We open at the police station. Henry "Tool Belt" Butler is being interrogated about Tyler "Boytoy" Barrett's death. The cop suggests it was an accident. Henry swears he didn't do it. The cop asks, "If you didn't, who did?" Okay, I realize Henry did do it, but I still want to ask the cop, "Isn't it your job to figure that out?" We cut to a shot of Catherine making out with Andrew. From there we cut to a shot of a sniper. He's training his sight on Bridget, who is inside some abandoned building, talking on her cell phone. The next shot shows her lying on the floor. Is she dead? She sure looks it, but let's not be silly; this is her show. Title card. Commercials.
After the break, we flash back two days earlier. Agent Victor "Guyliner' Machado shows Bridget-as-Shiv and Andrew the tower tarot card from last week. It means nothing to them. When Guyliner tells them the guy who shot Andrew was carrying it and goes into this spiel about it being a marker from a dirty dry cleaner's shop and my word, I respect Nestor Carbonell and you, my gentle readers, too much to go over this nonsense.
Talk turns to Daniel Eknath -- the Macawi minion who was found dead in the park last week. The cops or the feds or someone found his van. There was a log book inside. Eknath had been watching Malcolm Ward. He had addresses in it for Martin/Charles, Malcolm's hotel and the Martins' Park Ave. apartment. Guyliner's theory is that Eknath followed Malcolm to Park Ave and mistook Bridget-as-Shiv for Bridget, which you know, would make him smarter than anyone else on this show. In case Eknath reported back to Macawi that he "thought" he found Bridget, Guyliner is doing everything he can to keep the Martin family safe. Andrew does not find that at all reassuring, since Malcolm disappeared and blah blah incompetence cakes. Guyliner keeps his cool and tells Bridget that NYPD will have some officers watching their apartment and Andrew's office.
When Guyliner leaves, Bridget tells Andrew that Eknath couldn't be the person who attacked her six months ago, because he wouldn't have been in town yet. Andrew's all, "Unless Guyliner is wrong about that, too." And wait a second. Wouldn't it be calming to think Eknath is Bridget-as-Shiv's assailant, since he's dead and all? And wait another second, by the end of this hour, we're going to find out most of the stuff is a red herring, so why am I wasting my time on it? UGH!
