speaking in a commanding voice, and doing what he wants, while Randy obediently conforms, following orders with a warm "Yes, Mr. Lahey". At the same time, Lahey holds deep affection for Randy, and is usually seen as sad whenever Randy breaks up with him. Similarly, Randy holds deep concern for Lahey's well-being, specifically his severe alcoholism. Randy patiently tries to bring out the best in Lahey by subtle means. For example, with Lahey's drunk antics going out of control, Randy videotapes them with the hope of showing them to him later. Randy calls Lahey "Mr. Lahey", except on very rare occasions when he is angry with him and (rather contemptuously) calls him "James". Lahey affectionately calls him "Bo-Bandy" occasionally when he is drunk. Like Lahey, Randy drinks heavily, but he is sober more often than Lahey and acts as the voice of reason during Lahey's occasional lapses of sanity. Although he starts smoking marijuana in Season 7, Randy no longer smokes after that season. Lucy Lucy (played by Lucy DeCoutere) is Ricky's on-and-off again girlfriend from the first season to the tenth season. Ricky is extremely loyal to Lucy, but Lucy is promiscuous, especially when intoxicated and stoned on marijuana, but Lucy expressed a genuine desire to be a responsible parent and will go to great lengths to ensure that Trinity does not end up like her father. Lucy and Julian had a brief relationship after high school, which Julian would rather forget (it is occasionally implied throughout the series that Julian, not Ricky, is Trinity's biological father, though this is never confirmed). Her relationship with Ricky has taken many turns throughout the series; at the end of the first season, she agrees to marry Ricky though she never seemed interested in doing so, but she breaks up with him after he's arrested during the wedding. In Season 2, Lucy starts going out with Ricky's nemesis Cyrus, but the relationship falls apart after Cyrus' meltdown from failing Grade 10. Ricky is finally able to rekindle their relationship during the fifth season. She also tends to gravitate toward men who can do something for her, or demonstrate the ability to elevate her to a status level better than the one she has. This is why she rejects Ricky when he is down and out, but takes him back when he starts to grow dope or has any moderate amount of money.
