Over at the I-can't-believe-how-much-time-they're-wasting-on-this-stupid-plotline so-called "Wildlife Rescue Station" (they don't have vets in Glenoak?), the three stooges (Surly, Dummy, and Bitchy -- you decide who's who) are getting dressed down by the, um, wildlife rescue expert or whatever, who, instead of laughing at them for wasting the station's time with a sickly little bird, wants to know what they've been feeding it. "Worms and water," says Kevin, all "duh!" And Mr. Wildlife Rescuer is all, "Oh, great. Don't tell me you bought the worms," and Martin says they came from a sporting goods store, and Mr. Wildlife Rescuer says store worms have parasites. "Perfect way to kill a baby bird," he says, and Kevin and Harry get all defensive about Ruthie, like you'd think she was facing criminal charges the way they react, for God's sake. Harry wants to know why birds are always eating worms in cartoons then, and how it is that nobody punched him for asking such a stupid question is beyond me, and you'd think that if anyone didn't believe in the fairy-tale world of cartoons, it just might be the orphan juvenile delinquent. And Mr. Wildlife Rescuer actually HAS A PAMPHLET that he gives Harry and tells him to settle down, like this is now a public service announcement and we're to believe that this so-called Wildlife Rescue Station has pamphlets at the ready to hand out to people who want to know more about nursing baby birds back to health. And Mr. Wildlife Rescuer says that since Ruthie hasn't been poisoning the damn bird for more than a day, so they should be able to save it. And you can see the relief just written over all the boys' faces. And everybody shakes hands, like what a special moment this is, and then Mr. Wildlife Rescuer goes and hits them up for a donation. Kevin kind of grunts at this, because it's not like the bird's so important that he's willing to throw in a couple of bucks. Tightwad. This is a guy who prefers living in his in-laws' garage to buying a damn house for his wife with all the money he supposedly has.
Simon pulls his car over to the side of the road, where Justin is waiting for him on a bicycle, with another bicycle and a helmet for him. And he gets out of the car. And he and Justin throw smouldering looks at each other. And then they go on the gayest bike ride ever. And that's really all you need to know about that.
Back at the hospital, Charlie has arrived at Leanne's hotel room. And Annie is greatly relieved, and as the young teenagers-who-love-each-other-so-everything-will-be-just-fine whatever, Annie excuses herself, and then goes RUNNING down the hall. What the hell? Maybe she really REALLY needs to use the bathroom. Commercials.
