Holly meets with Silas at a coffee bar and Silas talks about group.

After a moment, Bill suggests that they go into the hospital and confirm if they're getting the whole truth about Brady. Jerome warns that it's criminal and Bill admits that he's right and tells him to forget it. Jerome warns that he's obsessing and Holly was right, and asks what's wrong with him.

Brady has Al break into Montez's home after his wife and two children leave. The dog lunges at him, and Al goes back to the car and gets the game.

Jerome calls Bill and says that he hacked into the hospital computers. He saw Brady's file and if he's alive, it's only in the most technical sense. Jerome couldn't get into Felix's personal files because they're on a private server. Bill goes to the hospital and finds Maggie on her cigarette breaks, and asks if she knew Sadie thought Brady was talking to him. Maggie warns that Felix is on her, and then says that Brady's EKG jumped when Bill visited him and later when Sadie jumped.

The detective will go through Bill's investigator's license and make sure he's shut down. Montez insists that it's his case and tells Bill to stay away from the hospital, and Bill wonders if it concerns more that Bill cares or if he doesn't.

Bill tells Holly that he might have fucked up already by digging around on Brady, and Montez threatened to pull their licenses. Holly says that he's a selfish jerk, and admits that she set out to be like Bill. She tells him that she did some independent research and that it is possible that Brady is faking his condition. Bill warns her that she's going down his "skunk hole" and congratulates her on taking it well.
