[edit] Summary

Bernard Walton tells David and Mandy Straussberg what they've missed in the week they were gone.

[edit] Plot

In the story, Richard Maxwell returns to town and gets jobs at various places in town, from the Timothy Center to the Electric Palace. At the same time, people begin acting strangely: Eugene and Connie prepare to get married, Edwin becomes engaged to a now very domestic Margaret Faye, and Harlow Doyle actually solves a case. Bernard got everyone together and they tried to hash out why everyone was acting so strangely. The only connection was revealed to be Richard, who then revealed himself to be Regis Blackgaard, and claimed to have always been Blackgaard. Bernard then told how, satisfied to hide under the disguise of Richard, Regis left the country and the doctors got everyone back to normal.

[edit] Discussion Questions

1. What was so strange about Whit's behavior? Eugene's? Tom's? Edwin's? Harlow's?
2. Why did Whit tell the kids "Don't believe everything you hear"?
3. Have you figured out what "I Slap Floor" means?

[edit] Notes

• I Slap Floor was first broadcast on April 1st and was an elaborate April Fool's joke by Bernard. "I Slap Floor" is an anagram of "April Fools."
• This episode references other AIO episodes, such as "A License to Drive" and "Truth, Trivia, and 'Trina." There are also some spoofs, such as "Malachi's Message" with the scene about Tom meeting an angel named Haggai, and the scene with Dr. Blackgaard's appearance, which is a reference to "Blackgaard's Revenge." This episode also contains many in-jokes for fans, like Connie remaining 16 for a while and Eugene and Katrina's "long, drawn-out, seemingly never to end engagement."
• This episode was meant to have Tasha Forbes in it, but the actress wasn't available so they put Richard Maxwell in instead.
