I never thought I'd say this, but I honestly wish his sisters would come back and save him before he pulls the entire bookcase over on himself. This is the most gambling addict behavior we've ever seen out of him, with the possible exception of the Cuddy times we don't talk about.
THE THIRD PETER
It's just a guy. A guy named Peter, who went to "high school" -- a paramilitary training camp in the hills, run by one Wendy Scott-Carr under a Black Site contract with the American CIA -- with Marilyn, and whose shared reunion was right around the time of conception of the mysterious Garbanza Bean. He's good-looking, so there's that, but mostly Kalinda just really wants it to be any other Peter. Her hopes are up; it's weird-looking on her. She's like how Carrie Mathison wants to fix 9/11 with a time machine, only instead of the usual one it's Kalinda's personal one.
Peter: "No, I am just some guy."
Kalinda: "Really? Because I'm pretty sure you knocked up Marilyn Garbanza."
Peter: "I wish! But no. I was totally planning to cheat on my wife with her, but then she peaced."
Kalinda: "Peaced? Oh no. Details."
Peter: "All I know is she had to go back to Springfield, for work she said. For Peter she said, and that she was staying at the Sheraton in Springfield, and... Holy shit, is this about the Governor?"
Kalinda: "No. Bye."
She doesn't even bother to vanish properly, just Charlie Browns off down the sidewalk with her shoulders particularly shrugged, wondering if she's permanently off her game now and can't even manage some secret courtly knightship on Alicia's behalf without some dumb Ethics lady fucking it all up.
MUSICOLOGISTS
Both teams on the Rowby case bring in a Musicologist to analyze the two tracks. They are ivory tower bitches to each other, bringing in professional slights and the narcissism of small differences, and it's all the more annoying for being so academe-realistic.
Bro: "The song's melodic line forces me to hear the lyrics in a new context, as misogynistic and nihilistic."
Chick: "The words haven't changed though, so it's not parody. I could steal your thriller novel, slap a romance cover on it, call it a joke about love."
Bro: "Or you could suck my musicology dick!"
Chick: "Like that's not exactly how you became Dean!"
