Episode summary
A college aid borrows a dead female body from the lab and plants it in his roommate's dorm to try and scare him sober, but the joke becomes disastrous.

Fun and viewer review
Surely a mistake in plotting. Viewer should NOT know the body was cadaver, which would have greatly increased both suspense & surprise (cop stopping car, etc.). As it is most of show is padding, since we KNOW the body is a cadaver. Surprise would be increased too when woman returns in bar. For a few seconds we'd be confused wondering if this were the TwiZone, etc. Not much need have been changed either; just the part about planting the cadaver. Someone really goofed here.
