The parade of cameos continues while Sidney and Hallie are still hanging out in her dorm room.

The TV is airing an episode of Current Edition - a not-so-subtle parody of the TV show Inside Edition - where Cotton Weary (Liev Schreiber) is discussing being exonerated for the murder of Sidney's mother Maureen.
