Dark Side of the Prom

Just then, Steven appears onstage to announce the prom king and queen. Then, something that makes no sense happens. "Before I begin, I'd like to take a moment to reflect…on our Superbowl Champion New England patriots!" Everyone cheers. Three guys fall on the ground and make snow angels, with no snow. I have no idea what is going on. Is this a reference to something? The Superbowl was months ago, so this is obviously a joke of some kind, but I don't get it. Somebody please explain. Anyway, he announces the winner. Popular Guy #2 wins prom king. Transgendered Robin wins prom queen. No one claps for a while…but why? Doesn't his winning mean that the majority of the people there voted for him? Whatever. Anyway, Steven crowns him and says, "Son, I certainly hope this is what you wanted." Robin tries to get offstage, but the prom king reminds him that the king and queen are supposed to dance. He has to ask three times before Robin realizes he's not joking, and so they begin to dance. It's very sweet. Marilyn sings "Somewhere Over The Rainbow." Ronnie begins to choke up, and then loses it completely, when Harry points out that some guy has asked Natalie to dance. Scott and Lauren are dancing, and she observes that his hands are cold, and he says, "Well, truth be told, I've…I've never danced with such a beautiful woman. I know that embarrasses you, but please accept a cold hand, as a compliment." She kisses him on the cheek. Harvey dances with Louisa for some reason. Lawrence dances with Marla. Natalie and her random boy dance. Nerd dances with his Hot Date. Marilyn sings. The ball glitters above the proceedings. Awww.

Next week: Actually, my tape cut off before the teaser, but I did get to see that ad for "choosing a Playboy Centerfold." What the hell is the point of doing that on network TV?
