Vanessa's not at all happy to come home from working the night shift and see a homeless man perched on the edge of her sofa. "How do you do?" he asks politely. Donna comes out of the kitchen stirring a bowl of pancake batter, explaining, "That's Mr. Clarington He's homeless. I was coming out of Trader Joe's and he was hungry so I was just going to make him a few pancakes. I know it's not a great meal, but --" Vanessa asks about the boys, and when Donna says they're at school, Mr. Clarington senses the tension in the room and starts getting up to leave. "You cannot bring strange people home," Vanessa hisses. "This isn't Canada." People do that in Canada? I'm totally moving up there if I ever end up homeless. Mr. Clarington's out the door, saying he never meant to cause trouble. "Never ever come back here!" Vanessa yells at him. Donna's scandalized. And then she's fired. Vanessa says she needed someone to help her, not make audition videos and bring in homeless people. Vanessa tells her to pack and leave right now. Donna sadly says she has nowhere to go. Vanessa doesn't care. Near tears, Donna says, "If I get something from Survivor, can you forward it to me?" Vanessa gapes at her before managing to say yes. Donna takes her pancake batter back into the kitchen. I guess the next time we see her, she'll be Miss Alli's problem.
