Across the street, Ned and Chuck are snooping around in Ned's old house, trying to find clues as to the whereabouts of Chuck's dad. They find nothing but a brass button placed, Chuck thinks, conspicuously on the windowsill. Maybe it's a sign, she says, that her dad is... thinking of her? Because he always called her Button? This part is a little loose. She thinks the button means he's keeping a safe distance to protect her. "I feel it deep down inside of me that he wouldn't abandon me," she says. "He's here somewhere." Ned tells her she can't hang all that on this button she found. "Yes, I can," she insists. "I'm his Button Button."

And FURTHERmore, she's brought that saliva sample they took from Ned. "Because they have things in their mouths and in their hands that they do not want spread around," she adds, and sips her Norwegian tea with smug satisfaction. Nils wonders if these "things" would lead them to kill Dwight Dixon. "Well, that's why I'm here," Olive says, all business. "You tell me. There's plenty of sumpin'-sumpin' going on with those dirty birds, and since you're all about getting answers and so am I, I figured it was about time I joined the A-Team." Oh, the magical delights my mind concocts when I imagine Kristin Chenoweth alongside Mr. T...
