The then-Prime Minister Paul Martin starting off with a political announcement making it appear that his speech was to pre-empt the entire episode. Then Brent Butt interrupted the Prime Minister and it turned out to be a Halloween prank.

Quotes:

Davis Quinton:[Davis tries to wangle some handicapped license plates] I think I have a problem with my hip flexor. It would really help me if I could park close to stuff.
Doc Russell:In my 25 years as a doctor, that's the biggest crock I've ever heard.
