Cut back and forth for twenty minutes between Niki, sad in bed, and D.L., frustrated on the couch. She eventually gets up to put her wedding ring back on (while he contemplates his), and then finally gets up and tells him to come to bed. Conjugal visit, y'all, what what?
Koechnot has brought Hiro and Ando to a backroom poker game, where Ando is playing with Koechnot, some grimy hipster in a red Adidas tracksuit, and a terrifying, yellow-haired troll of a Vegas cliché who seriously never got the memo about sunscreen. We determine via subtitle that Hiro wants to get back to the quest, but that Koechnot is making Ando play until he (and Hiro) can win back all the money Koechnot lost to them. Ando tells Hiro to give the other players good cards, "but not too good." Leathertroll orders Ando back to the table, dealing a new hand while making lazily offensive inquiries about Ando's "system": "Some ancient Oriental voodoo?" Ando calmly replies that he has no system: "Japanese people very lucky." Leathertroll threatens, "Japanese people better run out of luck soon. I'm starting to think I'm getting hustled." Koechnot assures him that it's just a friendly game, and Ando agrees: "No hustle. Only good fortune." Whereupon, of course, Hiro stops time, sorts out everyone's hands, and starts it up again. Ando spreads his cards to find a 10-high straight flush. This isn't Celebrity Poker Showdown, so I'll just say that play continues, Ando makes a suspiciously high bet, and Hiro -- in shock -- knocks over a cart of something and falls in the clatter. His head pops up from under the table: "Sorry! Beg pardon!" Ando ducks down with him for a second -- to help Hiro pick up what he knocked over, I think -- and sees that Leathertroll has a gun under the table, pointed straight at him. He stands up and says that he and Hiro "must use bathroom." "Now?" whines Tracksuit. "We're in the middle of a hand." Ando says he's drunk too much beer. "You guys go to the bathroom together?" squints Leathertroll. Ando: "Yes. It is how we roll."
