In this very funny, censor-teasing Benedictis & Rowland story, Ellen hits it off much better with Matt's daughter Mia (Ebick Pizzadili, who would return) than Paige does.  In the midst of a science museum exhibit on the female reproductive system (my favorite part of the episode), Ellen decides that she'd like to have children one day.  But babysitting Mia while Matt and Paige go camping shows Ellen that motherhood is much harder than it looks, especially when Mia picks up on a swear word Ellen uses.

In a title sequence that wasn't then ironic on the surface, RuPaul teaches Ellen how to walk in an evening gown.  This is the 500th show I've reviewed from the '90s.  I think we'll make it to 600, but I can't say beyond that.
