There's a knock the HR lady's door. Timmy enters, and HR lady, who totally knows who he is even though HR people rarely have contact with hospital patients, asks him what's up. Timmy says that there's been a mistake. ["Also, if Timmy's well enough to stroll around the hospital eavesdropping and taking meetings with the personnel office, why don't they just...release him? Oh, yeah. Insane Hampton logic." -- Sars]
Junior high. At Deena's urging, Simon tells Beth that he "phrased things" wrong the other day, and he has a girlfriend. Beth says she may have doodled Simon's name in a notebook, but that doesn't mean she can't accept reality. She knows Simon's dating Deena and she isn't stupid. Then what was that whole "I'm telling my mother!" thing about? Suddenly, Beth drops two notebooks, and Simon picks them up for her, being sure to catch a glimpse of their contents because he is, after all, a Camden. They're filled with other boys' names. Beth tells Simon he's not the only boy in their school. Simon says he doesn't think he can handle being friends with a girl at this point in his life. Beth says she really wants a boyfriend. "I'm sure the right guy will come along," Simon says totally realistically. He takes off and meets up with Deena, who's all proud of herself for solving this problem. Except for the fact that she created the problem in the first place. Shut up, Deena.
Friend Frienderson goes up to his locker, which happens to be next to Beth's. She closes her locker and leaves, being sure to toss a notebook over her shoulder as she goes. Friend picks the notebook up, and notices that his name is doodled inside it, along with the requisite hearts. What a slut Beth is! She'll write ANYONE'S name in her notebook. Friend is delighted, even though he knows that Beth had a crush on Simon only yesterday. Aw, I love it when two exceptionally pathetic people find love with each other.
