First things first: we are treated to some intro shot slow-mo, which is always nice. Henry's grieving the death of his doctor buddy, and he blames Edward, big-time, who doesn't outright deny killing him, but he does console Henry by assuring him that it's his own stupid fault his friend was killed.
On the home front, Edward has to take Henry's daughter dress shopping, but unfortunately we don't get to see the trip, which was probably hilarious. Also hilarious? The dress Edward bought the kid was neon pink and decidedly "hoochie" by Angie's standards, especially considering its whopping $2,000 price tag. And worst of all, the fridge at Spivey Manor is on the fritz! Think of all the crappy domestic beer that is now room temperature crappy domestic beer! The horror! But don't worry, Angie doesn't get too upset because her robot settings are still firmly set to "comply."
On the Janus front, Henry gets a crash course in base-jumping on his way to Mexico to nab a black market arms dealer. The arms dealer loves the new Edward, but that doesn't stop him from stealing his watch and holding him in sniper crosshairs for a $10 million ransom. Edward gets wise to the plan, somehow, and takes off running, defeating his foes with an improvised liter soda bottle bomb. That all proves to be unnecessary, however, because Henry's screw-up is Edward's ass-saver when the arms dealer finds out the MI-6 sting Henry was blabbing about earlier checked out, and the ransom is called off. So Henry did his one thing right this episode. And, as it is in all spy shows, Mexico is bright yellow. Seriously, it's something in the air there or something.
While that caper's ensuing, Angie advises Tom's wife to surprise her husband on his business trip, which is the worst advice ever as Tom/Raymond is the last person on earth you want to surprise. That whole thing goes terribly, and since Tom/Raymond's wife is slightly less stupid than Angie, she hires a private investigator to shed some light on the discrepancies in Tom's business trip stories. So yeah. That guy's gonna die.
Janus has also sent the pretend F.B.I. out to test Henry's loyalty, which he fails miserably. Fortunately Henry's sexy shrink shows up and shoots the agent dead in the nick of time, which means Henry has a new friend! A new lady friend, to be exact. Mee-ow!

Want more? The full recap starts right below! Hospital hallway. Henry is running the hell outside (in slow-motion, awesomely) after seeing the bloody corpse of his doctor splayed out on the ground. He's understandably freaked out, so he leaves Edward a mean voicemail about it, calling him all kinds of names like "monster" and "I'm going to kill the monster" and "you're the worst" and whatnot. It all sounds awfully foolish, but I'm pretty sure Edward won't be too bothered by it, considering it would be impossible for Henry to kill Edward without also killing Henry.Back at Spivey Manor, probably the morning, Henry is watching Edward's rebuttal video. Edward tells Henry that the doctor was killed because Henry exposed him to sensitive information, and that, for the millionth time, Henry can't talk about Janus to anyone. For realsies. No take-backs.
That emotionless robot Angie comes in with the morning paper and an actual hint of emotion as she shows Henry the story of his doctor being murdered. Henry nervously asks if they know who did it, and Angie says not yet, but that some drugs were stolen so they think it may have been a robbery. Henry does not look put at ease in the slightest by this.
Dr. Skinner's office. Henry is doing his weekly dancing around the split spy personality thing by telling her he's very upset about a friend of his being murdered, and that he thinks he knows who did it, but if he tells the police what he knows his life will be ruined, but he can't tell her why and skirty skirty skirty. She's totally screaming "I know everything about Edward, you crackhead!" with her eyes, but also playing the dancing around Edward game. These scenes are so weird, and (spoiler alert!) I'm glad they're going to be over with after this episode. In other news, I'm jealous of Skinner's hot bangs.
Suburban drama at Spivey Manor. The fridge is busted, Ruthy needs a new dress for Ella Salzberg's bat mitzvah and Angie has to go have emergency girl talk with Tom's wife, so can you deal with first two crises, Henry? He absent-mindedly agrees, and I guess he's still in shock over the dead doctor because he's looking at all the fridge's contents laid out on the kitchen island like they're alien human pods. Which brings me to this: if the fridge is broken, do you really have to take everything out of it? Why? Will the repairman not fix it if your gross leftovers are inside? Wouldn't you just leave everything in it and not open the doors until it's fixed to preserve the perishables as long as possible, like you do in a power outage? I ask you this.
