Commercials. Hands up, everyone who's tired of the Blue Man Group.

Will, dressed for work, leans over his sleeping wife and kisses her gently, telling Helen she slept through two snooze alarms. Amateur. I can sleep through nine. She sits up with a start as Will tells her all the kids are already up. Helen: "I had the strangest dream. I saw Judith. She was in our kitchen." Will tells her she's been working too hard. Helen says she was making tea and Judith just walked through the kitchen. She doesn't tell Will about Judith walking through solid objects. "I could have sworn I was awake." Will feels her forehead but Helen assures him she's not sick. He kisses her hand and takes off. Frink: "She turns around and finds the cup." She turns to get out of bed, and notices the shiny chrome yellow mug on her night table. She picks it up and looks slightly freaked.

Joan and the Misfit Posse enter the cafeteria as she bemoans physics. She swears she studied and got decent marks: "But it's like I never even saw this stuff before." Luke: "Physics is hard to retain. It's counterintuitive to the way we day-to-day perceive the world. I mean, we ignore the quantum and trust the Newtonian. It's habit." As they arrive at their table, Grace says, "I have no idea what you just said." Friedman: "That's because men understand science better. They've done studies." Both Grace and Glynis slap him in the head. Hee. He howls slightly, and adds, to Glynis: "Not you. You don't count." She smacks him again. Slow learner, this boy. Glynis is wearing an intensely peach-coloured T-shirt with some kind of rainbow picture on it. Oy. If this show comes back -- and this episode made me sincerely hope it does -- I would like to see Mageina Tovah get more to do, and I'd really like to see Glynis dress less like the girls I was in sixth grade with in the mid-seventies. All right, okay, I had a pink T-shirt with a sparkly unicorn ironed onto it. ["Me too. My mother has a few things to answer for in the wardrobing department." -- Sars] Look, I'm pretty sure everybody in the fashion industry was on cocaine. I have no other explanation. Luke rambles on: "See, we don't fundamentally believe in subatomic probability. I mean, I do, but you know, I'm a science stud." Grace: "'Science' and 'stud' do not go together, dude." Well…do I have to link to those pictures of Richard P. Feynman again? How about Brian Greene? Richard Dawkins? Alex Toker? João Magueijo ? A young Jacques Cousteau? How about Berkeley biologist Tyrone Hayes? I'm just saying. Glynis contributes, "Jonas Salk had a very sexy jawline." From where I'm sitting, the man had to no jawline, so I'm not sure what she's on about. Grace: "Why do you know that?" Glynis clearly wonders herself. Joan: "So you're all confident about the physics final?" Grace, whipping out a newspaper: "I don't study for finals. It's against the laws of anarchy." Adam: "How can there be laws of anarchy? I really need to update my portfolio so I can get an internship this summer, otherwise it's back to the hotel for me…a fate worse than death…" As Joan struggles with her juice container, she looks up and sees Rocky standing out in the hall just beyond in the doorway, in a white suit, glowing. There are wonky camera sound effects along with a vertigo shot of Joan and her freaked-outness. In the background, we can hear Grace saying she has to get a job, too, and that he father's threatening to make her work at the temple as a camp counsellor. Joan stands up, staring at Rocky, who turns and walks away. Sound back to normal, Grace asks, "Girardi…what's with the zombie look?" Like she's hypnotized, Joan replies, "I saw Rocky," and starts to walk out. Adam: "Wait, Rocky?" Luke: "Dead Rocky?" Grace: "Every year at this time, she breaks down. It's like her warranty's up."
