By Deborah | Season 2 | Episode 21 | Aired on 04.14.2005
Luke suddenly wonders, "Do you think there will be? A biological attack someday?" Friedman starts to stutter an answer when Luke's cell phone rings. Luke panics a little, picking it up and saying, "Who, who, who, who?" We see an image of Grace looking annoyed on his phone display, although it's way clearer than it would actually appear. Luke tells Friedman who it is, and Friedman says, "Buzz kill! Let it ring!" Luke is getting more panicky, saying he has to answer it because it won't stop. Friedman: "It's Grace! You might as well give the feds a jingle!" What? Yeah, Grace is all over police and state intervention in the lives of the citizenry. It stops ringing and Luke says, "She hung up. She must know…" Friedman tells him to chill out: "Let's put some music on!" Friedman rambles about Snoop Dogg as Luke becomes mesmerized by Friedman's groovy swirling screensaver. He tells Friedman his computer's on. Friedman says it's in power save mode. He decides Pink Floyd is too obvious a musical selection. ["Making that the first time in history that that has ever happened." -- Sars] Luke's crawled over to Friedman's monitor now and, through the fish-eye lens of the webcam, tells Friedman that his camera's on and pointed at them. I can't even tell you how much I don't want to think about Friedman and…webcams. I think my soul just left my body. Luke gets more panicky: "Dude! We could be mass broadcasting all over the internet!" Friedman assures him it's not online and decides on Björk, then dismisses her as "too Nordic." Through the webcam, we see Luke starting to freak a bit: "No, dude, it could be mass broadcasting all over the Internet!" Friedman gets shrieky: "Dude, stop saying 'mass broadcasting all over the Internet'!"
Pouring rain. Darkness. Lights and sirens as police cars approach the Nashman Recreation Centre. Joan's in the front seat of Will's car, and Grace is in the back. Joan: "He was pretty upset, wasn't he?" Grace says he was. Will: "How upset?" Joan: "I don't know. I didn't want to talk to him." Grace: "Me, neither." Will: "This is important. There's a family history of suicide." Joan: "Yeah, we know that, Dad." Grace asks if Joan's tried calling him again. Joan says she just keeps getting voicemail. Grace suddenly points: "There! That's the trail we used to take." Joan moans: "Oh, God…" Grace points out Adam's truck. Joan's freaking: "Oh, my God!" She pulls her hood up and leaps out of the car, screaming his name. She beats on the side of the camper, and then walks toward the woods, screaming, "Adam!" Grace looks in the truck window. We go to commercial as Joan keeps screaming.
