Taylor comes into Matt's office, surprised that he's still there, and he admits he hasn't been able to find anything that "trumps the waiver," which Taylor clarifies would be anything that proves Donna intended to stay with Jess. Matt: "I've learned more about lesbian love than I ever cared to know, and believe me when I tell you, that's a high bar." Taylor laughs in spite of herself and asks if he wants to grab a drink, and after some obligatory piggish comments, he produces a bottle of something, and Taylor sits down. They commiserate about wanting people you can't have, but when Matt expresses his disbelief that Eli let her go, she reflexively and defensively says he hasn't, and adds that they're still working things out. Matt: "The only thing worse than losing the love of your life is having her find the love of hers." He mentions the roles he plays for Jess now, such as therapist and relationship coach, but it's the one of "cameraman" that gets Taylor's attention -- Matt recorded the My Two Mommies Baby Shower, and Taylor wants that tape. Matt's face: "Tell me you're not switching teams on me too!"
So now the incredible mystery of how Eli and Maggie came to be in Hawaii is solved! It's tough holding your breath for forty-five minutes! As they walk on the beach, Maggie is babbling something about how they're going to find Lime, who apparently owns a surf shack. Eli: "The town's about a block long, Veronica Mars." Now, obviously Julie Gonzalo was on VM, so the fact that that was my show is incidental, but if AB Chao wasn't giggling when that line got penned, I've missed my guess entirely. Anyway, Eli grins when he sees the name of the nearing shack: "Gospel Of Surf." Oh, show.
The citrus fruit in question is wondering why they're there, given that their firm engineered his disappearance. He mentions The Insider as a "pretty accurate depiction of what happens to whistleblowers in this country," and adds that he never should have submitted one particular report. On further questioning, he tells them that the purpose of the report was a "rollover propensity evaluation." He found that Zyer was only testing the rollover frequency on vehicles with fully pressured tires, but obviously, tires are not always going to be optimally filled. His report, however, was buried, and it was only a few months later that Posner came to him with a check for two million bucks "and a few suggestions about how I might want to spend it." Here's another: recapper bonus? Lime says he won't testify, as he likes his new life. I don't actually know the answer to this, but it seems worth asking -- now that he's been found, couldn't he be subpoenaed? Eli, however, says Lime testifying won't be necessary...
