A: Yep, there it is! Stephen Falk. I'm getting good at this game.
Andy and Hooman -- wearing Ed Hardy and one star-bright shining earring -- head over to Ike Barinholtz's funeral parlor for the organ. He points them over to the John Does and goes back to his noodles.
Vaughn's curious about Cesar's getting shot with a crossbow, and Nancy's fake confused ten-yard stare is even more impressive than when Cesar almost got that quarter in the Skeeball machine to bean her with. That was like the most awesome thing that's ever happened on this show that didn't arise from Nancy going purposefully nuts. She won't tell him why the cartel's after her, either, and then she gets a text. Smiling, lying, she says it's from her son: He's found a girl, because he always finds a girl.
Q: "Shane?"
A funny place to go with the options, and she tells him to take Shane's name out his mouth.
Q: Why did she leave Esteban?
A: "He was gay! He took a gay lover named Arrrrmando."
Nancy seems less convinced by herself than ever.
Q: Why did she leave Esteban?
A: She didn't.
Q: Why is she running?
A:
Questions aren't going to work.
Q: How about Vaughn tells Nancy the story and she can fill in whatever blanks she feels like filling in? A valid third strategy.
A: Vaughn's take is that Nancy married a player in the biggest drug cartel in Mexico, and his boss hated her, and she died, and Nancy ran.
Q: Anything else in this theory of Vaughn's?
A: "Shane killed Pilar Zuazo."
Nancy's fake smile drips down her face like a Dali timepiece and she stares, stares, until finally Vaughn tells her to blink once if he's right. She stares at him like a Halloween mask, like a taxidermied pet, like a Clockwork Orange, like God loved Jacob. Things start to be weirder.
Hooman, and thank God he didn't have to die, picks the largest brownest penis he can find and Ike tells them the poor fella fell of a roof trying to rob a liquor store. That is so embarrassing! You're already doing something tacky and then on top of it, you die falling off a roof. Andy thinks about sex and death but mostly death and gives a wonderful speech about the life of struggle and the sadness of alcoholism. Right before Andy starts praying, Ike Barinholtz cuts off the penis and puts it in a jar. He's certainly been more crushworthy in his life but you know what, I can't stand the smell of formaldehyde anyway.
