Marcie debated evading a police car and explained her cockamamie scheme to Tommy, who fiddled with his bottle in the backseat and seemed unfazed. She pulled over and was greeted by a flashlight-wielding officer. Marcie, er, Penny, chattered on as the officer checked out her identification. "Mrs. Shaw, what kind of a snow job are you trying to pull here?" he asked, referring to the fact that her license said she's 29. "You don't look a day over 23," he teased, but when she continued her nervous chatter, he asked her to step out of the car and perform a sobriety test. The officer informed her that she was driving too slow and that's why he pulled her over. Marcie thanked him for looking out for her, then flubbed and called Aaron Tommy. The cop asked what she just said. Marcie explained that Tommy was his middle name, and that she was just really tired. He told her to get some shuteye and shoved off, much to Marcie's relief. "Score one for Penny and Aaron Shaw," she cheered.

Jessica found Nash picking up some of Jared's things and told him not to play manservant. Jessica ranted about Jared taking over 51 percent of their lives. Just because her alter ego started this mess doesn't mean they have to live with it, she said. Meanwhile, Natalie and Cristian watched Jared and Sarah play tonsil hockey at the bar. Cristian pulled Jared off of Sarah, and Natalie warned Sarah that Jared is the scoundrel who tried to kiss her last week. Natalie told Sarah that he was just using her to get to Natalie. Jared asked Sarah if he came on too strong, but she didn't have any complaints. Natalie explained that Jared blackmailed her into giving him a job. Cristian pointed out that Sarah might have a habit of picking up bad guys. That only egged Sarah on — she asked Jared to dinner at the Palace. "It's a date," he told her. Sarah told Cristian and Natalie that she likes him because he goes after what he wants, unlike some people who just wait for things to happen to them; she then hair-tossed her way out the door, leaving Cris and Nat to sit around and drink beers. When Jared arrived home, Jessica and Nash were all smiles, even offering Jared the master bedroom. Jared seemed sufficiently thrown by their behavior and headed to the bedroom. "He is not gonna know what hit him," Jessica snickered.

PARIS, TEXAS, a subtitle told us. One of Viki's regulars came in to the Bonjour Café and was treated to some primo service by Viki the waitress. A grumpy cook told Viki he'd like to see a little less talking and a little more working. It was clear that this was no regular roadside establishment when Viki asked what was taking so long with that goat cheese quesadilla. "Two months earlier," another subtitle told us as Viki walked into the café on a rainy night. A friendly waitress noted that they were short-staffed before offering her a piece of pie. She asked why Viki was dressed up, and Viki explained that she was at a funeral. Viki recalled sitting in the airport wondering what to do and buying that one-way ticket to anywhere. The next flight was going to Tulsa, the clerk told her, so Viki took the ticket. She explained that she got to Tulsa, rented a car and drove south. There are worse places to end up on a rainy night, the waitress pointed out. Moe told Noelle to get back to work. Gigi's not coming in today, the cook told her, while Viki thought back to Dorian asking her what she's going to do with the rest of her life. "How about me?" she said, looking at Noelle and the cook. "What would I want with a Yankee waitress?" he asked Viki, pointing out that her hands looked like they'd never done a "lick of hard work." But she convinced him that she'd make it worth his while. He handed her a waitress uniform, then chuckled to himself. Viki suited up and got ready for the "rough-and-tumble types" in section two. Viki's first customer was the same guy she was serving two months later. Viki marveled at how fast the time had gone by.

John informed Michael that he and Todd were going to work together to find Marcie before Ramsey does. Michael didn't seem thrilled. John explained that he didn't agree with Ramsey's methods. Ramsey arrived and told them to get lost and mind their own business. Outside Ron's, Michael told the guys that if they were taking the search into their own hands, he wanted in. John agreed, but warned Michael to back off when he tells him. This is your show, Todd told John.
