While Rachel is taking a shower, Brad looks in her purse and finds a 9mm semi-auto. While he plays around with it, Rachel, dripping wet, comes from behind takes it from him, drops out the clip, and ejects one round that was in the chamber, the one that would have killed him if he kept playing with the gun. He says he was just looking for her keys. "Chuck," she growls menacingly. "Next time. Ask."
At the apartment, the newfound closeness between Francine and Katchoo is spoiled a bit when Francine says something that is misunderstood, and Katchoo's temper boils over. She takes a mighty swing and knocks their whole dinner setup to the floor. "I dream of you, and you have nightmares of me," she says, No, that's not true, how could you even think that? C'mon, it's me, Francine, I love you.
They go out to eat instead. Francine is in awe of Katchoo's willpower, but she knows that it's so strong because she has to use it so much. The conversation drifts to David. Katchoo says he creeped her out by knowing little things about her that she never told him, while remaining a complete mystery to her. Francine says maybe he was just more interested in Katchoo than himself. Half the women in America are looking for someone like David. Then Francine mentions that it was obvious that David was abused in his childhood, but of course Katchoo knew that already, didn't she? Katchoo turns pale. She missed the signs. Now she begins to cry, because of what she did to David, killing their relationship. She has to find him.
Meanwhile, the head of one of the five crime families is having a sit-down with Darcy Parker. He says he covered for her on that embarrassing Senator Chalmers thing, but now she's got this new deal with a Presidential candidate going, and he's concerned about the way Darcy yanks her girls in and out of these setups. Someone is going to make the connection if she keeps it up. She's pissed off that Sal is telling her how to run her business. Sal says she's already under federal investigation. If she screws up this DC operation, there's nowhere she can hide.
At Chuck's house Rachel takes a call from Darcy. Rachel's real name is Veronica. Darcy tells her she needs her back in Washington by morning.
Katchoo is going to Los Angeles to find David. What she doesn't tell Francine is that David is probably in the heart of his sister Darcy Parker's lair. Francine sees her off at the airport with tears.
Rachel/Veronica is packing her stuff, and Chuck wants to know why she's leaving. She's stone cold silent. He gets more and more adamant. Finally she flips him onto the ground and gets him in the trademark Parker Girl nose hook hold where she nearly peels his face off. She says, "Someday you will lay beside your snoring wife and try to remember every inch of me, and I'll always hate you because you can." She releases him, and says he has no idea how lucky he is. Then she leaves.
