Miami, 1988. A big-time drug lord named Leo comes out of his bathroom to find his wife bound and gagged, and Tambi holding a gun to her head. When he reaches for his own gun in the bedstand, Tambi cocks the gun and pushes the barrel tighter against his wife's head. He puts his hands up and asks what she wants. "The same thing you want, Leo, respect." He asks how she got in his house. "I think you should use pros instead of relatives for bodyguards, they suck. Plus they're dead!"
He thinks she's lying and promises his men will carry her out in little bags. She shoots one of his ears off. "Call me a bitch again and I'll shoot the other one off." He growls, and she shoots the other ear off. "Close enough. Okay, listen up, class is in session. Pay attention, so far you've been flunking this course. Mrs. Parker feels neglected." Leo complains that Parker wants too much money and it makes him lose face in front of his people. Tambi says, "You make money because we allow you to make money. That's that you've been set up to do, make money for us. You're a machine to us Leo, and now you don't work properly, so you need a realignment." She unties the girl. "Get on the bed Vicky."
The girl obeys Tambi. "Olivia is just a figment of your recreation, Leo. The submissive little wife played to perfection by your very own Parker Girl, Vicky Weiss. You didn't think we'd let you walk around with all that money unprotected, did you?"
Leo is pissed. All this time he has been married to a whore. He tries to attack Vicky, but Tambi slams the phone in his face. "Call your banker in the Caymans and tell him to transfer all your money to this account at the Chase Manhattan. Pick up the phone, Leo. Pick up the phone."
But Leo sits there getting more and more depressed. Tambi lectures him that his marriage, his business contacts, his big house on the Bay, all of this was courtesy of Darcy Parker so he could make money. Everything he touched belonged to Darcy, including his wife. Leo swears to kill his wife, whoever she is. Tambi grabs his by his nostrils and starts firing rounds into the floor, getting closer and closer to his balls. "MAKE THE CALL OR I'LL RIP YOUR FACE OFF! MAKE THE CALL OR I'LL BLOW YOU APART ONE LIMB AT A TIME! MAKE THE CALL OR I'LL ANNIHILATE YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY AND DESECRATE THEIR GRAVES! MAKE THE CALL! MAKE THE CALL!"
Finally he relents, but he takes too long to call. "I think you shot my foot!" I know I did, Tambi replies. Pick up the phone and make the call. Hurry, the fire's spreading. "What fire?" Tambi smashes his liquor all over the place and lights a match. That fire. "You're crazy!" he screams. No, Tambi replies, I'm the 'bitch' who's taking away everything but your heartbeat, make that call or I'll take that too!
He makes the funds transfer while Tambi ties Vicky up to one bedpost. "Mrs. Parker regrets to inform you your services are no longer required." Tambi ties Leo's arm to the other bedpost, and throws a single knife on the bed between them. "I'm going to leave you two lovebirds to work out your marital difficulties."
Vicky Weiss wakes up in bed after reliving this as a nightmare. When she raises her head, we see that she is Lindsey Noel.
Francine flies home on Griffin Silver's private plane. Griffin notices that she keeps leaving messages at a number back there, and he says, "There's someone else, isn't there?" It's over, Francine says. "And yet, you still love him." Please shut up, Francine says, and collapses in sobs.
Casey wakes up to find Katchoo crying in the bathroom with half a box of tissues scattered around her. She takes Katchoo into her bed. Their silhouette is watched by Cherry Hammer from a car outside in the street.
