News report. Mmm, mesquite! Shane's watching it on a big TV in the rec centre. Andy, Silas, and Tara head out to try to make some sales as Doug wanders the aisles of cots, accompanying his inappropriate though Greek chorus-ish crooning on his banjo. Who knew Doug had such great fingering? I mean, other than Celia.
Conrad's tuning in the news on a radio at the grow house when Nancy enters, asking with mild passive-aggression whether his phone is broken. Conrad tells her how he was trying to pack up. Nancy tells him how crazy it was out there. He asks whether she should even be there, and she admits that she had to sneak under a barricade, but promised to go back for Silas's strain. She kind of loiters in the doorway as she pointedly says that she wanted to check and see if there was anything else she could take with her, but Conrad either misses her meaning or ignores it, handing her a garbage bag and telling her to grab what she can -- and not to dole it out too quickly, because it's probably all the product she'll have for a while. "Wildfires," he adds, sighing. "Guillermo fires," Nancy corrects him absently. This is evidently the first Conrad's heard of the fire's actual cause, and Nancy says she doesn't think he intended the fires to spread so far. Conrad says something to the effect that you can't expect better when you make a deal with the devil, but he can't really back it up with much passion at the moment. "Fire, fire on the mountain," quotes Nancy. Conrad looks at her blankly. Nancy: "Grateful Dead?" Uh, no, the reference isn't in Conrad's pop-cultural arsenal because he isn't white. Or a tool. However, this instance of his and Nancy's lack of commonality moves him to ask whether she can cook a turkey. Amused by the out-of-left-field nature of the question, Nancy says she can buy a turkey. Conrad tells her about Heylia's great turkey, which she deep-fries. Nancy nicely says she probably wouldn't go that way, but suggests that she could try cooking a turkey in the microwave. Jesus, you people. Just go out for dinner, who cares! Finally, Conrad squats on the floor with Nancy and asks, "What are you gonna do? If it all burns down -- your house, your suburb." Nancy takes a long moment, and then smiles sadly: "I guess I'd have to go." You might as well -- property values would be in the shitter even if you didn't.
