Episode Report Card Couch Baron: B+ | 1 USERS: B+ YOU GRADE IT Mac's Daddy...

Sheriff's office. Keith is packing up his stuff when a panicked woman rushes in and claims that her teenaged daughter is missing. Fuckface and Keith exchange a wary look. As Scott Wolf would say, hug it out, you two.
Keith unpacks his stuff. Fuckface gives him some shit, but they're interrupted by the speaking deputy from the pilot, who rushes in and tells them that the lab reported that the writing on the girl's hand was the phone number of the bartender from Body Shots. Ostensibly recalling that the bartender expressed an interest in Veronica, Keith frantically calls her, both from the office and from his car. In the second message, he says he's tracking her phone. He pulls up to some warehouse-looking type place and knocks on one of the doors. There's music coming from within, but no one answers. He draws his gun, goes to another door, and kicks it in, to find...Leo's band. Ha! That was funny. But what's even more of a joke is that Leo is the drummer. There are some lessons in life that will never stop serving you well, and chief among them is the certain fact that drummers are losers. Keith babbles in relief, and then takes in Leo, asking of him and Veronica, "You two know each other?" Un! Comfortable! Before Keith can think of crashing a cymbal on Leo's head, however, he notices the soundproofing the band put on the walls, and gets an idea. He asks one of the band members if he'll take Veronica back to the sheriff's office. The answer of "Yeah" marks the easiest earning of an SAG card in history. Keith asks Leo if he has his gun, and the answer is yes...
...and they're back at Trufflehunter's store, which is closed on the weekends. Keith notes that that fits with the killer's MO of holding the girls for forty-eight hours. He tells Leo to keep a lookout for the guy, and breaks in. Not so much with the warrant now, but I believe it's unnecessary if the cop has sufficient cause to think a crime is in progress. Inside, Keith busts into the studio. He crashes into a cymbal, which is obviously going to alert Trufflehunter, if he's there. Keith hears the girl's voice coming from a small kegerator. Hard to believe something so good could be used for such evil. Keith's attention is totally focused on breaking the lock on the kegerator with a crowbar. That would be sloppy police work even if Trufflehunter wasn't coming down the stairs in the background. Keith gets the girl out, but when her eyes focus behind Keith, she screams. Keith turns, and Trufflehunter is about to hit him with a heavy weapon of his own, but Leo comes out of nowhere and tackles Trufflehunter to the ground. Trufflehunter grips Leo's throat, but Keith draws his gun, and it's all over. Except for the part where Keith just gained a future son-in-law.
