Episode 81

Dr. Scarlett and Nurse find themselves the sole survivors of a plane crash while returning to Solomon's River.  Dr. Turquoise's luggage has survived, though Nurse's clothing has not.  Looking about the rubble of what had once been a building, they notice a well-polished counter top remains standing.  They go to the hospital to reconnoiter.

Tony the Bookie is harassing Joey on the phone about rigging hospital death bets and makes Joey promise to stop whacking patients.  Tony counts his money.

Magnus Aversson's poetry may no longer work to woo the formerly flattered Eustace:
Dear Eustace,
The folds of your vagina
Remind me of South Carolina: disgusting.
The end.

Dear Eustace,
Your name sound likes justice
There is a knock at the door...

Magnus' poetic musings are interrupted by a knock at the door.  The Roto-Rooter Man has arrived and has an extended and convoluted conversation with Magnus.  The Roto-Rooter Man insists that he was called from this address.  Menawhile, in Magnus Aversson's bathroom, there is a panicked woman on the toilet.  The toilet has a timer, a pressure-release seat, and an endorsement from Danny Glover.  She confirms her call for a plumber with Roto-Rooter and waits...

Magnus drives the Roto-Rooter man away, and tends to the toilet himself, finding the woman and the toilet bomb.  The woman reveals she has been breaking into Magnus' for years without notice, just to use his fancy toilet.  There are 10 minutes left on the timer...
  • How will hospital staff react to the return of Dr. Scarlett and Nurse?  Will patients fare any better?
  • What's up with Tony and Joey?  Who owes who money and why?
  • Will Eustace still be impressed by Magnus' anonymous poetry?
  • How does somebody break into a house and use a toilet every day for years without notice?
  • Will the woman on the toilet be blown to pantsless bits by a bomb clearly intended for Magnus?  Will Magnus be blown up with her?
Find out the answers to these questions and more as we make it all up in, Solomon's River!
