Comment (by segrax):

 This is caused by a scripting oversight which will occur if you enter the
 lab entry in less than 45 minutes since the first cutscene with Dr. Fred
 and Sandy has run.
 Its simply because one of the cutscenes is time based, and puts Purple
 tentacle in the room, and leaves him on completion

 These script numbers are for V0, however the V1/V2 scripts are usually (x
 + 5)

 script-143 (Cutscene: Dr. Fred / Sandy #1) is triggered by USE on
 roomobj-1-28 (Outside - Front Door). At completion of the cutscene, it
 executes script-151.

 script-151 (Cutscene: Purple Tentacle chases Sandy Trigger) delays for 45
 minutes, before executing script-150.
 script-150 (Cutscene: Purple Tentacle chases Sandy) puts Purple Tentacle,
 Sandy and Dr. Fred into the Lab Entry, and only removes Sandy at
 completion

 script-94  (Cutscene: Weird Ed: Storm Dr. Freds Lab) puts Weird Ed in the
 Lab Entry and assumes purple is already present. At completion of this
 script, both Weird Ed and Purple are sent to Room0.
