Susan asks Jerry if she has any messages, but she doesn't. Neela reports her drooling case to Pratt. Jerry says that there's a guy on the phone for Pratt who says that the party's at 8:00 PM, and that the ball had too much bounce. Pratt retorts that a bet is a bet. Pratt compliments Neela. Shane walks up with a chart for Pratt to sign. Jerry asks whatever happened with Eugene. Why does Jerry care? Shane says he sent Eugene home, and Pratt points out that Eugene is still there. Neela says that Eugene is a frequent flyer. Shane looks around for Morris to yell at him for dumping the chart, but Morris is busy making an announcement that he's the new Chief Resident. Shouldn't Susan be the one to make that announcement? Pratt asks Susan if this is a joke, and Susan points out that he didn't want it. Chuny says that they have a number of traumas coming in from a fire in an apartment building. Morris starts barking out orders, and everyone just laughs at him. Neela wonders what Abby will say about this when she finds out, which is a really clunky line, and only serves a segue to the next scene where...
...Abby says "Jesus Christ." I'm really not a fan of the whole "Cut to a new scene that seems to fit in with the last scene, with humorous results" style of editing, but I did chuckle at that one. Anyway, Abby is standing next to Jake while his niece is baptized. That totally wouldn't happen. Well, I guess it depends on the parish, but in my home parish, that totally wouldn't happen. I almost didn't get to be my nephew's godmother because although I am baptized and confirmed, I'm not a practicing Catholic, and they couldn't find a practicing Catholic to be the godfather, and one of you has to be. I'm just saying -- they're pretty strict about who they let participate in the ceremony, and I know Abby's not particularly religious. Abby would be sitting in the second pew with Jake's other siblings or aunts or cousins, or relegated to the third pew with the rest of the heathens. The best part is that some dude behind Abby and Jake is holding up a camcorder with one hand and it's shaky and moving all around. Ah, crappy home videos that no one ever watches. Abby looks really pretty, and Jake looks really...ecstatic, like kind of creepily so. He asks Abby if she's okay, and the priest totally busts him and gives Abby a stern look. I note that Abby doesn't respond "I do" when asked all the questions about rejecting Satan and believing in Jesus Christ. She keeps glancing around at all the iconography. Jake is, like, sweating, he's so excited. It's freaking me out. He takes the baby from his sister or sister-in-law or whoever.
