Hero to Zero

Nice transition side slide to a scene at Club Zero. Liv Lite is kneeling next to the dead carcass of Parker Lewis. She's crying. She looks up to Lex. Lex looks a little sad. A police officer loudly makes his way through the crowd. Hey! It's MeanCop from "Rogue"! Well, he's still a bastard, and this is the much-referenced incident where he and Lex took care of that nasty stab wound. (Only it doesn't seem so nasty here.) MeanCop waves his badge right in Kasitch's face and asks if he's what passes for security "in this zoo." Um, yes. "Don't go anywhere. We'll talk," MeanCop says. MeanCop goes up to Lex, who recognizes him. Lex thanks god for MeanCop. MeanCop asks Lex to tell him everything that happened. Liv Lite is still crying. "What went down?" MeanCop asks.

We flash back to the scene earlier as Lex is stabbed. This time, Lex and Kasitch struggle with the gun and it goes off, shooting Parker Lewis. We hear a scream.

Flashback to Lex and MeanCop. "That's exactly what happened?" the crooked policeman asks. Lex nods. "Good," MeanCop says. MeanCop tells Lex that Lex was never at the club (despite there being, like, a thousand potential witnesses), and that his name will not appear in newspapers or in any police report. "That's what your daddy's money's for," MeanCop says when Lex tries to thank him. Lex asks about Liv Lite. MeanCop tells him that he'll take care of everyone's story, but Lex can't ever see or talk to her again. Why the hell not? MeanCop gives Lex the number for a guy to fix his shoulder. Dr. Feelgood! Sadly, we never see his strung-out ass in this episode. Lex is told to leave. He stops for a poignant look over to the still-crying Liv Lite. Some spoken-word dance music is playing. MeanCop goes over to Kasitch and asks if he saw what happened. "Most of it," Kasitch says. "Well, smile. You're about to come into some serious money," MeanCop tells him.

Sideways transition back to Lex and the punching bag. A gun pops into frame from the right, right into the back of Lex's neck. Lex turns slowly, sweating. It's Parker Lewis, looking awful, despite a huge grin. "Nothing to say?" he asks. Lex starts to call the guy a crazy bastard, but Parker says he wants to know what happened at Club Zero. "The cover-up!" he yells in Lex's face. Parker puts the gun under Lex's chin and starts stroking Lex's face with his gloved hand as he looks at him adoringly. It is, at long last, the Gayest Look of the Episode. Parker notes that the cop from Club Zero is now dead. He says he finds it interesting that Lex was involved with that, too. Lex asks why Parker won't kill him now. "Because...it's more fun to watch you suffer," he says, as if it's obvious. He goes, "Bang!" with the gun pointed to Lex's temple. Lex flinches.
