First, let me start with my disclaimers/excuses:
(1) My VCR is very sick, so I now have to update in real time, which means
it's almost impossible to get all the dialogue.
(2) During yesterday's episode, my cable's reception of NBC was terrible;
I could see pretty well, but there was some crackling and static that kept
me from hearing some stuff at all.  So I second the motion to post Mason's
speech and Ted's arithmetic stuff.  I also agree that Connor's Roger Rabbit
routine was priceless; if my VCR had been working and the reception had
been worth a darn, this would have been a keeper.
Anyway, enough of that, on with it:

Mason and Julia sit in a greasy spoon diner.  Mason does a take-off of
Hamlet's "To Be Or Not To Be" speech, deciding whether to eat swill or to
go hungry.  Julia tries to convince him to go back out to the road and try
to find the girl she saw.  He doubts that she really saw anyone.  Julia
finally convinces him and they go look for her; they leave without eating.
Then we see a young pregnant woman wake up in the woods.  She walks out to the
road and is picked up by Mason and Julia.  The woman introduces herself as
Gracie Lively from Alabama.  They go back to the diner.  Gracie, who doesn't
have any money, orders an incredible amound of food.  Mason and Julia are
almost out of cash, and the diner doesn't take credit cards, so they don't
order anything.  Turns out that Gracie is "surprising" her boyfriend with
her pregnancy--they haven't seen each other in a while and didn't part on
the best of terms.  While Gracie is in the little girls' room, Mason expresses
a desire to put her on a bus as soon as they get back to SB, but Julia wants
to help her out.

Kelly is standing over Sophia, who is unconscious on the floor, when Ken
comes in to play the doting husband.  Kelly calls the paramedics.  Kelly
cleans up some packages of sweetener; Ken tells her he'll do it.  Gina
and Lionel show up.  Gina commenta that earlier she found Sophia doubled
over with cramps.  Ken, getting uncomfortable, says he doesn't want to wait
for the paramedics and takes Sophia to the hospital.  The others follow.

As Ted is kissing Lilly, she wonders if he is imagining he is kissing Angela.
He tries to reassure her.  He tells her Angela is out of his thoughts, the
craving is gone.  Lilly wonders if she's just there to help him get over
Angela, after which he won'd need her anymore.  He reassures her some more.
[This is where Ted does his arithmetic speech.]  They resume kissing.

Angela thanks CC for giving her another chance.  They decide to take it slow.
CC tells her they are alone in the house, but Angela notices Ted's key.
After they get the word about Sophia, Angela goes up to Ted's room to tell
him.  It's pretty awkward when she walks in on Ted and Lilly until she tells
them why she's there.  They all head for the hospital.

At the hospital, they await the toxicology report, but it's pretty clear
that Sophia has overdosed on tranquilizers.  Ken tells Kelly he had hidden
Sophia's pills and he'd just discovered they were gone but hadn't had a
chance to confront her yet.  Gina and Lionel now understand Sophia's
recent erratic behavior.  Ken goes in to see Sophia.  Gina starts to
complain that Sophia is purposely doing this now to try to sidetrack Ted
and Lilly's wedding.

Someone keeps calling the SBPD asking for Roger.  Connor tries to convince
them there is no Roger.  When they say they won't hang up until they talk to
Roger, Connor does a pretty convincing Roger Rabbit impression and the caller
finally hangs up. [BTW this was hilarious.]  Then Connor gets word that
the paramedics were called for, but the message was garbled and he's afraid
Kelly is the one who was rushed to the hospital.  When he gets there, he's
relieved she's OK.  She's glad to see him because he's the only one she can
talk to about her suspicions about Ken.

Later, Gina still insists to Lionel that the actress in sophia is trying to
steal the spotlight away from Ted and Lilly.  Gina resolves not to let the
wedding be stopped.

Ken and CC argue; Ken reminds him he's not married to Sophia any more.  After
CC leaves, Connor tries to cozy up to Ken.  He tells him not to let CC get
to him; the Capwells can be handled.  He gives Ken his business card and tells
him to call if he ever wants to talk.  Then Connor tries to convince Kelly
to go home and get some rest, but she doesn't want to leave her mother alone
with Ken.  Meanwhile, in Sophia's room Sophia is ashamed about the turn of
events; Ken continues to be solicitous.  He gives her some tea with a package
of her sweetener.

VCR and NBC willing, I'll try to have more details next week--Ilene
