Mikey, Sienna, Jay, Woods, and Lauren O'Brien moved between the devastation in Joplin, Harold Camping's failed rapture prediction, and a breaking report of multiple deaths at a Skyline-area home. Nick's request to move back in after college produced the show's biggest argument: Mikey emphasized adult responsibility and entitlement, while Jay and others favored a firm but supportive 90-day landing place. Sienna then laid out the evidence and unanswered questions in the Casey Anthony case, which led Mikey and Woods into a sharper dispute over legal insanity, institutionalization, and execution. The lighter bits centered on Jay's gourmet camping plans, Woods's immortal cheesecake mishap, J. T. Thomas taking Jocelyn Lavelle to a school dance, and the crew's ridicule of Oprah's extravagant farewell.

What happened, in order

  1. Joplin tornado

    Sienna and the crew described the Joplin tornado's 117 deaths, near-200-mph winds, enormous width, and destruction of roughly 2,000 buildings.

  2. Rapture rescheduled

    After May 21 passed without a rapture, Harold Camping claimed Judgment Day had happened invisibly and moved the world's destruction to October 21.

  3. Jay's gourmet campout

    Jay unveiled an improbably elaborate camping menu of bacon-wrapped shrimp, enchiladas, pineapple pancakes, and upside-down cake while the others mocked his wilderness routine.

  4. Can the graduate come home?

    An email from graduating student Nick sparked a long argument over whether his parents owed him a temporary room or whether expecting one showed entitlement.

  5. Jokes that never die

    Woods relived shattering a wine glass while yelling about cheesecake, and the crew traded stories of single embarrassing mistakes that became permanent nicknames and running jokes.

  6. Skyline deaths break live

    The show aired a breaking report from Monica Dean as police investigated several people found dead at a Park Creek Court home, including a victim reportedly found in the pool.

  7. A rookie's generous date

    Chicago Bears rookie J. T. Thomas took 14-year-old Jocelyn Lavelle, who has spina bifida, to her middle-school dance after other boys had turned her down.

  8. Vinnie Vincent arrested

    Former Kiss guitarist Vinnie Vincent was arrested after his wife Diane accused him of a bloody assault, and deputies found four dead dogs sealed in containers at the home.

  9. Facebook threat suspension

    The hosts backed a five-day suspension for a 13-year-old who posted that she wished Osama bin Laden would kill her math teacher, rejecting her mother's complaint that the punishment was excessive.

  10. The Casey Anthony case

    Sienna reconstructed the month-long delay in reporting Caylee Anthony missing, Casey Anthony's invented babysitter story, the trunk evidence, and the prosecution's problems proving a cause of death.

  11. Oprah's arena farewell

    The crew mocked the worshipful tone of Oprah's United Center farewell, including Tom Cruise's tribute, while conceding that her charity and cultural influence were substantial.
