Nancy pipes up to her roommate to help with a crossword puzzle. The woman thinks someone has been trying to kill off Nancy's whole family.
Shane drops by and Nancy gets up out of bed to walk around with him, using her walker. The cops wrote "Mexican mafia" in Nancy's file and it morphed into just Mafia around town. Jill's milking it to park in the handicapped spots.
Shane has a workbook to show her. She thinks it's from school and says she's proud of him. He's worked out a diagram on who might want her dead, including Guillermo, Heylia and Cesar.
The doctor tells Nancy she can go home as soon as she can go up the stairs. He flirts with her and tells Shane she's been a "beam of sunshine."
Nancy doesn't want to talk about who might want her dead, but she thinks he got what he came for and won't be back. She gets tired halfway up the stairs.
Taylor pounds on the attic drop down stairs to break up Jill and Andy. They come downstairs disheveled to see Jill's husband Scott there. He was in India. Apparently three weeks with dysentery gives you time to think.
"When the sky is grey, it's just clouds, not actual sky. Then the clouds pass and you see that the sky's still there and it's still blue. The clouds aren't hurting the sky. They were temporary," he says.
He brought cookie dough flavored Luna bars. Jill offers hers to Andy. Scott is staying at a hotel and asks Jill to have dinner with him. She thinks he wants something.
Nancy delivers mail and goodies to patients, including pistachios and peach schnapps to Gretl, a cancer patient. She wants something from "the clown" before he sells out.
In a room at the end of the hall, Butters the clown takes $20 for medicinal lollipops for patients. Nancy asks Shane if she was like that, a "gouge-y clown douche." "I think I was a bad person, I don't want to be like that anymore," she says. She resolves to be the "After" Botwins.
In Doug's office, the hot couriers come by and need the company credit card for Kiki. They also have a business proposal for him -- a "tri-kini" involving a bikini and a scarf that can be tied six ways. Their demonstration involves a shaking of booty. Doug's in.
Silas spanks a tied up Kiki. She wants to know when Nancy is coming back, she's low on supply. Nancy calls, asking Silas to come by.
In the police academy, Silas is hung up on the stat about 85% of offenders coming from fatherless homes. He makes friends with a cadet named Mullen who also lost her dad.
In the hospital, Nancy makes pretty little bags for the pot cookies Silas made. He tries to figure out what to charge, but Nancy says they're not taking any money -- it would be wrong to profit from pain. She remembers that her mom worked in gift wrap at a department store and all presents had to be wrapped perfectly.
Silas wants to at least cover their costs. "Honey, you're thinking like 'Before Silas'. That was the past, the prologue," she says.
Nancy distributes the cookies to everyone.
Jill gets ready for dinner in Nancy's fancy dress and shoes. She's trying to show Scott that she's doing fine. She promises to bring food home for Andy. He reminds her to agree to nothing, just hear Scott out.
Nancy finds all the patients giggling and scarfing down cookies, happy and pain-free.
Nancy wakes up to a fat man with traces of clown make-up hovering over her bed and sprinkling cookie crumbs on her. He warns her she's out of her league and to back off.
Nancy's roommate hears and thinks it's the mafia threatening her. "When will they be satisfied? Animals," she asks.
Andy finds the girls packing up in their rooms. They think they're going home. They've seen this many times. Jill gets angry at Scott for being controlling and takes off, she finds a distraction like Rick, Scott gives her some space, he comes back, apologizes, she remembers that he's a good bread winner and they get back together. Last time she got a painting studio out of it. It hasn't happened yet, but they're packing to get a jump start on things. Andy tries to call Jill but gets her voice mail.
Nancy's hears giggling through the wall and gets up. She finds Butters the Clown about to bend a nurse over. Nancy introduces herself to the nurse as the woman from the Post Road shooting, who's in the Cosa Nostra. The nurse runs off.
Nancy explains to the clown that from now on, people in pain don't pay. She tells him he's got a second chance to be a better person and should use it.
At dinner, Jill orders another beer. Scott takes out his prepared remarks, including his desire to start clean and fresh. She chows down on her Chinese food as he explains that he bears her no ill will.
"I want you to know I regret what I once was and what I allowed our lives to become," he reads. He's droning on when Andy comes in. He starts pantomiming behind her. She's charmed but tries to listen to Scott. He wants them to rejoin for the sake of their beautiful family. He tells her it's his "troth."
Andy picks up a Peking duck and starts doing something foul (no pun intended) with it, distracting her.
Cut to Andy and Jill in the shower stall going at it. He tells her he's not a distraction and they're not just having sex, it's something else.
Scott opens the stall door on them. He tears up his prepared remarks. "I no longer choose to embrace all that you are or will be. You no longer have my f----- troth. People don't change, it's b-------!" He goes off muttering about six months in India.
In the stairway, Nancy makes it to the top of a flight of stairs, victorious.
Nancy gets wheeled out. Steven thanks the clown for all the balloon animals.
In the police academy, Shane finds Tim Scottson's webpage.
