RevCam takes a different tack and asks Annie if she's planning on apologizing to Matt and PC. "Why?" she asks. RevCam points out that Annie was a totally rude bitch to them when they arrived last night. Annie says she wasn't rude, she was "just surprised. Caught off guard, if you will." Fine, Annie, I will. I will also look forward to punching people I don't like in the face and then claiming that I was "surprised" and thus, blameless. Annie continues that Matt and PC "need to be here next week when everyone else is here," because she wasn't paying attention to anything anyone said last night. RevCam says that they don't "need" anyone to be here, they just want them to be there. "I need you to get the turkey today," Annie non-sequiturs, "okay? A nice, big one. Make sure it's free-range and fresh, not frozen." It's great that Annie's into free-range stuff and all, but if you buy a bird a FULL WEEK before you plan on serving it, I'm not sure how "fresh" it's really going to be come mealtime. Maybe Annie meant "fresh" like The WB uses "fresh" to describe new episodes of 7th Heaven. In which case, the Camdens can expect a Thanksgiving dinner that's actually just a regurgitation of eight years of past Thanksgiving dinners, which really weren't all that tasty to begin with. Annie's turkey talk makes RevCam lose it, and he breaks it down to Annie that they can't get such a huge turkey because there won't be many people for it to feed. Upon seeing the crazed look on his wife's face, however, RevCam tries to cover by saying that at the very worst, they'll have leftovers. With a demonic grin, Annie tells RevCam not to worry about Matt and PC not coming because she "took care of it." She then shoves RevCam upstairs and returns to her vigorous gourd-scooping. Hmm…I hear that abuse of cucurbitaceous plants is one of the first signs of insanity.
And just how did Annie take care of things with Matt and PC? Well, as an angry Matt explains to RevCam, she called the Director of Medical Education and asked if Matt and PC could have Thanksgiving weekend off. RevCam's reaction is what appears to be an impersonation of the Grinch, like, nice try livening up the mood, Rev, but you've got the wrong holiday. Matt continues that when the Director told Annie that he wasn't in charge of the students' schedules, Annie called the Dean. At his home. Instead of worrying about his increasingly unhinged wife, RevCam hopefully asks if this means that Matt and PC will be home for Thanksgiving. Matt says they certainly won't be and that Annie "needs to get a grip." At this point, I think it's safe to say that the only person who needs to get a grip is RevCam, on the phone cradle, during an urgent call to the Glenoak Sanitorium.
