Obviously, we can't leave him here.

What did you need my help with?

We need you to get rid of a body.

Nobody else knows about the blackmail?

- Randy.
- Randy Walsh?

He's my best friend, Shauna.
I had to turn to somebody.

- You lied to me.
- I made a mistake.

Well, apparently, so did I.

I need your help.

Somebody closed Travis's bank account,

and I need to find out who.

Lottie's dreams and omens
and whatever the f*ck that is.

- What is it?
- I think it will keep you safe.

My wife moved out.

I took a -year marriage,
and set it on fire. For what?

We have dresses, we have booze.

- We can have a Moon Homecoming.
- A Doomcoming.

[MISTY] Has someone seen the mushrooms?

Uh, yeah. They're in the stew.

I think Misty poisoned me again.

I think she poisoned all of us.

- Misty, just stop!
- Aah!

I don't love you. I love Paul!

- Who's Paul?
- He's my boyfriend.

[LOTTIE] Something's coming.

We won't be hungry much longer.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[LOTTIE] You took something
that doesn't belong to you.

What? Hey!

No. Gloria? When?

- And she was so young.
- She was .

I can't believe I didn't
get to say goodbye to her.

Do you know if they'll
be having a service?

[CHUCKLES] I was like a daughter to her.

Oh, that's okay, I'll just
ask Kenny at the morgue.

He's always got the - - .

Anyways, I got to go.

Just came by to grab my Tupperware.

[LAUGHS]

You ladies have fun.

- Ah.
- Here.

What, are you planning on
taking home leftovers? Hmm.

[CHUCKLES] I needed a cover story.

I got gloves, waste disposal
bags, oxygenated bleach.

Why didn't we just go to the store?

[CHUCKLING] Because %
of all K*llers are caught

buying cleaning supplies.

Also, regular bleach
leaves behind hemoglobin

for the luminol tests.

This stuff is the good stuff.

Well, good to know, Misty.

Listen, before we go, I just want

to go over the terms of our deal.

Oh. What do you want,
a blood oath from me?

I said I would go, so I'm going.

[CHUCKLES]

[ENGINE STARTS]

[SOFT, EERIE MUSIC]

Christ, I've been looking
everywhere for you.

Are you all right? I...

Why wouldn't I be?

Well, last night, I...

I'm fine. No, a... actually,
I'm better than fine.

I finally got laid, so
I'm f*cking great. Hmm?

Look, I don't care about what happened

with you and Jackie right now.

I just need to know that you're okay.

Travis, they had a f*cking
Kn*fe to your throat.

They were going to...

I don't know, but I know that...

I said I was fine, didn't I?

I'm gonna go look for Javi.

He's not here?

Well, do you want any help?

Nope.

[SOFT, EERIE MUSIC]

[KNOCKING]

[SCOFFS, CHUCKLES]

Well, aren't we a
bunch of Gloomy Gusses.

Who d*ed? [CHUCKLES]

No, but seriously. Who is this guy?

[SHAUNA] Misty?

Really? This is your big brainstorm?

Do you have a better idea?

I think what you mean
to say is, "Hi, Misty.

It's so great to see
you after all this time.

Thanks for swinging by and
helping us cover up a m*rder."

Why does everyone keep using that word?

It's not like I woke up
this morning and thought,

"Hmm. What am I gonna do today?

I know. I'll find out my boyfriend

is a creepy stalker
and s*ab him to death."

I'm going to prison.

I'm going to prison
for the rest of my life.

No, you're not. None of us are,

as long you listen to me
and do exactly what I say.

Okay? So, if you haven't already

turned off your phones,
I suggest you do that now.

Where's his?

I... I took it home,
and I put it in my safe.

Okay. As soon as we're done
here, you're gonna go home,

you're going to wipe it
and destroy the SIM card.

All right? And then do
the same thing to yours.

I didn't see any security cameras.

Did anybody... neighbors...
see you come in here?

I... I don't think so.

Okay, great. Then we're
just destroying evidence.

[CHUCKLES] Shauna, you're the
best with a Kn*fe, clearly.

[LAUGHS] So you'll handle the body.

I mean, cut it up.

Oh, God. Are you okay to do that?

- Yeah.
- I'll help you.

[SLOW, TENSE MUSIC]

So, then, it's just me and
Tai on, uh, clean-up duty.

Oof, boy, he sure was a
gusher, huh? [CHUCKLES]

Well, what are we waiting for, ladies?

Let's suit up and get to work.

Thanks.

Do you still remember how to do that?

It's just like riding a
really gross, f*cked-up bike.

[SIGHS]

[WHIRRING]

So, after your boyfriend k*lled Travis,

you didn't notice that
he was acting weird?

Natalie, stop it.

I was with him the day Travis d*ed.

Okay?

[WHIRRING]

Well, he was working with somebody else.

That's so obvious.

I need to get my hands
on his cell phone.

- I need to see his texts.
- Or maybe, it's just a coincidence.

