Landry Bender) watches them from the kitchen counter. Jackson and her friends retreat to the guy’s bedroom in order to study.

The doorbell rings and DJ yells that it “is always open.” She is surprised to see Fernando (Juan Pablo Di Pace) standing there. He is acting weird and introduces himself as though they have never met. He walks into the living room and starts to check everything around with nostalgia. Max comes in and he is not so pleased to find Fernando has returned. The man goes over to Max and carries him, but the kid asks him to put him down. When Fernando is about to go into the kitchen, he is stopped by DJ and Max and chased outside the house. DJ locks the door, leaving a very sad Fernando yelling from outside.

Stephanie and Ramona are at the girl´s room while the woman applies some make up on her to cover the hickey. Ramona is surprised at Stephanie´s work. The woman calls herself as “The David Copperfield of Hickeys” first you see it and then your parents don’t. Kimmy (Andrea Barber) enters Ramona´s room and is surprised that her daughter is not wearing the chin tail anymore when she has already accessorized hers. Then, she realizes that they are doing make overs and she feels sad that she was not invited since she considers that makeovers are Ramona and hers thing. Ramona attempts to walk out of the room to go see Popko and play Laser Tag, but Kimmy stops her by claiming that Laser Tag is their thing too. Ramona walks out leaving a sad Kimmy behind. Stephanie attempts to comfort her and when Kimmy stops crying, she leaves her behind too.

DJ and Tommy (Dashiell Messitt/Fox Messitt) are playing on the backyard with Tommy´s car while Fernando shows up from the other side of the fence. DJ asks him if she can help him with something and he invites himself to cross the door he just made in the middle of the night at the fence and into the Fuller’s backyard. Fernando walks into the kitchen, leaves the freezer door open, takes a bite from one of the fudgsicles and hides from DJ and Tommy. DJ starts to look out for him, but she couldn’t see that he is hidden behind the counter. She walks into the living room while Fernando runs upstairs.

Steve (Scott Weinger) is at Kimmy´s room tasting all the cakes that Kimmy had brought for him. He is taking his time as he doesn’t want to repeat the same story of his first marriage. This means every time he looks at a certain cake, he wonders to himself why didn´t ask for a pre-nup. Kimmy seems to be impatient to go somewhere else so she tries to rush him into choosing a cake, but he doesn’t take this lightly. Stephanie walks in the room and is surprised to see Kimmy feeding Steve with all the cakes one after the other. When she asks her why she is in such hurry, the planner confesses that she wants to surprise her daughter at Laser Tag. So, she re hires Stephanie as her Junior Assistant and asks her to attend to Steve. Steph is surprised to be re-hired since Kimmy assured her that she couldn’t afford her, but she tells her that she will cut her payment by half. Kimmy asks Steve to take his time and don’t worry about the deposit. He then turns to Stephanie and tells her to hurry him up and get his money as soon as possible.

In the meantime, in Jackson´s room Mankowski, Gene, Nugs and Rocki are studying. Max (Elias Harger) walks in the room and gets mad at seeing that Nugs is sitting at his bed and over his unicorn. He walks straight to him and takes the stuffed animal with him. Then, he sees Gene petting Cosmo and he gets even more upset. So, he calls Cosmo to go after him, but the dog does not respond. Then, Mankowski confirms him that they have changed Cosmo´s name into Derek. He tells him that apparently the dog´s real name is Derek and he knows it cause he can speak with dogs and he suddenly gets sad when he realizes that he can´t speak to cats. He has two cats at his place, but he doesn’t know what they truly want. Max can´t take it anymore so he calls DJ and asks for her help, but the woman is so busy looking for Fernando. When she arrives at Jackson´s room, we could see Fernando right behind her. DJ witnesses how the other guys treat Jackson as though he was their leader and how good they make her son feel. She gets so excited that she invites them some pizza, but Max asks her no to do it or they´ll keep coming back just as Fernando does.

Kimmy arrives at the place where the kids are playing Laser Tag looking for Ramona. She starts to shoot at other kids while jumping up and down from rock to rock and doing somersaults. She finally finds Ramona and the girl is not so pleased to find her there. Popko joins them as well and Kimmy is surprised to see some bright dots all over his face, apparently his zit cream is lighting up. Kimmy keeps shooting at other kids, but Ramona stops her and tells her that she is embarrassing her. That is when Kimmy notices some light patch on Ramona´s neck and, of course, Ramona lies to her about it. Then, somebody announces that they have found a mature lady on the premises and addresses to her as a “possible mom” so they stop the game and turn the lights. That is when Kimmy notices the hickey on Ramona´s neck.  Popko pretends to be surprised so he asks Ramona who did that to her and she replies that he did so he shoots at himself and disappears from the place. Kimmy asks Ramona why she didn’t tell her about it and then starts to sing the “body changing song.” Then, she remembers Stephanie helping Ramona with her makeup so she figures that Stephanie knew about it and kept it from her.

Fernando is hidden under a bed, DJ and Tommy walk in the room and then, Tommy throws the ball under the bed and Fernando returns it, that´s how DJ finds out where he really is. He explains to her that he feels so lonely in his new house and misses Kimmy, Ramona, his friends and the dog named Derek. So, in order to cheer him up, DJ allows Fernando to visit the house between 9am and 6pm when she is working making the man truly happy.

When Kimmy and Ramona arrive at the Fullers she gets mad at Stephanie for not telling her the truth about her daughter’s hickey, but Stephanie makes her see that what she is truly mad about – the thought of possibly losing Ramona and Kimmy accepts it. Kimmy goes to Ramona´s room and apologizes to her and opens her heart to her daughter and tells her she can talk to her about anything. Ramona promises to trust in her even more in exchange for Kimmy promising to her not to sing the “body changing song” ever again. Even though Kimmy is not sure she can fulfill that promise, she will do her best to keep it.
