Episode Report Card Wing Chun: B | Grade It Now! YOU GRADE IT "My Husband's Back And He Phases Through Solid Matter"
By Wing Chun | Season 1 | Episode 6 | Aired on 10.29.2006
D.L. comes into Micah's room, asking after Niki. Micah sadly says that she went to lie down. "Yeah, she's had a hard day," offers D.L.
"What do you think D.L. will do when he finds out what we've done?" asks ikiN. "'What we've done'?" Niki repeats.
Micah asks D.L. if he and Niki are going to get back together. D.L. mushmouths some crap about what it's like in relationships when one person goes to jail and the other doesn't believe he was wrongly convicted. Micah's like, "It's a simple question, but NEVER MIND."
ikiN confirms everything we already figured out: "We framed [D.L.]. We killed his crew, stole $2 million. We killed those thugs in the garage, killed those little bitches at the poker game. We've been very busy." "Those men were ripped apart," gasps Niki. ikiN shrugs: "Yeah, well, what can I say?" Niki sniffles that the guys at the poker game didn't do anything to her, to which ikiN replies that leaving witnesses would be sloppy: "I did what had to be done, like I always do." Like a good neighbour, ikiN is theeeeeere!
"Are you getting back together or not?" Micah presses, apparently as unimpressed by D.L.'s wishy-washiness as I am. D.L. says he doesn't know: "I hope so." Sure, what guy doesn't dream of a ménage à trois?
ikiN straightens up to tell Niki what they're going to do now: "You're going to get the money, and you're going to take Micah as far away from D.L. as you can." Niki's not having it: "D.L. can take care of me." What "take care"? You and your shadow have taken five professional bad guys and transformed them into twenty-odd parcels of giblets. You don't think you can "take care" of yourself? ikiN says that D.L. will think Niki is crazy if she tells him the truth, and furthermore, that when he finally catches up with the rest of us and figures out what she did, "he'll take Micah away from us," and the only question will be whether he kills Niki before he leaves. Niki seems to agree that this is probably the case. But it doesn't track: I seriously don't know whether D.L. was a good, honest person innocently working construction before he went to prison, or a criminal seasoned enough to plan a $2 million heist, have "a crew," know all sorts of underworld figures with McDonald's-kitchen-locked hideouts, and be capable of murdering the mother of his child just because he's pissed she made him spend half a year in a prison he totally could have walked out of at any point. Maybe there are also two D.L.s!
"You know how you have a secret?" Micah quietly asks D.L. "Mom has a secret too." She sleeps with a nightlight? She bites her toenails? She has a teenie weenie?
