SanitySlippage / EurekaMoment: When Dan greets Sally normally ("Hey, Sally"), she snaps at him, and realizes she's coming unglued. Casey and Dan decide to do this to Dana and Natalie because they think they've been acting too calm given the craziness of what's happened. Subverted, however, in that Dana and Natalie don't snap.
