Drug house. Pink bunny's sitting with Sylon, who's trying to help Matt solve the crime. Rick Worthy leaves to check out the garage and the suspect watches Matt talk to what appears to be himself. Sylon won't help Matt now, though; instead he psychoanalyzes him, telling him that Janice and his kid will never love him. The suspect swears he's innocent, but Matt finds a box cutter and a magazine with letters cut out of it. Then he finds a ransom letter made with those letters. It says something about "She dies or $200,000." Sylon wonders if Matt's man enough to save the girl. Recycled storyline alert!
Back at lunch, Gretchen tells HRG how good this food was, and gets up to use the restroom. HRG tells Claire he needs to contact the Haitian to clean up this mess Claire's made. He pulls out his phone, but Claire's like, "Hey! Gretchen is not the enemy." Claire says she's the only friend she's made, and she can handle this herself. He asks what Claire's plan is, and as he starts to dial, she tells him to stop, threatening to lose contact with him if he does it. She'll handle this herself. He puts his phone away as Gretchen comes back. It makes me angry how pointless everything about this storyline is.
Speaking of, Matt's storming toward the suspect asking where the girl is. The suspect's all, "What girl? There is no girl!" But Matt's overacting in his face about the ransom note, and Sylon's trying to get Matt to use his power. Matt does, or so it seems, and he hears, "She's under the stairs." Matt looks under the stairs and finds a dead girl. He comes back in and starts beating the crap out of the suspect. Rick Worthy comes in and asks what the hell Matt's doing, and Matt points Rick Worthy to the girl, but ... there is no girl. When Matt returns to see that, a clock starts ticking so we know it was all Sylon's work. There's no ransom note or pink bunny either. Matt look at Sylon, who says he used Matt's own power against him. Whatever. That's not actually possible, even in this world.
