Lester can't believe that Harmony ratted him out, and wasn't coming back. Karen says that Harmony wasn't right for him. Lester says he looked up "ignoble," and that it doesn't mean what Karen said, but that it's a good word. Karen tells Lester that she remembers him from English class. She says he had a muscle car and used to listen to the Ramones. Lester is psyched that she remembers, but clearly Karen is just repeating back the information he's already fed her, in an effort to make him feel better. She puts him in the back of the cop car and says that he gets one phone call per week from prison, and if he wants to call her, she'll be around. Lester says he might take her up on that. Then she thumps the top of the cop car to let them know it's okay to take off. That is such a cop move that I have always wanted to do. I want to be a cop just to do the top thump, and also that move where they protect the criminal's head while shoving him in the back seat. And then I would retire. Marshall tells Karen that was nice of her, and Karen admits that she still doesn't know who he is.
Karen, in her apartment, goes through some boxes of things and finds her high-school yearbook. Roseanne Cash sings "Will You Remember Me?" Karen drinks a bourbon while leafing through the yearbook. She finds her own picture and smiles. She finds Robert Capperelli, and he does in fact have a black eye, as Lester remembered. She searches for Lester's picture, but it says "Photo Not Available," maybe because he flunked out. She comes across a page called "Mother and Daughter Luncheon," which features a very poorly Photoshopped picture of Karen and Marshall attending. Karen laughs.
Karen goes to see Marshall on his boat. Marshall says he's glad that her plan worked. Karen says that alternative was for him to bend down and tie his shoe at just the right moment. He asks where she picks stuff like that up, then says he almost took the boat out for a spin. Karen asks why he didn't, and Marshall says it was due to weather. It's a perfectly nice day. Karen shrugs and says that there's always tomorrow. Marshall says it could be any other day either. They clink beer bottles and drink. Karen asks if Marshall remembers Bobby Capperelli. Marshall says, "The kid whose nose you broke in the cafeteria?" Karen is amazed, and then laughs.
