Go To

The roles are reversed.

Quinn is forced to work with Stormy to defuse a bomb because no one else wants to work with Stormy. Stormy accidentally sets off the bomb. The explosion leaves Quinn in a coma, only able to say the word 'booby', while Stormy claims to feel smarter. Murphy promptly concludes that the explosion caused their brains to switch and promotes Stormy to chief science officer.

Murphy recruits Stormy to try to install a MMORPG on the console, but Stormy manages to tear apart the entire console, and they decide to make smoothies instead. They can't even get making smoothies right though, and end up stuck inside the console. Stormy tries to send a monkey for help, but he had earlier stuck fuses in the monkey's brain, meaning all the monkey cares about is porn.

Marco can't stand to see Quinn in this state, and tries to smother him, but is caught by a nurse.

Meanwhile, Debbie decides to coma marry Quinn after hearing the head trauma has left him with priapism. A wedding is hastily arranged, with a lawyer reading a pre-nup to the comatose Quinn and Debbie being fitted into Marco's father's wedding dress. She also takes the time to throw out everything of Quinn's and redesign his room to her tastes, planning to use the money from Quinn's patents to pay for everything...once she files his patents.

In Quinn's bathroom, Debbie Love and Sparks are taking a romantic bath together, while Debbie Love finds it suspicious that the white man that caused the black Quinn's coma now has his job. Sparks finds it hot when Debbie Love gets militant.

Quinn wakes up from his coma and is pissed that he's wearing a wedding ring. As the wedding goes on over the pastor's objections to the groom being missing, Quinn confronts Stormy and Murphy, only to find out Stormy's science officer. He threatens to beat Stormy up but the monkey tasers him.

Quinn is reduced to rolling silverware for the mess hall, literally shackled there by Stormy, driven insane.

The camera zooms out to reveal it was all an experiment by Murphy and Virjay to see if Quinn and Stormy could be induced to swap roles, leaving Virjay the only competent doctor left on Sealab. When he tries to hint that Murphy is himself an experiment (a mental patient placed in charge) he's shocked...

...by the two sharks that were running that experiment...

...that were drawn by Ed and Christian the animators. Christian claims sharks in labcoats have been done before. Ed claims it works, while Christian claims he's biased cause he wrote it...

...on the show that the monkey is watching right now.

The Stinger: Murphy tries to play his MMORPG, but is quickly defeated by a character played by the monkey. Ed again claims the gag works, but Christian claims it's old.
