    Summary

    It’s been six months to the day since she was first trapped by evil cosmic forces in this tiny, underfunded FBI office with a convicted felon she’s slowly and infuriatingly fallen in love with.

    If this goes on for any longer, Juliet thinks she'll have to be committed.

    Summary

    It doesn't matter that Juliet is a freshly-minted, top-of-her-class field agent (alright, so she hasn't actually been in the field yet) or one of the few women working for the Federal Bureau of Investigation's cutting edge check fraud department (just last week, their 20-year-old coffee maker broke and they ran out of number two pencils to mark up their overhead projector notes with): every time her mother calls, all she does is lament that her beautiful, intelligent daughter isn't meeting any eligible bachelors.

    “Maybe that’s for the best,” Maryanne sighs eventually. “All O’Hara women fall for liars, Julie. It’s our curse.”

    Juliet wonders whether she doesn't scoff at her mother's claim a little bit too soon.

    Summary

    “There’s plenty I like about Johnny,” Kathy says. “Like I said, he keeps his head. And he’s loyal. I seen women throw themselves all over him but he’s only got eyes for Benny.”

    “Betty.”

    “Betty. That’s what I said.”

    Later, Danny plays back the recording and confirms she did in fact say Benny.

    Or: Johnny tells Danny about the blizzard of '67. Kathy explains how Benny dodged the draft. And Benny finally agrees to be interviewed.

    Summary

    Tim never wanted to be detective. A lot of lonely paper shuffling and pissing contests and business professional attire. No thanks. He was always more of a uniform guy. Singular part of an outfit. Little league, football, army, LAPD. So he had a lot of experience in groups, and leading groups, and analyzing groups, and he could tell when there was disarray. He could tell when there was a problem, and who the problem was.

    The problem is, is that the problem is him.

    But he's in a rundown shed in the middle of Who Fucking Knows, Nevada, staring at five men and women around a table who are armed to the teeth, and they all know he's the odd man out. They know he doesn't belong.

    What Tim knows, is that Lucy is in the basement of this shed.

    And he's either leaving here with her, or he's not leaving here at all.

    *
    Or, Lucy is gone. Tim finds her.
