In Which Cooper Finds a Port in His Storm
Season 1 | Episode 8 | Aired 11/21/07
Cooper is all set to get over Violet by making an Internet "date" with someone who goes by the screen name CanUHandleMe441. As it turns out, CanUHandleMe441 is a gussied up Charlotte King! Cooper's first instinct is to bolt, but instead he sits. So what if she's a little harsh, she is kind of hot, right? But when Charlotte learns Cooper's her date, she’s the one who bails. Anybody else wondering what the 441 stands for in her call sign?

Sam and Naomi get an emergency call from Father Mark, the priest who married them. A nun at his church has a nasty rash on her belly and is exhibiting flu-like symptoms. Naomi takes a picture of the rash on her cell phone and emails it to Dell so he can have an infectious disease specialist identify it. As more nuns in the convent fall ill, Sam quarantines the area into a hot zone. They get their answer to the mystery rash: Typhoid. Father Mark has been unconsciously carrying the disease from his time as a missionary worker.


Sam and Naomi agree that their little transgression the night before was just a "slip-up." But we see how these two look at each other, and how the act toward each other. We’re hoping they’ll find their way back to each other. And judging by how they end up in bed together again, we’re psyched it may be sooner rather than later.
