What is this episode about? The proverbial &ldquo;Elephant in the Room&rdquo; is defined as a &ldquo;question, solution, or controversial issue which is obvious to everyone who knows about the situation, but which is deliberately ignored because to do otherwise would cause great embarrassment, or trigger arguments or is simply taboo. &nbsp;The idiom can imply a value judgement that hte issue ought to be discussed openly, ot it can simply be an acknowledgment that the issue is there and not going to go away by itself&rdquo; &ndash; Wikipedia. &nbsp;Mark and Eric may break a few unspoken rules in this episode and we are not going to reveal the elephant until we are good and ready.&nbsp; Whew! HERE WE GO!
