FIRST THINGS FIRST: WE ARE NOT FREE FROM FUCK MANSION!!!! I REPEAT, THERE HAS BEEN NO ESCAPE FROM FUCK MANSION!!!!!!!! GET BACK IN THERE JAMES HURLEY YOU POUTING LITTLE SLUT!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, Windom Earle decided just the one chess-based high-concept fucked up clue delivery system wasn’t enough, so he sent pieces of his dead wife’s wedding dress to a bunch of cities that make a big C on a map. He’s still doing the chess thing though, which Dale deals with by contracting Pete, who it turns out has secretly been a chess genius the whole time? But other important Earle news: he’s really into playing the flute now? And has decided to keep Leo as a boy pet. Also he’s giving some message to Donna, Audrey, and Shelley, and leaves a spooky death mask for Dale but that’s less important.

Meanwhile: Hank is getting sent back to the slammer for shooting Leo. Nadine invents polyamory when she walks in on Ed and Norma in the afterglow. The cops suspect Josie probably shot that guy. But Catherine seems ready to sell Josie to Thomas Echkardt as I guess a sex slave, in what continues to be the worst plotline on the show. And last but not least, Audrey, Jerry, and Jacoby bring Ben back from civil war land by having him win the civil war for the South ????????????
