Leavin' on a Jet Plane…

Deb and her translator have apparently struck out at their first five locations, and Cira babbles something about putting positive energy out into the universe, a sentiment for which Deb only has a withering glare, which I respect. Turns out they're both kind of right, though, as when they get to the porch, they realize they're onto something, but the fact that a foul stench slaps them in the face and they see flies buzzing around through the window suggests that whatever it is will be completely gross. And indeed, once they kick the door down and fight their way through the worsened stink to one of the bedrooms, they discover two desiccated corpses, and I think their tongues and eyes were removed by the Fuentes brothers but the maggots currently crawling on their faces might also be to blame. NASTY. Deb valiantly resists the urge to vomit, which is more than I can say for Cira, and honey, is that really the kind of positive stuff you were talking about putting out there? Deb calls it in as Cira tries to regain her composure...

...and then Batista's pulling up to the BEACH INN MOTEL I HATE THAT REDUNDANT NAME SO MUCH, and after he looks through a couple curtains he sees his wife apparently getting dressed after screwing McCourt, like, I didn't hear anything about her being the best lay in Miami. Regardless of these technicalities, Batista busts in and is ready to take McCourt's head off, but LaGuerta yells at him that she's participating in a sting. Which is fine, but why did she act like she'd turned into the Town Pump ever since McCourt showed up? I'm surprised the director didn't have her walking funny too.

Anyway, when McCourt has given them some privacy, LaGuerta upbraids Batista for his intrusion and tells him she was helping IA so they'd close the books on his bar fight, which again, fine on the merits but I don't see why she couldn't have told him, or at least told him that there was something going on and she'd tell him what it was later, but this whole subplot has been handled in such an obviously cheap and sensationalistic manner that I'm victimizing us all by even discussing it further. Anyway, we're spared any further inane arguing by the two of them being called to the scene of the Maggot Murders, and when LaGuerta snits that she'll ride with the patrolmen and opens the door to the adjoining room we see that the target of the sting in question, who's clearly been listening to the two of them fight, is actually Peter Weller, better known as RoboCop. How the mighty have fallen, and I'm not just talking about his looks. Batista and RoboCop exchange a look before the former leaves in disgust and McCourt walks the latter out...
