This is another strong chapter, elevated by great work from Linda Cardellini.
Before they can really dig in, though, Perez calls Jen in a panic.
Judy will take care of herself; Jen will take care of the cover-up.
Eileen Wood (Frances Conroy) is back!
And then Nick pops up!
The officer is snooping and returns the wooden bird left at the bar he saw Ben stumble out of.
Nick notes that he nearly drank himself out of his job too and just got his six-month chip.
Ben has had a few of those.
After all, We go way-AA back.
The plot thickens when Perez tells Jen that they found the missing wooden bird tail in Steves skull.
They have to get the full bird back and dispose of it.
Perez also drops that theres a new FBI agent on the investigation and hes The MVP of the FBI.
They take Tums and attempt to visualize a positive outcome.
Steve stole millions of dollars from them, after all.
Dillahunt is so good at looking uncertain.
Meanwhile, Jen is at the Wood house, finally breaking Eileen out of her emotional fugue a bit.
Its easy to forget that Jen is currently helping emotionally assuage the mother of the man she killed.
Will Nick put it together?
He takes the photo, staring at it, and appears to have a lightbulb moment.
No way, he says.
Will it be enough to send Nick off the scent?
The song of choice?
Jen gives into the moment and prays for Judy, leading to some big tears.
She pours a glass of wine and chugs it before pouring another, seemingly bracing to tell Jen.
She tells her BFF that shes fine, and they go off to douse the bird in lighter fuel.
Is that the right move?
Couldnt they keep it and prove that the tail isnt embedded in Steves head?
Nonetheless, they celebrate, and while they do, someone is observing Jens house: Agent Moranis.
