Cross-fade to Elizabeth just as I'm wishing there weren't so many damn people in this family. She's in the Good Doctor's office. He walks in and says that the nurse said it was an emergency and is she all right? "You tell me," Elizabeth says. "Is there a problem between us?" she asks with a happy-happy-la-la-la grin on her face. The doctor tells her that this woman that he's been in love with for a while is divorcing her husband and now he's going back to her. Elizabeth says "for the record" that she didn't ask for the relationship between them and that he came after her. Um, hi, Elizabeth? Yeah, uh, this is Pamie. I've been watching the show since the beginning, and...uh, well, he like, tried to dump you about three different times and then you took off that ring and then you took off your top and I don't think he was putting any roofies in your Metamucil. I'm just saying. For the record. "I hope she's worth what you've just thrown away," Elizabeth says as she leaves the Good Doctor's office.
The VP leaves a message on the machine asking Mitch or Mary to come down to her office tomorrow to discuss Meghan. Mitch gives Meghan a look as Meghan's hair looks down innocently as the Testosterone Guitar starts cranking up again.
Rain is falling as The Chosen One and Cameron come face-to-face in the parking lot as Tennisha goes on about "the prey surrenders" or something but I'm not listening because The Chosen One is opening her mouth so wide to kiss Cameron that her bottom lip is at the bottom of his chin. She closes her mouth and does it again. She's got him air-locked from nose to neck. Nasty.
Kenny goes up to Rebecca's door. It's still raining. Rebecca opens the door. Her hair is dry. She says, "Hey." She pushes him out the door and asks, "What are you doing here?" Her hair is wet. They walk out into the rain as Kenny asks what's going on, why isn't she returning his calls? "I left, like, eighteen messages on your machine." "We don't have an answering machine," she says. Wah-wah-wah-waaaaaaah. Rebecca then says what I predicted aptly just four nights ago: she's moving. "You know, the whole military thing?" she reminds us. "When?" he asks. "Tomorrow." "Tomorrow?" She says she has to go pack. He asks her to wait. She turns around and says she's done this drill before. She's practically already gone so he should just get over it. She goes inside the house and leans against the door in tears.
Cue the musical rain montage. Kenny walks off with his cargo pants sagging with pocket puddles. Mary is in her car crying. Meghan is leaning against her giant bay window watching the rain. She's not crying, but, you know, she can't. She raises her hand to trace the fog on the window. What will she write? Will it be "Dan" with a heart around the letters? "I RuLe U?" "MeGhAn RoX!" No, not our intellectual. She writes, "TELL," as the song goes on about finding the words to say, and then she wipes it away with her hand. Meghan lowers her head to see if this is it, if this is the one scene where she can actually make real tears come out of her eyes. She's got her fingernails dug deeply into her palms. She's sitting on a tack. She's blinking. She's blinking. Will this be the scene? Nope. Fade to commercial.