- [SCOFFS]
- And Travis did actually just k*ll himself.

All this time, you've been
looking for some big conspiracy.

What if the truth is just that

we're all f*cked in the head
from what happened to us,

and you're searching for
answers that don't exist?

No. That didn't occur to me.

[WHIRRING]

[TENSE MUSIC]

Nat.

I know what it's like...

the numbness, the... the paranoia.

Sometimes I look at the world around me,

and it's like all the light
has just gone out of it.

Maybe Travis just couldn't
stand to live like that anymore.

[SIGHS]

Maybe you need to start
trying to forgive him.

[WHIRRING]

[CRUNCHING]

Ooh. I just got the
craziest case of déjà vu.

And here I thought the worst thing

that was gonna happen to me this
week was losing this election.

Well, I voted for you.

And I only registered
so I could get jury duty.

- [CHUCKLES]
- When do they call the results?

Tomorrow.

Oh, God. Is that the... ?

The rest is, um, draining in the tub.

Okay, perfect. So, when that's done,

put it in a suitcase and bury
it out at Hacklebarney Park.

I've got a shovel in my
trunk, which you can borrow.

I do want it back.
And I took the liberty

of packing up some of
his clothes, some books

and toiletries and stuff.
And I'll take this with me

and get rid of it. That way,
if anyone comes looking for him,

it just looks like he went on a trip.

And after that? I mean, what
if an animal digs him up?

What if a hiker's dog sniffs him out?

Well, it won't matter.

I mean, torsos are
useless. Duh. [CHUCKLES]

That's the whole point.
You only have to worry

about the head and the hands.

So, what's the plan with those?

Don't worry about it. I'll handle that.

- [BIRD CAWING]
- [METAL CLINKING]

Hey. I, uh, I boiled
some drinking water,

if you guys are as hungover as I am.

Has anyone seen Jackie?

[SLOW, EERIE MUSIC]

I have nothing to say to you.

To any of you. I mean, what the f*ck?

Yeah, like you're so innocent.

Hey, I'm not the one who went
completely f*cking insane last night.

Right. No, you were too
busy screwing Travis.

Whoa, hey. Look, I'm sure that
we all said and did some stuff

that we regret last night
on account of the shrooms.

- So, I think that the best thing for us to do is just...
- Wait, wait. Shrooms?

[VAN] Okay, yeah.

That makes sense.

Oh, sh*t. The broth.

You drugged us?

No, I didn't.

Okay, yeah, it was an accident.

- They were meant for Ben.
- [MARI] Oh, my God.

Do you have any idea how crazy you are?

They were my mushrooms.

And you stole them to put
them in your stupid soup.

Besides, you know, none of
this would have even happened

if he wouldn't have tricked me
into falling in love with him.

- Oh, Misty, would you...
- Wait. Stop!

[RUSTLING IN BRUSH]

- Do you hear that?
- [LOUDER RUSTLING]

No.

money we're talking about here,

even my little slice of it...

I have done a lot of things
that I cannot forget or undo,

but at least I'd be able
to stop adding to the list.

So if you think this little
stay here at the Caligula Inn

is enough to make me
rethink our partnership,

you haven't gotten to know me at all.

[SWALLOWS]

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

- [PHONE RINGING]
- [INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Hey. I'm glad you called.

[SIMONE] Sorry I
wasn't there last night.

I just didn't think that, um...

you know.

How are you?

Well, I'm working on my
concession speech, so...

I'm sorry, Tai.

Are you?

Look, I'm calling to
let you know that, uh,

I'll be swinging by
later tonight to pick up

some things, some
clothes, toys for Sammy.

Yeah, of course. Uh, I won't be there.

I have to be with my staff for
when they announce the results.

You don't want me to be there.

I just think it might
be easier for Sammy.

Right. Is he there? Can I talk to him?

He's actually on a playdate with, uh,

a kid named Elvis,

if you can believe
that. Look, I'll call you

tomorrow. You can
talk to him then, okay?

Okay.

I love you, Simone.

I'll call you tomorrow.

[PHONE BEEPS]

I parked your car out front.

I even filled up your gas t*nk

- and topped up your wiper fluid.
- Misty.

[CHUCKLES]

What?

- Misty!
- Okay, fine.

I threw them out, but
it's a disgusting habit.

And do you have any idea how
bad those things are for you?

Yeah. It's why I do it.

Come on, you know I'm
just gonna buy more.

[EXHALES] Save me a stop.

[SIGHS]

So, what's our next move? Dr. Phil?

Oprah?

Should I get a, um, uh, a publicist?

Eventually, yes. Uh, first,

I'm just gonna call a few contacts
I have at the big lit agencies.

But you let me worry about all
that, you know, earn my keep.

You just, for now, start thinking about

who you want to play you in the movie.

- Meryl Streep.
- [CHUCKLES]

No, no, no. No. Scarlett Johansson.

Okay.

Or who's the one in that thing,

about, um, those rich
ladies that k*ll that guy?
