my summary of episodes in "love Raymond"

my summary of the story in the pilot episode of the series  "Everyone Loves Raymond".
disclaimer all the details are from the episode not mine.
1. Raymond enters the kitchen, where his wife Debra is busy with their daughter Ally and the younger twins. They each tell the other the events that they experienced. Later, Debra goes out to the movies but Ray stays home and cares for the kids. While Debra is gone, Ray's friend Leo arrives at the door and invites Ray with him to Nemo's Pizza. Ray's mother Marie babysits. When Ray returns he sees his father and brother made a mess. He kicks-out his parents and brother. Then he hurriedly cleans before Debra gets home. Later that night, Debra finds the food that Robert gave the kids. She said that she wanted Ray to watch the kids. She demands that Ray tell them NOT to come to her birthday party the following weekend. Ray wants to avoid insulting his parents that they should not come, so instead says that he and Debra will go to Bear Mountain for her birthday. That Sunday, on Debra's birthday, they are at home as planned. Just when they begin getting intimate, his parents enter and see that he lied. Ray tells his parents and brother to leave so that he and Debra can have privacy, but Ally is home and she interrupts them.
2.
Ray is interviewing a sports player, Tommy Lasorda, by phone. At the same time, he is watching Ally and he yells at Ally for eating a cookie. This ruins the interview. Later, Ray and Debra are at Nemo's Pizza. they are with their friends Bernie and Linda Gruenfelder who are very affectionate. Debra tries to be affectionate with Ray, but Ray is too shy to act that way where people are watching. That night after they get home, Debra complains that Ray never says "I love you" anymore. She says "I love you" and he responds "...and I you." The next day, Ray gives a greeting-card to her, saying 'I love you' in writing. Debra complains that Ray refuses to say it from his own initiative with his own mouth. Later, Ray talks to his parents, Frank and Marie, about the situation. Frank criticizes him for wanting to say that phrase but Marie insists that they should start saying it. They begin saying "I love you" yet Debra complains that Ray told his parents. Later, before Ray leaves on a road trip with the New York Mets, he stops by the bed. He starts to neaten the sheets. Debra enters and sees. Ray hugs Debra and says that he loves her - expecting her to finally be happy. Instead after a brief silence, Debra laughs at him.
note: I think that is the reason he hesitated to to tell her for that response whatever her reason for laughing he feared that she would laugh.
