Jim and Marsha actually look at their tickets at this point for the first time, and they discover that Marsha has a ticket at 9:10, and he and the crew have tickets at 10:30. But she has no ticket at 10:30, probably because, again, you cannot have tickets for both, or because the lady didn't realize she was saying she wanted tickets for both -- in which case it was Marsha's responsibility to check and make sure she got both tickets, given the strange nature of her request. Marsha finally gets on the stick about getting herself on the waiting list for 10:30, but by now, of course, that flight is sold out and other people (including the Twinkies) are on that waiting list ahead of her. She just bungled the airport, is all. Bungled it good. The lady tells her there's maybe a ten percent chance they'll make it onto the 10:30 flight. Aww.
At the standby counter for the 9:10 AM flight, the first people who are allowed on are Colin and Christie -- who appeared to ask first, as well as specifically asking to be put at the top of the list. Second on are Mirna and the Medical Emergency. Whatever. I hope they get airsick. These are the only two teams that are going to make the 9:10. Again, why Mirna's innate moral sense of "firsties" didn't kick in to prevent her from snaking ahead of Brandon and Nicole when they got themselves on the standby list before she did is...well, it's not clear, entirely.
