Big Sister Is Watching

Solomon brings Bridget to a shop called, "Hot Coffee & Cool Books." Bridget says it doesn't look like her kind of place, but Solomon assures her she used to spend hours there, sitting at the chess table. The chess table has a secret compartment. The waitress explains that customers write down wishes, put their name and the date on them [You're welcome. -- Contrivance Fairy] and slip them into the slot on the table. It's a hokey tradition, she says. And a stupid one, I say. The key doesn't fit the compartment lock, which is clearly meant for a skeleton key, so Bridget jimmies it open with a butter knife. She soon finds Shiv's wish, ever so thoughtfully written on note-sized paper with a S M stamped or doodled on the side. [I really didn't expect to feature so heavily, this early in the episode. --Contrivance Fairy] Siobhan's wish reads: I wish I could forgive my sister, but I can't. It's dated 9-8-11.

Flashing back to their last day together and Shiv's assurance that Bridget was already forgiven (for whatever that Sean business was), Bridget is devastated. Solomon comes in just then with her purse, which she left behind in the limo. I can't decide if that's important or not, but it seems like it should happen for a reason. He sees Bridget crumple up the wish and close the table compartment. He also notices how upset she looks and asks if she's okay. Bridget: "No. My sister lied to me. I wonder what else she lied to me about." Pretty much everything, NICE BUFFY.

Restaurant. Tool Belt meets with Tim Arbogast (Gregory Harrison, who is still looking good). Arbogast talks about his heart attack, but admits he's still smoking. They talk about how hard Gemma's death has been and Arbogast notes the two men haven't been alone together, since the day Tool Belt asked to marry Gemma. I can't decide if that's weird or not. I mean, my dad and Scott didn't go places together, but surely there were times when we were visiting my folks, or they were visiting us that they were alone watching a game or something while my mother and I were in the kitchen. Anyhow, Tool Belt apologizes for not reaching out sooner. When Arbogast asks what business Henry has to discuss, Henry takes a huge swig of his drink. Arbogast: "I may be stubborn, but I'm not blind. I know what I'm doing here." Tool Belt gulps. "You do?" Arbogast: "You wanted to stay connected to Gemma. And you can. I'll always... love her. And I feel the same way about you, Henry." You do??? Oh, I hope you are setting up Tool Belt, Arbogast. I truly do. Anyhow, Henry suggests a meeting with Martin/Charles.
