Tom shows Patty pictures of a his new bouncing baby boy. She is thrilled for him and gives him a big hug. He sits down and breaks the news that he can't bribe the judge for her. He hopes she understands. Patty doesn't understand. Tom has been a father for ten years, so what has changed? Tom says it's just different, and he can't do it, and he doesn't think she should do it, either. Patty stands up and paces the room. When Tom pushes her to get it, she flips out and screams, "I understand!" while making an extremely unflattering face. She understands, she just doesn't like it. She and Tom stare at each other, and Patty tells him to leave. He's fired. I don't think this one is fake, Tom. Tom grabs the photo of his son off of Patty's desk and walks out. Hello, wrongful termination suit! Come on, boy! Getting fired for refusing to commit a crime is wrongful termination! Sue already! Sheesh. Did you go to correspondence school? Was your Supreme Court clerkship at a T-shirt shop called "Supreme Court"? Lawyer up already! Do it for your son.
A cell phone vibrates and Mr. Cheeseburger picks up. It's Wes telling him that he hasn't killed Ellen yet. He needs more time. We goes to his little crazy man gun cabinet and shows up in Ellen's lobby. He asks if he can stay with her for a few days. She happily agrees.
