It's still raining outside. Back in the office, Di takes Kirky over for a coffee and gets her keys back. When she learns that Kirky gave Don money to help him leave town she says, "You could be accessory to felony escape!" Kirky says that if anything happens Di shouldn't say that knew Kirky took her keys. "He wanted to run -- that's what he does. I believe he's gonna be out of my life now." Di says, "I hope that's how it works," and they hug. Di, how about a smack upside Kirky's head? No such luck.
Sip and Ricky come in, John says that Mom Wiggins is using the lavatory, and they run to Fancy's office, free and clear from the disapproving mom. Ricky explains the whole thing about one brother being brought in because his gun was involved in a homicide, and how that brother inadvertently ratted out his little brother, who acted in self-defense and looks like he could get off because the whole family co-operated with the Blue cops. Sip says, "That's what you gotta explain to her. She'll take it better coming from you. She's taken an instant dislike...possible racial component." Oy. Fancy just gets up and strides over to Mom Wiggins and introduces himself. "Arthur Fancy." I love Fancy. Mom Wiggins is understandably in a snit, and says of Sip and Ricky, "Make me wait all this time and don't even have the nerve to tell me themselves...he told me I could trust him. That old bald one." Hee. Fancy explains that her sons will need to be arraigned, but since they all co-operated so well, he doesn't see them doing any jail time. The Mom seems appeased but says, "I can't stand saying goodbye to them." Fancy says he'll say good bye for her. The Mom gets one more shot in: "Tell that old bald one that I hold him accountable," and leaves.
As Fancy returns to his office, Sip asks how it went. "Was she combative?" Fancy says, "No, you stupid white man." Just kidding, he just said no. "She accepts we're going to do our best to keep her sons out of jail," Fancy explains. Sip, idiot, says, "I knew you'd have a better rapport with her." He should have listened to his Learning Jive Lingo! Tapes. Sip, still concerned about how HE looks, asks, "Did she make any derogatory references?" Fancy pauses and says, "She said you were old. And bald." Sip says, "Old!" and Ricky says "Bald!?" Hee hee hee!
