Series 1, Episode 5 - A Seven-Nighter

The Lab Rats spend seven nights in a secret governmental research facility this week on a very important assignment. All they have to do now is stay awake without going mad. Can seven oil drums full of coffee, a tin of biscuits and the Dean's morale-boosting visits do the trick, or will the static, the Professor's intriguing underwear and the strange man with the teeth tip them over the edge?
