Plot: Miranda (Lesley Manville), Andrea (Caroline Dhavernas) and Wilson (Brian d’Arcy James) are all shocked to find out that Bob was arrested for murder. Andrea and Miranda both leave to follow Bob. Wilson notes that they can since Bob had another client coming in after Steve Carell and they need someone here to talk to him. Andrea says that Wilson could take to him, she needs to sort this out. Wilson says it can’t happen, under any circumstances he doesn’t want to meet Bob’s client. Miranda says it could only be time for him to take on extra responsibilities and they leave. Wilson chases them in the parking lot. He refuses to meet with Bob’s client again. Miranda asks him why he feels this way and he says he’s a Jew and a Democrat, he doesn’t want to meet Mel Gibson alone. 

Det. Debra Dexter (Jennifer Carpenter) is interrogating Bob (Rainn Wilson) about Mark’s murder. He claims he has nothing to do with it. Ste starts explaining why she has good reasons to believe he killed him, but he interrupts her again. He repeats her name over and over again, it rings a bell, but he can’t quite put the finger why her names means something to her. She starts to swear to establish her authority and he interrupts her again, thinking he has an answer, but he can’t remember where he saw her. She says she gets that a lot and restarts her explanations. They discovered he owed Mark a substantial amount of money and he never paid him back entirely. They found a recording of Bob saying his life would be easier if Mark was dead. They found a shirt stained with Mark’s blood in his trash can and the initials B.H. were written in blood next to his corpse. Bob tries to joke, saying a murderer would never write his initials next to his victim, but Debra is having none of it. She says things look bad for him and he should consider cooperating, because right now, he’s acting like a douche and she doesn’t like douches.

Wilson called Desmond (Chris Colfer) to replace him while Bob is gone, but really, he just wanted some company if things degenerate between him and Mel Gibson. Speaking of Gibson, he’s knocking on the door and Wilson lets him in. Wilson stumbles on his words and is clumsy overall. Mel asks him where Bob is, because he doesn’t like Wilson. Wilson asks if it’s because he’s a Jew and Mel doesn’t understand why he would say that. He regretted what he said and he’s willing to leave that behind. Desmond joins them in the conference room and he offers Mel a refreshment, but all they have has alcohol, so Wilson politely declines on his behalf. Mel Gibson is mad at Wilson because he can make his own decision. He thinks Wilson came in this meeting in bad faith and he’s having none of it, he wants to see Bob now, but Wilson reminds him that Bob is unavailable at the moment. Mel can’t believe they chose him to replace Bob, he looks out of place and incompetent, he likes the other kid better, speaking of Desmond. Wilson begs him to give him a second chance and Mel agrees, reluctantly. 

He presents Mel with his proposed role of Robert Finlay, crooked and corrupt leader in How to Survive in Hell. The only problem is that Robert is wheelchair-bound. Mel asks Wilson if he thinks he’s some kind of weakling to play a wheelchair bound character. He was William Wallace, he was Mad Max, he isn’t no wheelchair bound weakling. He says he’s disappointed in them and he strongly disagrees with the casting. He gets up and raises his hands and Wilson is sure he’s about to hit him, so he runs away. Mel was simply stretching and yawning and he can’t see Wilson anymore. On his way out, he tells Desmond that the meeting was weird, but he and Bob go a long way, so he’s going to think about it. He says he doesn’t want to see Wilson again, he’s useless and a weirdo. Desmond takes good note of his complaint and laughs as he sees Wilson hiding under his desk. 

Miranda and Andrea are finally able to talk to Bob through a glass with a phone. Miranda asks Andrea to talk to him, she doesn’t want to touch the phone, it’s probably dirty and she doesn’t know how to use a phone with a chord. Andrea picks it up and waits for Bob to arrive, saying Miranda is doofus, even a toddler knows how to answer the phone. When Bob arrives, Miranda gets emotional and is on the verge of crying. She gets closer to the phone to ask Andrea to tell Bob that prison isn’t doing him any good, he looks dirty. He should shave, it would look better. Andrea says that Bob has always looked like that and Miranda says she never noticed. He has such a unique charisma that she didn’t notice how dirty and unclean he looks. Andrea decides to not tell him that and instead asks him how he’s doing. He says he has seen better days and his legal case doesn’t look too good. He gave a lot of money to Mark, so he can’t pay a lawyer. He isn’t going to lie, he used to act tough and confident, but he’s scarred right now. Andrea asks him if he really did it and Bob takes it personally. He asks how she could ask that question to him, his friends of many years. He slams the phone down and leaves. Miranda tries to give him fashion and beauty advice through the glass, but it’s too late now.
