Back at the restaurant, where I totally want to have a meal right now, Mr. Martin finally arrives. He totally recognizes Bride and makes reference to the fact that she used to be a regular customer. "Will Dr. Parslow be joining you?" asks Mr. Martin. "Dr. Parslow?" says Bride, getting pink-cheeked at the mention of this doctor's name. Mr. Martin is all, "Are you feeling all right?" because Bride is clearly out of her mind. Bride admits, amidst nervous chuckles, to having lost her memory, and wants to know more about this Dr. Parslow. Mr. Martin tells her that she and Dr. Parslow used to come to this restaurant together all the time, until recently. In fact, Mr. Martin thinks it might be a good idea to give Dr. Parslow a call. "But he's not my husband," says Bride. "But he's a doctor," insists Mr. Martin.
Back at the Palmer Hotel, everyone lies in wait for LittleTerrorBrother to enter the building. The various agents clear out of his hotel room and take their positions out of sight in the adjoining rooms. Operation Vagina is on. Everyone waits for LTB to enter his room so that Faux-licity can visit. While they wait, Kiefer asks Nina what she's "holding back" from Kiefer. Nina fesses up to Bride confronting her about her affair with Kiefer. "Did you tell her that it was over?" asks Kiefer. Oh, the layers of meaning in that question! Nina is all, "Of course!" Kiefer regrets never telling Bride himself, and doesn't get mad at Nina. Kiefer hears a crackle from a walkie-talkie. LittleTerrorBrother has entered the building. He'll be there by the end of this next commercial break…I mean, "in the next two to three minutes." The time is 4:35:06 PM.
The time is 4:39:17 PM. Klockwise from the top left, LittleTerrorBrother enters his room, Kiefer and Nina watch him on the KieferKam, and Faux-licity gets ready "backstage." LittleTerrorBrother gets settled in his suite, taking all this stuff out of his pockets like his cell and TerrorPalmPilot…but not his wallet. Nina and Kiefer watch as he takes off his jacket and throws it on the bed. Kiefer picks up a big honking walkie-talkie and bellows, "Let Faux-licity know that the wallet is either in his pants or in the jacket on the bed!" Of course she's gotta plant something near his privates or on a bed. It's Operation Vagina. Nina watches grimly as LittleTerrorBrother plays with his lustrous hair and drinks mineral water in preparation for his TerrorTryst. But then all of a sudden, it's Faux-licity's big acting moment. She steps off the elevator and takes a big deep breath. Standing at the door, she works up the nerve to knock for, like, forty-five minutes, and when she does, she bugs her eyes out like Bride of Frankenstein. Oh, and then she unbuttons her blouse and practices some sexually voracious facial expressions to herself outside while LittleTerrorBrother takes his sweet time getting the door.
