When Elizabeth asks how it is an interview Rodney threw a tantrum over being compelled (coerced, Rodney corrects, I was forced) ended up taking the entire weekend, and why Radek was the one to tell her Rodney was staying for "a follow-up" and couldn't say it without cackling madly, Rodney ignores her. Either that or he doesn't hear her because he's too busy listening to the voice of reality (which is depressing, but much more insistent) saying that John's a whole day ahead of him, moving on, and clearly this whole thing is an aberration.
