On the snowy backroads of... wherever they are... Olive fires off the questions as Ned swerves along the highway. Does he know why Charles Charles's grave is empty? Yes. Was it robbed? No. They what did he do, just get up and walk away? Uh, yes. Whoa! Olive is shocked. "Chuck's father's alive?" she asks and Ned takes a mighty swerve. Olive continues unabated. If Chuck and her father faked their deaths, was Dwight Dixon onto them? Yes. Okay, well, did Ned have anything to do with Dwight's subsequent disappearance? Ned admits that yes, he did, though he did not mean to. "Okay, when you inadvertently, unintentionally and without malice aforethought disappeared Dwight," she asks, "did you disappear him in a permanent sense?" Ned swerves and says he doesn't understand the question. Olive: "Did you kill him?!" Ned: "DEAD END!" Olive gasps. "Is that an admission?" she asks. But um, no, it's not. It's more like an announcement -- because Mother has come to the literal end of the road and is going off a cliff.
I am telling you, there is no friend to the recapper like the commercial. I hate them at all other times, but when I am recapping, I think to myself often how I'd like to see at least five more minutes of this Lexus commercial where they try to convince us that people give each other cars for Christmas.
