Episode Report Card Maggie: B- | 1 USERS: A- YOU GRADE IT Ding Dong, the Witch Is Dead

Back at the hospital, Avery sighs, "It was all a mistake. They did some blood tests and a mental status exam and they wanted to keep me overnight but I told them I'm fine. They said I could go home." Let me guess, the mistake is that you don't really have any blood and your status is that you're mental? Ben wants to know what happened and she tells him about being prescribed some pills, which sound very much like antidepressants, after she was shot. She says that she was doing "a lot better" until the night before when she felt "lost and confused." She took two pills, "but they didn't do anything, so [she] took two more." In the end, she didn't know how many she took. I'm no pharmaceutical expert like Molly, or anything, but, to my knowledge, most anti-anxiety medication must be taken regularly for a cumulative effect, and not taken as needed. Presumably, Avery would know this from the prescription directions, so why she thought taking a number of pills at once would work is beyond me, unless she really wanted to hurt herself. Ben asks whether she was trying to commit suicide. She denies it. Ben seems doubtful. I told you guys that she's freakin' Rasputin.
In the library, Felicity and Knoll fling rolls of toilet paper to an accompanying Brit-pop girl band tune. Oh, they frolic and cavort and use up their supply of hundreds more rolls than they brought in. When they run out the fire-exit door, Knoll exclaims that he feels much better.
At the loft, Sean and Meghan are getting ready for dinner. What time is it, midnight? If the library has been closed long enough for Felicity and Knoll to vandalize it, it must be well past the usual dinner-party hour. Meghan mentions that she has to check the ham, and Sean freaks out. I predicted that he should have discussed the menu with her. However, Meghan is kidding about the ham; she's actually cooked a chicken. There's a knock at the door, and Meghan answers it to find a youngish, attractive woman holding a bottle of wine. The woman introduces herself as Marissa Levin, the rabbi, to a stunned Meghan. Sean welcomes her with a hug. She takes a seat while Meghan speaks to Sean in the kitchen. It seems that Sean neglected to tell Meghan that his rabbi "looks like a Hooters girl," at least according to Meghan. For the record, she does not look at all like a Hooters girl. Sean is understandably annoyed by this description of his spiritual guide. Meghan intimates that Sean was only interested in studying with his rabbi because of her looks. He informs her that Rabbi Levin is a Talmudic scholar. Meghan thinks that Marissa looks like she could give a lap dance. Sean doesn't appreciate her comments and asks Meghan to give the rabbi a chance. Meghan wants proof or an ID that Marissa is indeed a rabbi.
