This morning Katchoo destroys her alarm clock by dashing it against the wall. She goes to check on Francine, but can't find her in bed. She's in the kitchen chowing down on anything she can find. She really wants liver. She still has amnesia. Katchoo answers the door bell and its the cops, who read a long list of charges filed by Freddy. When they haul her away, Francine's memory returns. Freddy tells her Katchoo tried to kill him, and Francine can't believe it.
Detective Walsh, homocide, interrogates Katchoo down at the station. He says she's there on felony charges, and he mentions that she looks familiar. She didn't put any prior arrests on her paperwork, and she's reluctant to answer any questions. Detective Walsh is forced to look it up on the computer. He finds that the FBI has a lock on her file, so he can't even access it. Meanwhile, in her cell, the jailkeeper tries to get cute with her, she's one third of his weight, but she gets him on the floor with a nose-lock that threatens to rip his face off. Only the return of Detective Walsh saves him. David Qin visits her in jail to comfort her.
Freddy's former secretary Margie helps Francine sneak into his office as revenge for firing her. Margie knows about some shady dealings of his, and she gets on his computer in a back room to obtain proof. Francine hears someone coming. It's Freddy! She goes out into his main office to confront him. To play for time, she lifts up her shirt to flash some tit. Freddy has a baby powder fetish, and she's wearing baby powder. Margie has the disk and slips out of the office, seen by Francine. She straddles Freddy and starts to make out, but then goes, "But first, if you don't drop all the charges against Katchoo, I'm going to give your Berger Foods file to the DA!" It spoils the whole moment. Freddy agrees to release Katchoo immediately.
Later at home, Francine and Katchoo and David reflect on their friendship over wine and a spaghetti dinner, together with Margie. The 90-issue epic love story that is Strangers in Paradise has only just begun.
