Lorraine calls things off. Gator asks questions. Wayne makes a surprising discovery. Indira offers a new perspective.
Vivian Dugger is seen stumbling out of The Tender Trap where he runs into Roy waiting for him outside. Having been recently strong-armed into a deal with Lorraine, Roy is there to make sure that doesn't happen. Roy confronts Vivian about there being at least one dancer with a restraining order against him, to which Vivian replies that Candy moved to Sioux Falls to help her mother, Roy retorting that the judge wouldn't like him keeping tabs. He dismisses Vivian's strip-club going pals, and they leave knowing there is nothing they can do. After stripping Vivian's shirt off in a tense encounter, Roy informs him that he won't be selling out to Lorraine after all- saying "you know what happens in moments of life and death, is that everything comes into focus. Are you focused, Vivian?".
A state over, Indira awakes to the sound of a debt collection voicemail playing, stating if it cannot be settled soon they will move to litigation. As Scotty is eating her breakfast and reading, Indira clicks open the garage which reveals Lars to a bus full of children in his boxers having slept in there. Scotty asks if she is going to school, and Indira tells her no. After being woken up by children's laughter, Lars makes his way into the kitchen. There he lectures her about what is means to be a good wife: Put him first, cook "good, you know", and meet all of his outlandish, undeserved needs. He gets tasked with watching over Scotty while Indira goes to work, her leaving after saying they can discuss who really needs a wife when she gets home.
Over a the Tillman ranch, we see the captive Mr. Seymore who was swapped for Wayne at the hospital. His face is beaten and bloody, continuing his normal complaints and confused about who Dot is. Roy and his wife watch Trump's impeachment speech on the television while she cuts his hair- Karen upset over the news. The TV switches to a commercial for Wayne Lyon Kia, Roy noting his true identity and turning his head enough for Karen to cut him, which gets her a slap across the face. Gator comes in to say they have Nadine's husband, to which Roy replies "I am Nadine's husband". They make their way to the barn, where Roy immediately realizes it is not Wayne. As Mr. Seymore is chastising him, Roy pulls out his gun and shoots in blank in the head. Mr. Seymore switches and stares straight forward with a shocked look before his head slumps over, blood pouring from his wound.
Gator, shocked by his father's slaying of their supposed only leverage, asked why he did that. Roy brings it to their attention that wasn't Wayne, confused on how they got the wrong guy considering Gator claimed to have gotten a good look at him during the home invasion. Disappointed, Roy points out Gator's bad luck streak. Gator says that he doesn't know what's going on, he's normally a winner and not some "puke pile". The two then get on their way to "pay the boogieman".
At the hospital, Indira is interviewing a nurse about the whereabouts of Mr. Seymore. The nurse divulges that two men who said they were family checked him out and that his wife is hysterical because nobody has seen him since. Indira then notices Wayne Lyon's name in the room across the hall, with the nurse mentioning the FBI agents looking for the escaped mental patient and that they are talking to Mr. Lyon right now.
The conversation with the agents doesn't go too well- between Wayne still being out of it and his ditzy alcoholic father, Wink, not much information is divulged. The agents however do tell them Dot's old name- Nadine Bump. Indira joins by interrupting the interview, introducing herself, and mentioning her many voicemails left to them. She tells them that she has information they will want to hear, and the agents end their interview.
