Synopsis[]
Debra decides to take the kids to Connecticut to visit her parents, so Ray is left home alone for the weekend. But he soon realizes how scary a big empty house can be at night and he has trouble sleeping. And the fact that Ally's noise-making toy, a voice recorder doll, was left in his bedroom didn't help.
So he visits Robert's apartment and they get to arguing who is more scared. They inevitably both end up at Frank and Marie's house.
Running Gags[]
- Ray and Robert's wimpiness is mentioned throughout the entire series, and this episode mostly focuses on that issue.
Trivia[]
- Actor and comedian Kevin James had recently gotten his own new show, "The King of Queens", on CBS in which he played a delivery man for IPS, the International Parcel Service. In this episode of Everybody Loves Raymond, he guest stars as his character, Doug Heffernan, from "The King of Queens". It was part of a number of cross-over episodes CBS was doing with their primetime sitcoms: Everybody Loves Raymond, The King of Queens, Cosby, The Nanny, and Becker.
Production Notes[]
- The credits squeeze slightly right in this episode in today's reruns.
- Today's reruns use an alternate version of the Where's Lunch dish from Robert Moves Back. The dish moves counterclockwise, west, and slightly north.
Quotes[]
- Marie: "You sick? You in trouble? Someone bullying you?"
