...the dayroom, where Dean's enthusiastically playing Checkers with himself for some bizarre reason as a female voice calls out, "Eddie?" Dean lifts his luxuriously lashed doe eyes in the direction from which the voice originated to find a rather severe-looking brunette smiling down at him. "I'm Doctor Erika Cartwright," the severe brunette announces. "I've been assigned your case?" And as Doctor Cartwright takes a seat opposite Our Intrepid Hero, I should note that at this point, viewers in the know would have recognized that Something's Not Quite Right With Dashing El Deano, for this good doctor's name just happens to be the feminine version of Foghat's guitarist's. "You mean she's...!?" A mere figment of Dean's increasingly addled imagination? Yes, my impressively fanged companion, that's exactly what I mean. "Well! I certainly never saw that one coming!" I'll resist the urge to reply "That's what she said!" and instead admit that the reference flew past me, too, the first time I watched this episode. Then again, I was battling back a triple-digit fever last Thursday evening, so I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of references flew past me the first time I watched this episode. Sorry if I ruined the surprise for you, though. "Worry not!" Good. "By the by...!" Yes? "What on earth is a 'fog hat'?!" Don't play dumb, you dizzy lizard. Dean's better at it than you are. "Hee!"
