Episode 41

We find Agent Blakely simmering in his own juices and calling for help after being mis-imprisoned by an overly helpful Irish janitor.  Blakely's boss questions the janitor and is directed to Blakely's cell.  Blakely is definitely not on the short list for Agent of the Month, and his boss actually leaves him in the cell to think about his commitment to the job.

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.

Dr. Scarlett and his nurse are in the deserted island's Hatch.  The nurse reports she has found a coconut phone, a bamboo car, and a boat with a hole in it.  Dr. Scarlett and the nurse discover a bed, a record player with 70s porn music, a disco light and a fog machine.  They're about to use all of them, when the nurse is struck in the neck with a dart and collapses.  Dr. Scarlett is also struck and collapses on his nurse's hip, possibly leaving a bruise.

  • Will Agent Blakely ever be invited to the office Christmas party again, or will he moulder in that cell forever?
  • Will Lakshmi get out of Rajiv's Coffee House basement?
  • Will Rajiv convince the pestersome Bill that conception had been inconceivable?
  • What, exactly, happened in Poughkeepsie?
  • If the island has been abandoned since the 70s, who has tranquilized Dr. Scarlett and his nurse?

Meanwhile, on a deserted island, Scarlett is given some bottled water by his nurse.  She found it next to the peanut butter in the pantry which is located next to the kitchen, just off the living room by the control room in the hatch.
