Nate "Awful Wedded Husband" Fisher dons his suit and makes his way downstairs to find Rico speaking with Mr. Comedy Killer Deaths Such As Cancer Don't Yield Kitschy Nicknames, and another man who appears to be the son from Florida. Rico speaks to them about a casket as Nate looks on, and when they ask for a moment to decide, Rico retires to the corner and chides Nate for being forty minutes late. Nate, who feels like he's doing his brother, the world, and the dead a favor by deigning to quit his job as The Dog Whisperer in order to return to the fold, barks, "Maya's still not used to day care yet. I had to stay with her for a while." Rico vents on that there was "no one here to meet the Morrisons," and Nate's all, "Well, where were you?" According to this recap, getting a blowjob from a guy.
Mr. Comedy Killer Deaths Such As Cancer Don't Yield Kitschy Nicknames and his son get into a heated argument about which casket they're going to choose. "I tried to bring it up with her," the father says. "It always seemed like a bad time." The son shrugs angrily and tells him to "pick the casket" so that they can move onto the business of "who's gonna speak at this thing." Mr. Comedy Killer Deaths Such As Cancer Don't Yield Kitschy Nicknames just stares and stares as his son insists, "Dad, I need to know what you want, here." Mr. Comedy Killer Deaths Such As Cancer Don't Yield Kitschy Nicknames waits a minute and whispers, "I want her back. I want things back the way they used to be." The son takes a pretty unsympathetic line on all this, telling his father, "If you guys hadn't been so scared about facing the truth, maybe we wouldn't have to fucking decide what casket she was gonna be buried in." At which point I wish I had maybe the ability to add in a hilarious fart sound effect of some kind to end this paragraph, because it would be a cheap shortcut past the fact that cancer just ain't funny. ["Also, I think that even if she had beaten the cancer...you know, she still would have needed a casket eventually." -- Wing Chun]
"So apparently, the father never said a word to anybody as the tumors just kept getting bigger and bigger," Rico explains to Nate as they descend to the basement. While Nate can't believe it ["even though didn't Nate kind of spend Season 2 doing exactly that?" -- Wing Chun], Rico allegorically agrees that "having to admit fucked-up shit about yourself fucking sucks." Rico drifts off-camera and and we hear him yell a spell later, "Oh, come on." They step fully into the room, where we find every available surface covered in liquids of many different colors, which is explained by Rico's incredulous "David's been cleaning again." Nate tells him that David needs to do all of this to stay relaxed and that he's on intakes, so Rico leans in and whispers, "If you decided you wanted to come back to the business, then be back." Oh, Rico. Don't be silly. Nate was always like that. Rico: "The two of you are just acting like you can just come and go and do whatever the hell you want." As if on cue, David walks in wearing a blue apron and rubber gloves, looking like The Anal-Retentive Mortician and making me think I should wait until something in my neighborhood goes horribly wrong so I can hire a housekeeper with an acute sense of post-traumatic stress disorder. They may weep at passing vans, but where's my ring around the collar? Gone. That's where.
