Okay, so you know that whole thing where Lydia murdered Pauls brother?
It turns outthat No Good Deedwas just kidding!
I have several questions, but mainly: Did no one check for a pulse?
I guess thats a good thing, but also, can they stop doing it?
Of course, at first, Paul really does think his wife killed his brother.
Eventually, though, we do get to see him slowly process it throughout the episode.
Once Lydia takes Pauls advice to get the fuck out, Pauls left to tend to his brother.
Im so happy for them.
Paul, understandably, does not have time for this.
But they definitely shouldnt just leave immediately, Pauls brother would not have wanted that, Greg assures them.
The man is nothing if not Good at His Job.
Dennis winds up taking a call from his doctor in the bathroom.
Dennis takes this as a death sentence.
Just as hes getting this news, Paul walks in to take a shower.
And thriving by the sound of those thumps.
But at the moment, Lydia is having quite a weird day of her own.
Later, well learn that Margo is only faking her ankle injury.
Shes manipulating Lydia into spending time with her, or having some empathy for her, or both.
She wants to build a bond.
Margo opens up about cheating on JD.
Lydia opens up about her troubled relationship with her daughter Emily.
They talk about Jacob, too.
Margo tells her how much her step-daughter, JDs daughter, Harper, loved getting piano lessons from him.
She also hands Lydia a Dodgers hat that she says belonged to Jacob.
He left it here once during lessons, and she never got to return it.
She just didnt know what to say.
She always thought Jacob was a special young man.
Sometimes I feel guilty for just being alive.
Whether any of this is true its hard to imagine Margo so sincere, isnt it?
we dont know, but it is effective.
The two women are in tears.
That is precisely the moment Margo brings up making an offer on the house.
Oh, she is good.
One Margo makeover later, Lydia returns home to find Paul talking to the door to the secret room.
He is apologizing to his brother for all of it.
Paul wants to start over.
Hey, maybe its possible.
Just kidding, its not.
At least not any time soon.
Mikey comes out of the room swinging.
Paul goes ballistic and beats his face in until, we have to assume, Mikey goes unconscious again.
He hasnt written any of it; theres just too much pressure.
Carla is not pleased.
Everybodys lying to their wives on this show!
JD tells Margo that his meeting was about getting a part in a Marvel movie instead of the truth.
Is JD actually dangerous, or just a big dummy?
I think I get it.
