After a visit from Linden and Holder, Darren Richmond agrees to meet with Chief Nicole to discuss getting her endorsement and/or getting them back into the casino to investigate the Tenth Floor situation. What Chief Nicole wants is tax-exempt status for anything she builds, even outside the rez, and what she doesn't want is to hear any of his mess about Sarah Linden or Rosie Larsen. The meeting goes poorly, so Gwen calls the Mayor to work against his Chief Nicole alliance from the other end, revealing that he was one of the guys that raped her back when her dad was selling her out for political favors as a kid.
Mitch finally makes it to David Rainer's house, played by the awesome Jonathan Cake, but after a long conversation about her tells Mitch that Rosie was planning to run away that night she died. It's immediately apparent he doesn't know Rosie's dead, but takes much longer before it becomes clear he still doesn't knows she's his daughter. Mitch lets him stay ignorant on both counts, and thinks about coming home, but Stan's got stuff of his own to deal with and doesn't really feel like chatting with her about this stuff.
What's going on with Stan is that Tommy -- the older shitty one, with the eyebrows -- has been stomping baby birds to death. Stan takes the measured approach of slapping the hell out of Tommy, I guess in the hopes of provoking a psychotic break right there, but in the end their family only grows closer. Stan Larsen's Father of the Year record continues unchallenged.
The Lieutenant tells Holder that, after Linden was fired, all their evidence has been sent to County -- who somehow can't find it either -- so good ol' Stephen tosses Gil's apartment and then gets in his face in a truly menacing manner. After some sweet emotional interfacing (and the heartbreaking reveal that Sarah's just living in her car now) Linden and Holder locate the tenth floor key in an old storage locker of Gil's and arrange a sort of Ocean's Eleven heist that, predictably enough, is fucked from go.
While Holder makes a fabulous ass of himself on the casino floor, Sarah sneaks up to the construction site, and uses her intuitive ghost-whispering powers to figure out almost the whole thing: Rosie went up to the tenth-floor balcony to see Seattle for the last time and say goodbye before running away, and ended up witness to a secret meeting between -- Ames? Chief Nicole? Tom Drexler? The Mayor? -- which is why and how she ended up dead. But just as Sarah's about to retrieve evidence about who was actually involved, she ends up knocked out, and once again finds herself kidnapped by savage Indians.
Week: Sarah gets to lose her shit in a whole new location, the Waterfront Projects and Mayoral Race storylines "heat" "up," and Terry Marek the Crystal Goblet Prostitute gives Stan Larsen some advice on making good choices.
