The time is 1:15:13 PM. Klockwise from the top left, SEHP "counsels" Bride, Palmer and Poor Man's Hume Cronyn do something with sheets of paper that looks campaign-esque, and Kiefer pours himself a glass of water from a stainless steel pitcher from the Restoration Hardware catalog. PMHC gives Palmer some advice about currying favor from some senators who'll be helpful to his campaign. Palmer doesn't want to, because he doesn't like them. Hello? Was I hallucinating, or did I just hear a politician claim that it was beneath him to butter up some people that he doesn't particularly like? Isn't that a bit like a Catholic Priest saying that he doesn't like to work on Sundays? But what's really on PMHC's mind is whether or not the "Ferragamo thing" is going to go away. Palmer tells him not to worry, he's got it under control. Theo enters mid-sentence, wearing lots of rayon and a Gucci belt and wanting to know what's up with the good doctor. Palmer explains that BadShrink died in an accidental fire. "What kind of fire?" says Theo. I dunno, Theo. A wicked hot one? Theo puts two and two together and konkludes that something's fishy about the fact that Ferragamo was the source of Maureen Kingsley's story and now he's dead. Remember how Theo wanted to let sleeping dogs lie a couple of hours ago? Well, now he wants to get to the bottom of his therapist's death. "I might have been involved with Gibson's death," says Theo. "But somebody murdered Ferragamo and they're going to have to pay!" Apparently, Dr. Ferragamo was the "only person" who was there for Theo in his hour of need. Theo? Are you heterosexual and single? Would you like to meet your soulmate? Her name is Kim Bauer, and she looks mighty fine in a cheerleading vest! Palmer tries to assure his son that he loves him and that he'll tell the truth if it looks like there's any foul play.
