(a) she goes to get a dental damn and kills the mood
(b) she forgets the dental dam and gets an infection.

And she's allergic to latex!!

I am pretty sure that by this point the healing is long over and anything that could happen can happen.
Of course, Faye and Marten are doing their level unintentional best to deep-six anything happening to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, but maybe Dora will R-R-RAM IT IN yet! Or maybe Tai will get let down, levels of "easiness" to be determined.
Secretly I hope that R-R-RAM IT IN will happen just for memetic fulfillment, but it is looking like the logical conclusion is the other end of the spectrum.

especially after that one Canadian airliner ran out of fuel mid flight because the ground crew didn't understand the difference between gallons and liters. The military still uses Kliks and meters for the most part, but the military does love their tradition so hoary units of measure like the knot are still used for ship and aircraft speed.

Actually that's what the film of the incident stated. However, if you look at a documentary of the incident (aka the Air Transat glider incident), what actually happened was that there was a fuel leak. From what I remember of the Air Crash Investigation's episode on it:
The leak was in an unusual location (i.e. it was leaking through the engine) so the warnings that came up in the cockpit were unusual so the captain suspected it was a problem with computer software. Even the ground-based technician the he called suspected it was a computer fault. Therefore, the captain didn't take the action necessary to stop the fuel leaking. It was lucky that ATC had diverted him earlier, due to weather conditions, otherwise the plane would not have been in gliding range of the Azores.
It was a twin engine Airbus with Rolls Royce engines.
The investigators found that the initial fault had been that a technician had put a part designed for another Rolls Royce engine in that engine because he didn't have the one for that particular engine to hand.
Whilst the air crew were hailed as heroes for getting the airline down safely, the investigators criticised them for not using their common sense and shutting down the number 2 engine.

You are confusing Air Canada 143 (ground crew and pilot error with respect to converting to metric, confounded by Fuel Monitoring System malfunction) with Air Transat 236 (fuel leak and pilot error).
Boxilar:
@HiFrank; Some kind of blackberry? As a small business owner, I doubt she'd blow money on the newest and most up to date tech. I think she'd stick to an older phone until it finaly broke for good and she had to upgrade.
Is it cold in here?:
Shouldn't a Goth have acquired a RAZR?
jwhouk:
She had that same phone back when Marten's dad visited way back when.
I suspect she probably got it as part of a business deal with a cell phone store in the Pioneer Valley that was selling corporate plans with multiple phones - which led to all the barista girls getting them at CoD, as well as Marty.
