Rajiv visits Lachme in the coffee shop basement. Lakshmi finds out the attraction is mutual, from a Rajiv who is "sure" his wife is dead. Lakshmi's trust in him makes Rajiv feel guilty. She promises him jewels and princedom. She also promises that she will get out "one way or another." Rajiv manages to keep her locked in when he hears patrons upstairs.
Magnus enters Rajiv's with Bill, and reaffirms that the trap door is in the corner. Bill continues to insist he is Rajiv's son. Rajiv reveals that although he was "with" Bill's mother, he was impotent that night, and fatherhood was impossible. (Lakshmi is distantly worried about Rajiv's possible impotence.) Rajiv closes the shop at 4:00 sharp and kicks out Magnus and Bill.
