"R.I.P."

Outside the morgue, Dalgety jumps when he sees an elevator arrive. He rushes into the morgue to warn the Scarecrow that someone is coming. She's too busy butchering her dead boyfriend to care, though. Dalgety, understandably freaked, shrieks, "What arre you doing?" Why, she's just looking for a little heroin-filled balloon that her worthless boyfriend misplaced in his colon. The sights and sounds of this little treasure hunt are more than a little graphic, and I don't know what shocks me more -- that, or the fact that the writers actually managed to catch me off-guard. Dalgety tries to pry the Scarecrow away from the body, and she claws at him with her bloody, gore-spattered hands. Sick! Dalgety wrestles her back to a wall and shouts at the unsuspecting orderly who opens the door to get security down there. Dalgety manages to pin the little junkie to the floor, as she whines all the while that she "need[s] it! " She needs a kick all right, but I'm thinking it's the kind delivered by a size nine, not heroin. Dalgety grits his teeth and bangs his head against the wall, silently chastising himself for getting sucked in by her sob story.

After commercials, Dalgety and the security guards are struggling to get the squealing, writhing heroin ho into a bed with restraints. Everyone else stands around looking horrified, since they've certainly never seen freaked-out addicts in a big-city emergency room before. Thor straps the leather restraints around her wrists as the Scarecrow wails, "I'm sick! Don't you know I'm sick!" Dalgety takes the words right out of my mouth and barks at her to shut up. Dalgety fills Thor in on the story, explaining that the Scarecrow's dead biker boyfriend was a mule. "A jackass!" she screams. Thor orders a nurse to give the freak some lorazipan, and the junkie says they should give her two milligrams. Thor says to make it one. Heh. The Scarecrow curses him out before turning her little forked tongue on Dalgety, calling him a sap and mocking him for thinking of himself as a hero. "Where'd you find this princess?" Thor asks. Dalgety, rolling his eyes at his own stupidity, says, "She found me."

Cut to Coones, standing shamefaced in the hallway in his sequins and feathers, while a cop stands to him reading the paper. Coones asks if he can go change his clothes in his office. The cop says no. He's a total dick, and tells Coones that he's going to "stand there until the doctor can check [him] out and [he's] going to keep [his] mouth shut about it."
