Bennet's face crumples in on itself, and he immediately asks his wife if she knows where Claire is and why he can't remember anything, and she says she doesn't and that he told her he was protecting their daughter. "You said you sent her away so that she'd be safe," she says. "And that if you went after her, I should give you this." She pulls out a piece of paper that has "Claire's with friends, don't go after her" written on it in his own handwriting. There's a knock at the door, and Bennet tells his wife that they can't let anyone know that they're not clueless about Claire. "Don't worry," she says with a wry smile. "I know how to play dumb." Bennet gets tears in his eyes and says, "I could never love you enough." Awesome. "You do fine," she says. Doubly awesome.
Bennet goes to get the door, and it's Missy. She twits that she's surprised to hear Bennet listening to opera as she always thought of him more as a John Denver fan. Is that a thinly veiled attempt to accuse Bennet of being a cokehead? She informs him that Isaac called Primatech looking for him and she chatted with him for a bit. "Apparently, he's got himself a dead girlfriend." Well, ex-girlfriend, actually, but that's neither here nor there. Bennet says that he can't handle Isaac right now and that he needs to be with his family. Missy's like, uh, does this sound like I'm making a request? BECAUSE I'M NOT. Get your ass out of this hotel room and onto a plane pronto, bucko.
Bennet says he'll get his things together, and he goes to shut the door on her, but she sticks her shiny boot in the way and stops it. She saunters in, and we see that she's wearing a kicky little plaid mini-skirt and leather wrist band, and she looks like ten pounds of trouble in a three pound bag. She smirks at Mrs. Bennet, who just says, "Lemme guess: another paper emergency?" The way she says it makes it sound as ridiculous as you'd think it would. "Huge mix-up in Fresno," says Missy, even though she's not even remotely attempting to dress in a business-like fashion and instead looks more like a naughty babysitter who intends to lick Bennet all over while wearing frilly panties, so I don't know why ANY wife would buy her as a business associate, like, AT ALL. Missy goes on to say that she's sorry for stealing her husband, he's just the best guy they've got in a pinch. Then she says, "I like your hair," and when I heard her say this the first time, I remember thinking, "What the fuck is she talking about? And put on some long pants and proper shoes!" I mean, really. Mrs. Bennet's supposedly had her memories erased, dude, but she hasn't had her HO RADAR turned off. Wear some tights or something! You're not at a damn Van Halen concert and nobody's hot for teacher!
