Its time to update my resume, and I'm not looking forward to it. Do I pretend that the last 3 months didn't happen? Do I put them in and try to explain them at an interview? Do I pretend I'm still working there?

I dunno. (I'm leaning towards #2 as that is the honest thing to do, but I'm unsure its the smart thing to do.)

To echo everyone else, I'd list it, but you don't have to go out of your way to explain it. E.g:

- "So, you were working at $foocorp for the past 3 months?"
- "Yes, I did $bar and $baz for them."

A new employer probably won't care too much about the details, they should hopefully only really care about what you got done. Like someone else said, it might as well have just been a short-term contract. And if it comes up, well, that's what probationary periods are for, you can then explain that you decided to go your separate ways at the end of the probation.
