LaGuerta's in bed watching TV, where some more news folk are talking more about the BHB. A hand reaches up from behind her holding a remote, and shuts off the tube. "This is the last time," says LaGuerta. Wait a fucking second, here. Who the...what...who the fuck is in bed with her? Oh, no! No! "Bertrand?" "Babe," says Pascal's fiancé, sitting up. Oh, for fuck's sake. Now I have to care about this? Ugh. He tries to convince her that she doesn't mean it, but she says that she does. "I can't see you anymore." He tells her that "she's gone, it's over with. Now we can finally be out in the open!" He starts kissing her, but she pushes him off, telling him to stop: "Go back to Esme." "So, what, this is how it is? You get your job back, and now you're through with me?" God, I fucking hope so. I'm so very tired of this storyline. "Don't play the victim," she says. "You knew what this was from the beginning." "You are one cold-hearted bitch, I'll tell you that," he says, clearly pretty pissed. "No, you don't get to tell me anything! I'm not the piece of shit fucking another woman behind his fiancé's back. Don't try and judge me, asshole." Bertrand puts his clothes on quickly and quietly. LaGuerta sits back on the side of the bed, and says through tears, "You don't know the first thing about me." I do wonder when all this began, though.
Dex is mowing through breakfast as Rita stands at the counter in the kitchen looking on. "So, I think I misjudged Lilah," says Dexter after he finishes masticating. Rita, looking disappointed, asks, "Are you sure?" "Well, she's unconventional, but I think she's the best sponsor...for me." "Well, if she can help keep you clean..." she says, trying to hide her jealousy. Cody runs in wearing a paper hat, yelling, "chop chop chop chop chop chop..." "Who's this?" asks Dexter. "Is it Robin Hood?" "No, I'm the Butcher Man!" yells Cody, a little to precociously for my tastes. Mama comes in and says, "I made [the costume] for him. I thought it might help with the nightmares." "Bet you didn't know you could fly!" Dex tells him, and picks him up for a game of Aeroplane. As they play, Dex VOs, "Have I misjudged Lilah? I have no idea. I do know she's helping me look at myself in a different way." Mama walks over to Rita, and says, "He's good, that one." "I know," says Rita, smiling. "I got lucky." "Quite an actor. He's hiding something, I'm sure of it." Rita gives her a Nothing's Ever Good Enough For You, Is It? face, which slowly turns into concern, because mothers just know these things? I don't know.
