"Perfect"

By skeeter291, May 25, 2011 Report Abuse

My favorite segment of this episode is "The Prescription". I have worked in a pharmacy for over 10 years and i have to say that this episode hit the nail on the head at some of the strange things that can happen. I father and son pharmacy in a small town that is not yet computerized and the son tries to get his dad to use e-mail and the fax machine to help with some of the work load. Will the son takes a prescription over the phone for a regular customer of the pharmacy and when the woman comes in to pick up the script is not ready. The dad looks for the prescription and can't find it. This son says that he'll e-mail the doctors office and have it in a few minutes. Well time passes and no responce the son says that he remembers the script for memory so he'll just get it ready and the have the script when the doctor emails back. The dad says no and calls the doctors office and get the script over the phone and comes to fine out that the son makes mistake in the strength of the meds and that if he had filled it from memory it could have killed the woman. Then after they get the meds filled and the woman leaves the script that the doctor emailed in somehow apperies on the counter. The god of pharmacy was with those to pharmasists that day and it's all true. Things like that happen all the time in your local drug store.moreless

- (After "Summer Camp") Jonathon Frakes: How could Anthony have been asleep in his bunk and outside in the woods at the same time? And if he was in his bunk the whole time, then who saved Marty and Darren from the wolf? Did Marty and Darren, in their terror, only imagine Anthony was there? But, what about the detail of the chocolate chip cookies, could they have imagined that too? Is this a story of a person being in two places at once… or is it just another tale when we tell around the fire at summer camp? (Takes a bite out of one of the cookies) Edit
- (Before "Summer Camp") Jonathon Frakes: For most of us, summer camp invokes sweet thoughts of fresh air, fun in the sun and mischief after dark. But for some children, summer camp recalls more bitter feelings, memories of isolation, homesickness and the taunts of their peers. All Anthony Shaw wanted to do was have a happy, carefree summer away… everyone knew he was different, they were about to find out he was special. Edit
- (After "The Prescription") Jonathon Frakes: Who was watching over Spencewick Pharmacy that day? Was that fated prescription simply misplaced? If so, how did it end up back on the board? Did Everett's grandson find it and put it back himself, to embarrassed to tell his grandfather what really happened? But then, how did it disappear in the first place? Maybe there was some angelic spirit watching over the pharmacy? Does this strange story of a prescription go down easy… or do you find it hard to swallow? Edit
