Scene: Hospital loading dock. A guy in scrubs waits with a body on a gurney. A driver from the ME's office pulls up.

Driver: "I got a text that I was supposed to pick up a body here?"

Guy: "Yeah, here you go."

Driver: "What's the story on this one?"

Guy (shrugs): "I don't know, I don't make the decisions around here. They just told me to cart him down here and wait for you. Somebody must have noticed something that requires the ME to sign off on it."

Driver: "OK. Sign the form and we'll be on our way."

(Loads the body into the vehicle.)

(Cut to morgue.)

Driver (to Megan): "Here's your delivery."

Megan: "We weren't expecting anything."

Driver: "I got a text from Dr. Murphy to go pick him up from the hospital. Middle-aged white male, no ID."

Megan (calling out): "Dr. Murphy! Kate, were we expecting a delivery?"

(Kate enters the morgue.)

Kate: "I wasn't expecting anything."

Megan (eyes on Kate): "The driver said you texted him for a pick-up."

Kate: "I haven't texted anybody."

(Suddenly the "corpse" sits up, and noisily plants a big kiss on Megan's cheek. She screams and steps back.)

Barry: "Miss me?"

Megan: "If I had missed you, rest assured that I would re-load and fire again. What the hell are you doing here? And why were you picked up at the hospital?"

Barry: "They have free visitor parking."

Megan: "How did you get a pick-up?"

Barry: "I offered a homeless guy free scrubs to stand by the gurney for a few minutes."

Kate: "Wait – the driver said I texted him."

Barry: "See, Megan, everybody is in on it."

Kate: "I am definitely not in on any prank of yours, Mr. Gray. I believe you cloned my phone. Hand over the sim card."

Barry: "You law enforcement types are way too uptight."

Kate: "I'm waiting."

Barry: "Aww..."

(hands over a sim card.)

Kate: "And the back-up."

Barry: "Geez, you take a little vacation for a few weeks and Kate starts running the place like it was a regular office or something."

(hands over another sim card.)

Kate: "So what are you doing here?"

Barry: "What better place to be resurrected than the morgue known for its zombies? I am here to sign up for your army of the undead. Thought you might be a little short-handed. And I was kind of hoping that with all the other distractions, you might not have gotten around to taking me off the contract employee list."

Megan: "We are not recruiting zombies. Too bad you weren't around during our plague. We could have used you as a guinea pig."

Barry: "I think God normally only sends one plague at a time. It's a sequence: plague, demand repentance, another plague, and so on. So, naturally I had to be out of town when you got hit with the other one."

Kate: "We are a little light on staffing. But why come back here? Your cover is kind of blown."

Barry: "I rented out my house in Virginia long-term, so I can't go back there until the tenants leave. I can't watch over anybody any more, because I would be too easy to track. I'd just end up leading the bad guys to the folks I was trying to protect. So I thought I might see if my ME buddies needed a hand."

Megan: "You don't have any buddies in this office. You're too annoying."

Barry: "I thought I could at least stop in and say hello. Plus I wanted to thank you personally, Dr. Hunt."

Megan: "Thank me? Thank me for what?"

Barry: "The way I hear it, you saved my girlfriend's life. Thank you for that."

Kate: "Your girlf...? I am NOT... (recovers) Mr. Gray, if I considered myself your girlfriend, I would be extremely upset with you for not greeting me first, and for kissing another woman in front of me."

Barry: "Uh-oh. Women are so touchy."

Kate (starts to leave): "This is me, stalking off in anger. See my frowny face? You had better start checking the local restaurants. It is going to be several expensive dinners and a lot of fine wine before I am even talking to you again."

Barry: "Not going according to plan."

Kate (turns back): "And Dr. Hunt? I believe we were criticized earlier for losing a dead person? I am pretty sure the critic proposed that the first rule of the morgue should be that dead people stay dead."

Megan: "I think I remember that..."

Kate: "So are you going to enforce that rule or not?"

Megan (evil grin): "With pleasure, boss."

(Megan picks up a couple of dangerous-looking instruments.)

Barry (hurriedly hops off the table, hurriedly removing the sheet or body bag and avoiding Megan): "OK, really not going according to plan now. Megan, get away from me."

Megan (very pleased): "It was your rule. It's your own fault. The best part is, you were listed as dead when you came in here, so I have the perfect alibi..."

Barry (dodging her around the table, tries to make it out the door): "Curtis? Ethan? Anybody? Help!"
