Everyone's gathering in the cafeteria the next morning, and Carl looks at his father as he walks in. "Are you hungover?" The kid asks him. "Mom said you'd be."

"Mom is right." Rick tells him.

"Mom has that annoying habit." Lori says, and her husband nods once.

"Eggs." T says as he walks over with food on the hot pan. "Powered, but- but I do 'em good."

Glenn groans because he's hung over as well. Jacqui's trying to comfort him, but there's really nothing she can do after all that he drank the night before.

"Bet you can't tell." T continues. "Protein helps the hangover." He says, and Glenn groans again.

"Where'd all this come from?" Rick asks as he holds up a pill bottle.

"Jenner." Lori tells him. "He thought we could use it."

Glenn's still groaning. "Don't ever, ever, ever let me drink again." He says as Jack walks in.

"I think that should go for MJ too." The teenager says, and they all look at him.

"Where is she?" Rick asks as T asks Shane what happened to his neck. He has three scratches that look pretty fresh, but he didn't have them the last time anyone saw him.

"Stumbling around back there." Jack motions behind him. "Jess is with her, but I don't think she ever went to sleep last night."

"Does she need help?"

"No!" Jess calls from the hallway. Jack's getting more candy bars from where he got some yesterday at dinner.

Jenner walks into the room then, and Dale looks at him. "Doc, I don't mean to slam you with questions first thing—"

"But you will anyway." Jenner says.

"We didn't come here for the eggs." Andrea tells him.

"Eggs?" MJ asks. "Where? Can I have some?"

"Oh, jeez." Jess almost drops her, and Rick quickly stands up.

"The hell did you do after we talked last night?" He asks as he helps her to the table.

"I...found a bottle of whiskey." She tells him.

"And?"

"And I drank it."

"All of it?" He questions, and she nods.

"Why don't you guys sober her up some and then we'll talk." Jenner says, and they eat some more.
