RECAP:
Ani and Ray are in the evidence hangar looking at the car that was bombed.
Frank and Jordan talk about their fertility issues. She says maybe they should reschedule the appointment. She says that maybe they’ve been going about it wrong. She says maybe we should talk alternatives, such as adoptions. Frank’s not on board with this option at all. Jordan says that she might not be able to have a child and, if not, what should they do then? Frank says he needs to go to work because if he doesn’t sort stuff out soon on that front, well, then everything else won’t matter.
Paul wakes up in a bed. He seems hungover. He walks out into the living room and his friend from the army is there. Paul doesn’t remember going to his friend, who says that he met him at the club Lust, where Paul was trying to see if people recognized Casper’s face.
He quickly leaves his friends place and goes to look for his motorcycle; however, it’s not parked on the street. Soon, he’s mobbed by a news reporters. They bombard him with questions about his sex scandal, the one that got him placed on probation.
Ray and Ani talk about this state investigation. Ray tells her that Casper had his hands in a lot of money in a lot of different places, mainly land developments. He tells her that, when she’s working down here, she can’t be so naive. People play differently in Vinci.
Frank works on more business arrangements.
Ray picks up Paul. Ray tells him to “take a cure” for his hangover. He opens the glove blox to reveal an assortment of things. Paul goes for the liquor. Ray asks him where his bike is.

She tells them about her biological mother and how she killed herself in a psychiatric hospital under the watch of Dr. Pitler.

Ani goes to visit her sister, Nina. She says she’s saving up to go to Cal Arts. She says that she’d never do anything more than her webcam work; she’d never do any of the sex parties. Ani asks her were these parties are typically held. Nina says, “I don’t know, up North?”
Paul meets with his (ex) girlfriend in a diner. He says that he doesn’t blame her for what she did, and then she reveals that she’d pregnant. She doesn’t believe in abortion and tells him that she’s keeping it. He tells her that he’s glad she’s keeping the baby. He thinks they should get married. He wasn’t sure at first, but he knows he loves her. He wasn’t sure at first, until this moment, right here, right now. He says it’s a blessing.
Ani and Ray go to visit her father to ask him about Dr. Irving Pitler. He says that he was doing active research in his spiritual community in the 80s. Next, they ask him if he recognizes Casper. He does. He shows them a picture of them all when they were younger. The mayor is in the photo, too.

Ani says that this definitely wouldn’t have happened if she were a man, but her boss says that it definitely would have if a complaint was filed. She’s been suspended and can’t enter the department until the investigation is completed. Ani asks if the Vinci Mayor had anything to do with this. Her boss doesn’t respond but says that there’s word around that she has some major gambling debts and, if this is true, she best straighten out her bank records before IA gets hold of this info. She leaves. Of course, she’s pissed.
Frank and Ray meet in their go-to bar. Frank tells him that he’s getting back into some things, such as his club.
