Moments later, King hears a knocking on his door. Sam pushes it open with the scythe, and King nervously tries to talk them out of sending him back to Hell. He says he was trying to make the world a better place and even despairs that he has children to think of -- hundreds of them! He backs up to the window, and Andi (still outside on her stakeout) gets a front-row view of his beheading by scythe. She peels out in horror.
Back inside, the now-headless body of King gets up and waves a golf club around while the head directs him. The prop comedy is broken up when Sam impales King with the scythe. King's still-talking head remains, and he uses his last moments on earth to ask, "How do I look?" Sam and JBL discuss what they'll have for lunch as they leave, not realizing that King's hand is skittering behind them.
Back at The Bench, a coworker (Dawn from The Office UK!) approaches as Ben surveys his list. He tries to deflect her attention, but she grabs the list, reads it, and thinks it's lovely. She encourages him that he should hold fast to his dreams, then quips that she's almost none of the things on the list. Ben stares at her dreamily, and I suspect we'll be seeing more of her.
In the break room, a flower-bearing Sam sneaks up on Andi as she frets over some papers. He whispers into her ear, which she responds to with a wallop to the eye and a choke of the neck. She tells him she saw him behead King. He tries to weasel out of explaining the mess and finally admits that he simply can't tell her the truth. She threatens to call the police, but he stalls and begs for another day to sort this mess out. She gives him 24 hours.
Sam drops off the vessel at the DMV, with a note attached, and Gladys is none too happy about it. Sam explains that he needs to talk to WiseGuy, and all he could think to do was leave a note. Gladys, non-plussed as ever, lets it pass with a resigned "Whatever." Oh, Gladys, our time with you is never long enough!
Sam exits the DMV door yet ends up in a porn store. WiseGuy is there -- talk about instant gratification. He informs Sam part of the soul was missing, grabbing Sam's limp wrist to demonstrate. A clerk tells WiseGuy to "get [his] jollies off" somewhere else, so WiseGuy walks over and incapacitates the guy with a single touch of his finger. Sam freaks out that the clerk might be dead, but the usually chatty WiseGuy is all business, reminding Sam that King is still out there. And why are we in this porn shop, you might wonder? Because there is CCTV footage of King stocking up there a few hours earlier. And here I thought WiseGuy was just there for the articles... WiseGuy warns Sam that King can multiply like a starfish and bids Sam to finish off this "hand" job (har har).
