[edit] Episode Storyline

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

In this episode, Geoffrey Jellineck gets hit by a car driven by Jerri Blank, which tears his face clean off. Eventually his face is recovered when Jerri throws it through Principal Blackman's office window, wrapped around a brick.

Jellineck urges his homosexual partner, Chuck Noblet to come out to everyone about their hidden gay relationship, as the accident has made him re-evaluate his life and the thought of an open relationship is the only thing that is keeping his face attached to his head. As Jerri decides whether or not she should come clean about hitting Jellineck, Noblet struggles with confession the nature of their relationship and having abandoned Geoffrey after the accident.

The only episode without a "clever title" according to Stephen Colbert.
The hospital's name is "St. Mortis," or "St. Death."
Jerri was originally supposed to run over a pumpkin in the re-enactment (the representation of Jellineck's head), but they couldn't find one as pumpkins were not in season. Strangely, though, they could find a watermelon.
