Shane's still making his terrorist video while Lupita's housekeeper friend keeps gossiping about Nancy. She asks why Nancy sees "Mr. Doug" so often, and why Mr. Doug always goes and smokes weed after. Um, why are you stalking Mr. Doug, Miss Housekeeper? Lupita offers that maybe Nancy is fucking Mr. Doug. Housekeeper Friend laughs that "nobody fucks Mr. Doug," and she and Lupita crack up at what a loser Doug is. Lupita again says that Alejandro is full of shit, but her face registers quite a bit of newfound doubt. Later, Lupita is rummaging through boxes of old crap, and Shane asks her if she's stealing from them. She holds up a cheap plastic Menorah and says yes, she's stealing that.
Back at the bakery, Conrad's giving Nancy further concealment advice when Celia happens by, not wanting to be cooped up for the next three days waiting for surgery. She grabs her breasts with both hands and wistfully says, "The puppies are comin' off, Nance. And I think it's time to take them out for one last walk." Oh, and has Celia met Conrad, Nancy's "carpenter"? Celia looks him up and down like he's a slab of top round and shows him her new tattoo on her left breast. Is says, "Here today, gone tomorrow." Heh. Nancy's like, "Stop showing your boobs to everyone." Celia wants one last night on the town, though, and invites Conrad along. Nancy reminds her she has a husband. "Who's white and Jewish," scoffs Celia. "If we were going out for kreplach, maybe." Damn, Celia put so much Yiddish on that "kreplach," I'm surprised she didn't pull a muscle.
Back home, Silas doesn't want to have to communicate via texting anymore; he wants Megan to talk to him. She's super self-conscious about it, though, and when he begs her to trust him, she shuts him up by making out with him. You won't be surprised to learn that it works.
That night, Andy plays video games while Nancy gets all dolled up and ready to go out. She and Andy bicker about which of them is the more delusional fuckup, Mr. "Chris Saves" or Ms. Suburban Dealer 2005. She doesn't want to get sucked into an argument, and Andy mockingly says she should tap into her higher power, then. "If I could tap into my higher power, my fingers wouldn't be numb," she says. I think she's talking about her bajingo. Shane comes bounding in, wanting Nancy to look at his terrorist video, but she's gotta go. Shane dejectedly mopes off.
And it looks like Conrad's taken the White Lady Brigade to a decidedly urban dance club. It's like The Matrix: Reloaded up in here, but with better clothes. Celia slides up to Conrad and asks if it's true that when a white lady goes carpenter, she doesn't go back. Conrad says, "When I nail something, it stays nailed." Celia leans over to Nancy and announces she's got cancer and jungle fever, "and tonight, one of 'em's gonna get cured." Nancy's left to wingman at the bar while Celia and Conrad dance, and she spots some dude in a pimp uniform being escorted to the VIP area. They make eye contact. Nancy's intrigued.
