Cut to the mini-golf course (sweet Jesus...), as Tim rage-putts and Shane tries to laugh at him in a way that won't get him kicked in the junk. Nancy observes from a safe distance on a bench, and Val returns with Icees. Nancy reaches for hers but Val pulls back and says Nancy owes her money: $119,000 worth, actually. Val's halfway between pissed off and bewildered that Nancy could have been married to Peter and not told her. Nancy takes the highly dubious position that she was going to tell Val and going to hand her the check, because see, it's right here, in Nancy's purse. They squabble over how to actually get Val the money, since the check is made out to Nancy, but Val's mostly just pissed that she put in eleven years married to that fucker, and Nancy gets the goldmine after one drunken weekend in Vegas (at least, that's how Nancy's telling it). Val asks if Nancy was really going to give her the money anyway, and Nancy's like, "I was mighta gonna." Back on the mini-links, Shane shoots a hole in one and celebrates. "Your kid's annoying," Val truths. "Oh, glass house dwelling person," Nancy snaps back. Val's like, "Oh yeah," and agrees to put down her metaphorical "stone." They eventually make up over Icees and the good and bad ways they are and aren't getting fucked. God, these two. They should have their own show. Oh wait...
That night, Nancy's playing Wii Tennis when Doug comes by all freaked out. Seems Agrestic is checking their books tomorrow -- as any sane person might expect a town about to be incorporated to do, Doug -- and he needs the highly convenient sum of $100,000. He starts to flip out about going to prison, lamenting that he's too long to fit on the beds there and there's absolutely no sushi. "Unless you count dick." HA! Hey, "eat me raw" had to originate someplace. Nancy asks the rather salient question of why it's $100,000 rather than the $50,000 they had initially "borrowed." Turns out Doug got so enamored with the profit they were sure to turn that he took out another 50K and got laser eye surgery. "It's a miracle, Nance," he enthuses. "Now I can see the small print on prescription bottles." This leads to a typically Doug-ian rant on Big Pharma, leading Nancy to ask if he's on some Big Pharma right now. She eases his mind by saying she has access to some money (oh, sweetie, no), and sends him upstairs to bathe with Val's effervescent bath bomb. Of sure, just throw everything you and Val ever shared away, Nancy.
