Isaac says that, even if he wanted to, he couldn't finish it, because he's out of drugs and he's also out of money to buy drugs. Peter asks if he can't just finish it without shooting up and Isaac just starts to ask Peter for money. "We can call it a commission," he says, acting all shifty and druggie again. Peter just sighs and looks back at the blank corner. He concentrates on it and suddenly, there are subtle flashes on the canvas and the painting starts to appear finished to him. He realizes that he can finish the painting. He grabs some paints and a brush. Isaac asks if he can paint, and Peter says he can't. He takes off his sweater and damn, if his floopy bangs aren't all sorts of adorable when tousled. Yummy. He goes on to say that he drew the future the other day after meeting Isaac and what he drew came true. Peter looks at the canvas and closes his eyes. As Isaac watches, Peter's demeanor changes and he grows calm. His eyes slowly open, revealing that same white film that Isaac gets when he's having visions. Peter "looks" at the canvas and starts to paint with his left hand, which is a nice touch, considering that Peter is actually right-handed and Isaac is left-handed.
Commercials. Normally, I think Tony Scott's kind of an irritating director (Domino, anyone?) but this new Déjà Vu movie looks all sorts of fun...
After the break, Claire goes to visit Jock the Rapist. She tells him that what he tried to do to her was wrong, but what she tried to do to him was wrong too and she's sorry. She says that everyone deserves a "do-over" at least once in their lives. Jock just looks at her. "I don't know you," he says blankly. "Who are you?" Claire tells him her name, but he doesn't even know his own name. Hm. So he has no idea who he is or what he's done. Not a terrible punishment, for sure. I'd still rather he was dead, but that's just me. I'm a vengeful bitch.
Across the country in Vegas, Niki returns home from her special assignment and finds the house filled with a bunch of men in suits. She panics and starts running around looking for Micah. She finds him in the kitchen with Texas Tina and some more suits. Texas Tina tells her that the suits are looking for Niki's ex, D.L. (is that the guy who keeps wiping people's minds?) and that she told them Niki hasn't seen him in months. One of the suits shows Niki a picture of a bald black man with a faint goatee and asks if that's her husband. No, dummy! That's Deep Cleaner! Okay, okay. It's not. Deep Cleaner and D.L. are two different actors. But the only reason I know that is because I recognize Leonard Roberts and I know he's playing Niki's husband, D.L. If I didn't, I'd probably think for a minute that the guy in the picture was, indeed, Deep Cleaner. And, no, it's not because I think all extremely attractive bald black men look alike. That's just stupid. I do, however, think all blonde cheerleaders look alike, which is why I wish Odessa High School would start enrolling some goddamned brunettes and redheads already. At any rate, D.L. and Deep Cleaner? Not the same man. So be quiet about it. And don't email me. I will cut you.
