A straightwoman, or straightman, is basically somebody with a really good poker face and/or innocent act. The person in cahoots with the pranker(s), whom the prankee does not suspect is in cahoots, and therefore the prankee allows the straightperson to hand him or her the means of his or her downfall.
Basically what you need to do is, once we rig whatever it is we're rigging to drive Doc McCoy out of his lab, we give it to you, and you go down to the medlab and be yourself, trustworthy straightforward not-conspiratorial-at-all Paige Guthrie, and you hand it to him, and then you walk casually away just like you would normally until you're out of sight, and then you run like hell while giggling madly. Sound good? :)
