Where's the Tragedy?

I can point to no hard sources, but I've got a memory of someone mentioning that one of the kids drinks bleach on KN at some point.  Who?  Why?  CBS better not cut this out.  We've got only one episode left, it's now or never. Here are my predictions, in order of probability:
 
1.  Bleach Possibility 1:  Jared.  He missed out on the gold star last week and is really making a go of it this week by pushing his braininess.  As such, he's drunk on ambition and a bizarre quanta-transporter experiment goes horribly wrong.  Or does it go right?  The child genius meant to drink his quanta-converting concoction but Divad switches the beakers at the last second (she's still pissed about the store casualty).  Jared (along with his quanta) are gone, mysteriously transported to the greedy-money cave where he lives out the rest of his life as a mad scientist.
 
2.  Bleach Possibility 2:  Greg.  Someone dared him to do it and, because he'd accidentally imbibed a gallon of the stuff during his brief career as a pool-man without folly, he assumes it's okay to do again.  And he's fine because nothing can hurt this kid.
 
3.  Bleach Possibility 3:  Kelsey.  She thought it was water.  Everyone cries (bet you didn't see THAT coming) and they rush her to a hospital in a hot air balloon.  Greg regrets not picking the ponies which would have proven speedier transport.

It was DK. See this article:

Daphne, a Chicago mother, said her 14-year-old son, DK, accidentally used bleach when he was mixing a soda drink but felt fine after he tasted it. She said the show was an opportunity for her son to meet kids from other backgrounds.

Interesting. Maybe he thought Jared had invented a bleach-based teleportation device??

Also, Divad's mom sounds ANGRY. Maybe that's why she was totally MIA in the last episode.
