Beer Bad, Blood Badder

When she gets to the hallway, she hears Juliet getting sick in the bathroom. No stranger to prostrating oneself before the porcelain goddess, Bridget can't help but peek in on her sister's step-brat. "Juliet?" Juliet looks up from toilet bowl, mascara flowing down her face. "I took something at a bar and now I feel weird." She doesn't know what it was. "Some girl gave me a pill. I think it was orange." Bridget: "Do you want me to get your father?" Juliet cries: "No Siobhan, please. Daddy will kill me. Please." Bridget: "Okay. What do you want me to do?" Juliet sobs. "Just... don't leave." And we flashback to...

Tahoe bar, 9 years ago: Siobhan walks in and finds a very Cave-Slayer-looking Bridget, drinking coffee and complaining that she's going to be sick. She had too much to drink and Siobhan needs to pay her tab, because Bridget got fired. "And it's not my fault. My boss was a total dick." Shiv: "God, Bridget. I left a date because I thought you were in trouble. You said it was an emergency. Turns out you're just drunk and broke." Bridget says she's sorry, but Shiv argues that she's selfish. Bridget: "Come on, Shiv. I need you tonight." Shiv: "No you don't. You just need someone to clean up your mess and I am over it." She takes out some cash and hands it to Cave Twin. "Here, this is for your bar tab and your ride home." Bridget asks her sister not to leave, but she's already gone. She fondles the money and our flashback ends. Back to the...

Present. Bridget tells Juliet, "I'm here. I'm not going anywhere." She drops to the floor, and cradles a still sobbing Juliet in her arms. Out in the hallway, Andrew looks on. At first he's shocked at the tender scene transpiring in the bathroom, but he soon smiles, maybe a little sadly. The camera cuts back to Bridget comforting Juliet before we go to commercial.

Loft: It's still night as Bridget enters the loft. She's calling Malcolm, but she's reached his voicemail once again. She (unwisely, in my opinion) leaves a voicemail: "Hey, it's me. My bag's packed. I have the money. I'm all set to go. I just... I can't. For the first time in my life, I'm not the one leaning on people. People here need Siobhan to stay, and I need to stay here for Siobhan. I hope you understand."

Parking Garage: Malcolm is headed toward his car as he realizes he's just missed a call. He curses as he takes out his cell phone and listens to Bridget's message. While it plays, an SUV drives up and shines its lights right in his face. He doesn't move out of the way, which seems weird to me. Anyhow, inside, in the passenger seat, is the menacing Macawi, menacing around and stuff. Just as he's about to get out, a student runs up to Malcolm and hands in an assignment. This is enough to chase off Macawi and his driver. Malcolm tells the kid, "Cutting it close, man." You and him both, Mal. Can I call you Mal?
