Hmm but who needs the timeout? Claire's behaving herself (for the moment) and her partner is... unoffensive?
Timeout "Toilet break!" said Theresa, going for a tone of voice that indicated a degree of urgency. "Who wants to help me with my arthritic support and surgical stockings?" Predictably there was silence around the table, until Maureen under the intense gazes of the other two, meekly said, "I will, Theresa, since we're partners." "That works every time to get a timeout," said Theresa quietly as they shuffled to the ladies, "and we need one to figure out what these two are up to!"

Greg - hah, yes. I can only imagine what a Scrabble tournament that doesn't allow bathroom breaks would look like.
Hopefully they're able to use this time to figure things out, before it's too late!
