Episode 84

Rajiv is feeling at home in his Coffee Shop, though it is roofless.  Magnus Aversson picks up a piece of rhubarb pie that managed to make it through the plane crash and a stint as a pub.  On her way to work, Doris, the police department secretary, stops to pick up coffee from Rajiv for the detectives and officers.  Rajiv and Magnus notice that Doris keeps repeating herself, though she doesn't seem to notice.  Doris keeps repeating herself, though she doesn't seem to notice.  She becomes upset when she blacks out for a moment, and she hurries home, wondering what's wrong.

A man prays over his dead mother's grave, letting her know that times are hard without her.  Another man prays over a guy named Hank's grave, asking for spiritual insight into the location of the garage door keys.  Yet another man is waiting for the 4:30 flash mob to begin.  The original man puts flowers on his mother's grave.  A ghostly woman passes through all of them.

Doris makes it home only to find H.A.L., whom she thought she had sealed up in Lieutenant Bustybottom's old Atari laptop, lounging in a chair.  Doris learns through creative grilling of the megalomaniacal computer hologram that there is someone who could seal up H.A.L.: an engineer from CalTech named Johnson.  H.A.L. still has control over Doris' neural net and inflicts her with pain and a bad tin foil allergy.  She fights through--anything to stop H.A.L.!

McShane is still trying to get out of Solomon's River General Hospital while avoiding Joey the Bookie.  McShane encounters dead ends and closets with people lurking in them, but not an exit.
