Meanwhile, Niki's just waking up in her padded room, and she's not wearing her straightjacket. She immediately panics, wondering why the jacket was removed, and the woman lounging across from her introduces herself as Dr. Witherton, a psychiatrist. She's practically napping, this woman's so relaxed. Niki's freaking that she's not restrained and says that the drugs she's fed help keep Jessica weak. She demands a shot, but the doctor's not having any of it. She says she read Niki's file and knows all about Jessica and Niki's past and the porn site and her sister's untimely accidental death. All Niki says is that she wants another shot. The doctor says that it looks like they're dealing with a classic case of multiple personality disorder. Niki's all, dude? I break people in half, okay? That ain't no MPD.
The doctor does some mental health chattering about how Niki can make something of herself while in the hospital, and Niki just looks like shit and thinks about how good a horse tranquilizer would taste right about now. The doctor says she wants to help Niki, but Niki has to want to help herself. "What I am," says Niki, "you can't fix. Just gimme another shot and go away." The doctor refuses to and she takes the straightjacket and leaves.
Family of Heroes Homestead. D.L.'s on the phone, talking to someone about how he's trying to pay the rent and it's really tough or something. Micah enters and snottily asks if D.L. has seen his damn lunchbox or what? D.L.'s all, it's where you left it. Micah's all, well, I left it in the car. D.L.'s like, then it's in the car, you little shit. Micah's like, well, WHERE'S THE CAR? D.L.'s like, dude? It's in the shop. And you best be watching your damn mouth before I come over there and watch it for you, little man. Micah just snots that D.L. makes crap lunches anyway, so there. They continue to argue about how good a mom Niki was and how shit a dad D.L. is and how Niki always managed to find a way to make money, and Micah thinks his dad should restart his mom's garage porn business because that was a real cash cow, that idea. Micah goes to school and D.L. wonders what the child labor laws are in Vegas.
