"At first, I thought it was weird...but as it went on, I understood it was some kind of bit...when they took us downstairs, they asked me, you do understand this is a joke pretty much?

I knew she was going to laugh it off and say everything was fine, but that's a pretty weird way to try and convince everyone that what happened was okay. She doesn't realize that what she said makes the crew look even worse.
If it was a joke then why didn't the crew get Tay's consent and let her know before Frank did it, rather than after? What if when they had asked her if she knew it was a joke she had said "No, I didn't know this was a joke?" What would they have done then?
