Jeanette then leans in even further and asks T-Bag, "Speaking of that... can you do me a favor?" T-Bag's eyebrows go all squirrelly as he contemplates the possibilities here, and he replies, "I'm certain of it." Jeanette whispers, "Come here." (My friend Erin: "God! It's turned into a soft-core porn... they weren't doing all this in prison, were they?" Me: "Well, not voluntarily.")
T-Bag leans in and Jeanette tells him, "You have to be very discreet." T-Bag replies, "They don't come any discreeter." Is that even a word? Jeanette then asks, "Can you ask that big guy, the one that doesn't speak much? Would you go in there and ask him if he would like to have a drink with me after he punches out? Please?" What, did Jeanette never graduate to the big-girl school of asking people out? Does she just pass notes: "Would you like to sleep with me? ( ) Yes ( ) Maybe ( ) No."
Well. T-Bag does not take well to being the wing-man. He rears back as the music gets all ominous, then asks, "You've just been playing me this whole time, haven't you?" Jeanette wheedles, "Don't be like that. Would you just go ask your friend?" T-Bag's eyes slide to the ice pick. I think he'll be getting back up on the stabby bicycle soon.
We then switch to some grocery store in Chicago. Dr. Sara's busy getting produce when her phone rings. On the other end, Governor Dad says frantically, "I've been trying to reach you!" She tells him she's been meeting with her defense attorneys all day, and asks if he's in Washington. Governor Dad says, "I am, but I'm coming home on the next flight! Plans changed, okay?" As Dr. Sara sniffs a grapefruit, her dad continues urgently, "Sara! Do you remember that man I met at your apartment? I want you to stay away from him." Sara incredulously asks, "Lance? From my group?" Governor Dad replies, "That's him! He is not who he says he is! I found out some other things too! You were right." As Dr. Sara takes all this in, she turns around -- and runs into Kellerman. What, did someone over in the bagged-salad section say his name three times? As Dr. Sara's dad says frantically, "Sara!," her eyes bug out and she blurts, "I gotta go."
And now, it is time for Tweener's day to get EVEN WORSE. That poor idiot. He's at the gas station, and as we see him walking toward the door to pay, we see the cashier looking at something. Tweener walks in, the cashier's on the phone saying, "Yeah, that's right. Yeah, yeah." Doing his best not to blend in with white-bread America, Tweener greets the cashier with, "Yo." The cashier attempts to stall him, Tweener replies he's in a hurry, and then Tweener notices the cashier has broken into a flop sweat. He notices the phone on the counter and realizes there's a law enforcement type on the other line. Then Tweener notices the guy's looking at a big ol' Wanted poster, featuring his pretty mug in the upper left hand corner.
