Around the town: Bobby has a new dumbass get rich quick scheme: blackmail! Norma's mom is in town, with her new husband, Ernie “The Professor” Niles, who it turns out Hank knows from prison. Jerry is doing a horrendous job as Ben’s lawyer, but at least the brothers can reminisce about Louise Dombrowski’s sexy flashlight dance. His day gets even worse when Pete, now in sicko mode, shows up to deliver a recorded extortion from Catherine. Lucy is back with her sister, Gwen, and Gwen’s baby, as the show keeps the “is Andy a father or not” plotline ricocheting between yes and no.

Meanwhile, Coop continues his prodigious taking L’s streak, failing to apprehend Leland at every opportunity. He’s changed his mind about Ben being the killer after Ben fails MIKE’s BOB detector test, but Harry insists on charging him based on the hard evidence, not the dreams. He gets a visit from Audrey who wants to ask if her father is the killer and assure Coop that she’s still a virgin, but is interrupted by Coop hearing that Maddy has been found on a beach, dead, wrapped in plastic.
