Ryan comes back in to talk to Maggie and puts the records in front of her, asking why Rick would buy the toys. She says she doesn't know. Her phone rings -- it's Rick. She puts it on speaker and tells them she's with the FBI and asks where he is. Mike is trying to trace the call, but it's bouncing all over the place. Rick tells Maggie to tell Ryan it was all for him. Man. I'm about to go get some vodka for my water bottle at this point.
Mike says Rick's call is untraceable. Riley asks if they should try to make contact (with...whom?), but Parker tells him to take Maggie home and have someone stay with her. Ryan says he'll do it, but Parker calls him "Vodka Breath" and tells him to go back to the motel and sleep. He says he feels fine, but the Baconator is starting to look like one of the non-eye-gougy corpses, so yeah, he probably needs a little nappy-nap.
Ryan gathers up his stuff, and Mike guesses he's not going back to the motel to sleep. Ryan thinks Rick knows where Joey is. Mike volunteers his rental car for a grand adventure, because Mike hearts Ryan.
Jacob tells Emma that Joey is in his room. He says Paul just needed to get away from the house and blow off some steam, but Emma is worried about someone recognizing him. Jacob says Paul will be careful. Jacob asks if she sent "that e-mail," but she says she was waiting for Rick to call. "Why is no one doing what they're supposed to do," she fumes with all the sublimated rage of the world's most martyriffic Girl Scout troop leader.
Paul has taken himself off to a convenience store, and is staring and smiling creepily at a woman who just wants to get her Pringles on. She turns and walks away from him, and he looks up at the store's security cameras, then walks over and smiles even more creepily at a different woman, an employee. He greets her as Megan, the name on her name tag, and asks if they sell wine. They don't, just beer, and she laughs uncomfortably when he says he really wanted wine. He pulls out two six packs of Budweiser and asks "Red or white?" then inquires what time she gets off work.
Riley brings Maggie home, checking her house to see if Rick is there. She asks if he really thinks Rick will come home, but he says he's just there to keep her safe and she should do what she normally does. His phone rings, and Mike tells him he and Ryan are outside. Riley asks if they really think Rick would be stupid enough to come to the house, but Mike says he's killed two people in one day, so they're just being careful.
