One Of These Things Is Not Like The Other

Landry's dad walks into his son's room where Landry is in bed, depressed that he is not being allowed to dramatically throw himself under the train, Anna Karenina-style (spoiler!). Landry says he knows his dad doesn't think Landry can handle the consequences of his own confession. Mr. Clarke interrupts him and says that no, it's he that can't handle the consequences. Dude, where is Mrs. Clarke in all this? It's really odd that she isn't written into this storyline at all. Mr. Clarke tells his son that it would break his heart if Landry goes to prison. Landry tells his dad that he's not going to lie, but his dad demands to know what the lie would be. He reminds his son that he didn't know the guy was there until he heard Tyra screaming, and that when he came out, the guy was attacking Tyra. Landry counters, "What about the fact that he was walking away?" They go back and forth a little more, with Mr. Clarke ending the conversation by reminding Landry that this guy raped five other young women. "This was self-defense." Landry leans back onto his pillow and looks confused.

Coach comes into the locker room early morning and finds Tim already there. Tim claims he wanted to get an early start on the laundry and Coach asks if his sudden work ethic has anything to do with his living situation. Tim says no, Coach does that thing where he looks meaningfully, clearly comprehending the entire situation in one glance but refraining from saying anything more because his boys have to learn to sink or swim on their own. Oh, Coach!

Matt and Smash are at work when Carlotta comes in. Smash rushes over and immediately starts trying to work her. But she asks for Matt, who then apparently speaks some sort of code to Smash, telling his friend to go "make me a rocket launcher with jimmies, please?" Smash smiles and claps his hands and hightails it away from the counter. Tapioca pudding? Snackwells? Rocket launchers with jimmies? That last treat sounds a little more appropriate for Nate and Chuck on Gossip Girl than Matt and Smash, but I guess teens are always up for whatever. Carlotta tells Matt that Grandma was in a "burger mood," but he tells her he doesn't believe her, she wanted to come see him. Smash returns with the sundae and hands it to Carlotta who declares that she won't be able to eat it. Won't be able to put that whole rocket launcher in her mouth. Then Matt says he'll go "work on Grandma's burger," and...hold on a minute. What in tarnation are these Hollywood perverts trying to pull over on us?
