At the office, Don is listening live to Wendy's current phone call. But Wendy isn't talking about anything more incriminating than her sick cat. A deep focus shot shows Don in close-up, with Wendy visible through his office window in the background. She's talking about kitty's refusal to attend to his bodily functions, and the story is clearly getting to Don. "Oh, God," he mutters in distress. The idiot didn't even mute his phone, because Wendy totally heard him. He hangs up, too late.
At the UEB offices, Joey has brought in a prosecutor to inform Roman that the state is getting involved in Wanda's case, taking over from the Juniper Creek municipal cops. Roman stands and says he'll take it under advisement. He invites the state guy to have a look around the "community," as he calls it, and asks if he is "devout." "I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints," the prosecutor answers stiffly. Roman says he loves to talk about faith. "As you know, we believe in the original word handed down by the prophet Joseph Smith. Religion can't just change on a whim whenever we want it to. I ask myself, what kind of religion is that?" He chuckles softly, going for "friendly" and landing just short of "Palpatine." Nobody joins in. Joey and his guest leave without another word, leaving Roman to glower nervously at the door they just exited through. Rhonda's there in the outer office, playing cat's cradle with someone who I assume is another one of Roman's wives. Tangled web and all that crap.
