When Rajiv is alone again, a slick mobster offers to sell Rajiv "premium" coffee at twice the regular price because it includes "insurance"--kneecap insurance, and building-burning-down insurance. The mobster and his friend, "Pennsylvania Phil," will be back for Rajiv's answer.
A burglar breaks into a bank "Mission Impossible"-style and steals...something...from Rajiv's safe deposit box.
The defendant's lawyer goes to Solomon's River General Hospital to find it quite devoid of workers. Jervis enters in a cloud of weed, looking for a splint for Mousy Librarian (who had been in the caves with Jervis) and the lawyer is looking for Dr. Scarlett, "the most bribable doctor in town." While figuring out what to do, they accidentally activate H.A.L.--the Heuristic Algorithmic Letch--a hologram modeled after Dr. Scarlett. H.A.L. indicates that Dr. Scarlett is...unavailable. The lawyer requests a sample of Magnus Aversson's blood which requires a thumbprint, and she gets Jervis to leave it for her, meaning Jervis is now the only one who can reach through a force field to get the vial. Jervis finally remembers Mousy is in a cave with a hurt leg and the lawyer offers to help him with the splint if he'll grab Magnus' blood for her. Inconveniently, Magnus' granddaughter, Cilantro, enters and is quite suspicious...so the lawyer punches her, Mayor-style.
- Will the lawyer be able to frame Magnus to free Jerome Tallender, rhymes with calendar?
- Will Rajiv pay protection money to the mob, or will he be kneecapped by Pennsylvania Phil?
- What was stolen from Rajiv's safe deposit box, and who stole it?
- Will Jervis find his way back to the caves to help Mousy Librarian before or after the explosion they don't know about?
- Will anyone investigate what happened to the hospital staff?
