Arlo and Marie: Season 2, Episode 7

WARNING: If you don't want to know what happened in this episode, don't read this photo recap! 

Wow. Last we saw Nick, he was under a pile of dead men that he created, crawling out. Someone must have called the cops, because they show up at the pad with their guns drawn. Nick handily knocks them both out, and steals their whip. Did this just become a Grand Theft Auto mission?

Happy shows Nick the way to the facility where Smoothie's keeping Hailey. Nick batters down the door for another B&E.

Unfortunately, Smoothie catches wise, and detonates the building before Nick can snoop around any further.

After escaping the burning building, Nick gets beaten up by a bunch of cops who just arrived at the scene. But not before he gets a call from Hailey telling him she no longer wants anything to do with him. Which one hurts more? You decide.

Merry takes an unscheduled meeting with the TV network exec (those are rare!) and tells him to cancel the Easter Special before catastrophe strikes. She says she has the blackmail tape of him committing heinous acts, and that she'll destroy it if he pulls the plug. He's not buying it.

Smoothie takes Hailey to his backwoods hometown, and gets her fed at a diner. While he goes into the bathroom to take a leak, Hailey overhears the two men sitting next to her discussing someone who could definitely have been Smoothie 30 years ago. They say that, when he was a kid, he castrated himself and put his manhood in a jar for all the Science Fair attendees to see. Just for the heck of it. Yup, sounds like Smoothie.

In the bathroom, Smoothie is approached by Orcus. Well, not approached so much as addressed through the glory hole. Orcus is concerned that Hailey won't be ready to kill Sonny Shine on live television during the Easter special — so that's what this is all about. Smoothie says she will be, and they leave it at that. Then, the flush.

And in the hoosegow, the whole precinct plays whack-a-mole with Nick Sax, one of their ex-brothers.

Smoothie takes Hailey back to his childhood home, where his adoptive mother is in the middle of an episode (and not of TV). She hasn't seen him with his pink eye yet, so it's startling to say the least.

Smoothie then takes Hailey up to his old room where she's to stay until further notice. But she grows restless: She wants to put an end to Sonny's reign of terror now, by getting him in jail. Smoothie says slow down, child. If he lets her in with Sunny alone, she might never come back out. And if she does, it'll be irrevocably changed. So this sicko is having some second thoughts.

Merry drops in at the last crime scene, and uses her wiles to seduce the presiding cop. Merry wants to see Nick Sax set free, and this one can help her get there.

At the Shine estate, Orcus is playing OBGYN with Amanda and her half-Wishee child. He's practically gushing! But not gushing nearly as much as Amanda's broken water. It's time.

Back in his cell, the chief has dropped in, and shooed the rest of the cops out. She then Tasers Nick, bags his head, and takes him God knows where.

Happy_Gallery_208Recap_14
434650

After commisserating about their fraught childhoods, Smoothie and Hailey do a dance to some jukebox music for all the guests at this podunk restaurant to see! How many vomit bags does this place have to offer?

Happy_Gallery_208Recap_15

Merry springs Nick from jail, and together they link up to go find Amanda.

Sonny addresses the board, and expresses how happy (show title!) he is for the upcoming Eggtacular. They, in turn, tell him it's been canceled. What about the TV president, you ask?

Oh, he killed himself after his blackmail tape leaked.

Happy_Gallery_208Recap_18
434654

After their little Dirty Dancing number, Smoothie takes Hailey into the woods to meet his father. Smoothie told her that his father abused him and his mother, and that he needs to pay. So Smoothie brought him into the woods to kill him, and prove to Hailey that violent justice is sometimes called for. Only problem is, this guy isn't Smoothie's dad. He's just an unlucky SOB. After witnessing his death, Hailey is finally ready to kill Sonny Shine.

After Merry and Nick bust in to the hospital to try to spring Amanda free, they're ambushed by a naked Wishee. It engorges Nick, before Merry is able to toss Nick a shotgun and he blows his way out of the pink mess.

But don't worry, there's plenty more Wishee where that came from. Right, Amanda?
