It didn't make sense, but Morgan and Danny were so excited that Peter was there, they didn't care. Besides, Danny is not tech-savvy enough to understand that wi-fi being down doesn't mean Peter should need to borrow his computer.

I was impressed that Dre was able to identify all the white presidents! He even knew which one was John Adams and which was John Quincy Adams.

She apparently didn't know about the fellowship when Jean told her about it, initially said she wasn't interested because she would rather stay with Danny, and then the next day was in tears because her recommendation didn't
