NOTE TO phyl7375: Just so you know, I started hysterically laughing in a quiet public place when I read your post. I wish I had the setting in the story to see what would happen too! But you know, he doesn't need to fly, he can take a boat. Maybe a cruise… maybe he takes the team… maybe I have another story brewing in my head…
Unfortunately, though those are very often in the episodes, I was looking for "That's who I am", a unconscious reference to Who I Am by Jessica Andrews, the theme song. I've never actually tested those words you gave on every episode, but I'm sure you'd find they would definitely be in the upper 40's! (out of 53 episodes)
TRIVIA: I'm really excited to share the next chapter. So, I thought I'd see if anyone could guess what's going on at the party! I've given clues, let's see if anyone's thinking like me, and fun…

7AM sharp, Sunny nosed Sue, saying it was time to get up.
"I know, I know," she mumbled. Before going to bed, she had packed everything up, so she was ready to go, except to just brush her teeth and change her clothes. Within a half hour, she was downstairs, ready to go.
Soon, Jack came by her. "YOU NOT TIRED HOW?"
Sue smiled. "I am, I just don't show it, like you do."
The both of them laughed.
"I do, don't I? I guess everything that happened yesterday caught up with me this morning."
Sue nodded. "ME TOO."
A few minutes later, everyone started coming down, ready to go.
"Are we going to eat breakfast now?" Howie asked.
"No." Myles replied. "We'll eat on the way. We need to pick up Cathi, so we're on a tight schedule."
Everyone grumbled as they walked out of the lobby. Everyone was hungry, but because of Myles, they couldn't eat.
"Hold up!" Lucy said, jogging over to everyone. "I thought everyone would want something to munch on for the trip home." She said, smiling widely as she handed everyone snack bars. Everyone gratefully thanked her before they left.
"Thank you." Sue said, hugging her friend.
"Now, we need to get together soon, OK?" Lucy replied.
Sue nodded, then ran up to catch up with her team.

Cathi was rushing to get her things together. When Myles called her on Sunday afternoon, she hastily said yes, without thinking of all the packing she would have to do in a day.
"Let's see, toothbrush, change of clothes, oh dear." She heard a car horn, so she went to look out the window. Myles stood out of one of the cars, waiting for her.
"It'll have to do." She said to herself as she went to zip up her suitcase, and put on her coat, walking out the door.
"Hi!" she said to Myles.
"Hi." He replied. They stood there for a few seconds. "You can ride with me and Bobby. That way you won't be squished with Sunny, and be annoyed by Howie."
Cathi shrugged as she got in the backseat of the car. "I've met Howie. I like him."
"You've met Howie and you like him?" Bobby repeated in disbelief, hearing her as she sat down in the car, squished in with the suitcases. She nodded back.
"OK," Bobby replied, mostly to himself.

The rest of the ride down to D.C. was smooth, and once there, everyone was dropped off to their respective homes to get ready for the party.
Sue came home to an empty house. She found a note from her Mom that she was out, and would be back later. It didn't say where she was.
"I wonder where she went." Sue mused as she started getting ready. There wasn't much more thought put in that. She needed to think about tonight.

You ready to go?" Sarah asked as Drew got in her car.
"Yep. It'll be exciting meeting your coworkers." Drew replied.
Sarah smiled widely. "Especially tonight."
Drew smiled back. "Especially."
"I think it'll really bring out their personalities, or maybe the opposite of them." Sarah mused.
"Either way, it'll be fun!" Drew replied.
Sarah smiled and nodded in reply.
