Lulu’s office Burton has come by. He compliments Lulu on her new office. He then announces that his client has agreed to up the offer to the apartment plus $20,000.
As Burton goes to leave, Lulu mentions that she was honored when she found out that the ring had been Anne’s. Burton interrupts her, saying that that is between she and Nick.

Hewlett House Alvin is there with Rufus, who is all cleaned up. The woman there doesn’t want to give Rufus a place as he is still drinking, but when Alvin says he’s trying to quit and works his charm, she gives in.

Meeting room Lulu, Ralph, and Nick meet with Laurie. Laurie tells them that Donnie was caught trying to recover 12 bags of crystal meth from the house where they lived. She says that there is more. Donnie’s real last name is Mendez. He disappeared or was kidnapped from his home in Fort Wayne, Indiana, when he was 10. But he was fingerprinted when he started nursery school, so they matched his prints. His mother is on her way.

Police Station Nick goes in to see Donnie. He questions him about the meth and about his relationship with Ralph. Donnie explains that he had to get money somehow to pay their expenses, and Ralph was too sick to work. He also explains that he hooked up with Ralph about four years ago. Ralph let him stay there and told him that he was like the grandson he never had. He also says that Ralph knows nothing about the drugs.

LSP Rufus shows up again, drunk. He was kicked out of Hewlett House for doing meth. Alvin confronts him about this, and about various lies Rufus has told him about his father when they were in high school together. But he agrees to make a few more calls on Rufus’ behalf.
After Rufus leaves, Abby comes by. She tells Alvin she’s decided to back him, and she’ll call him later to talk about setting up some fundraisers.

Hospital Lulu comes in where Nick is with Ralph and explains that at the first red light Mrs. Mendez stopped at, Donnie jumped out of the car and headed back to the hospital. As a result of breaking his probation, Donnie will now have to serve the drug charges.
Hearing this, Ralph tries to say the drugs were his, but Lulu stops him. She pulls Nick to the side to remind him that what he has just heard is privileged information as Ralph is a client of LSP. Nick tries to argue for a second, but agrees.

F&F Lulu comes by to see Burton. Ralph has agreed to the apartment and $10,000. As they are finishing, Nick comes in. She and he kiss briefly, and she leaves.
Burton asks Nick if they’re still on for Nemacola and if he’s bringing Lulu along. Then he asks if Nick has asked her yet. Nick says no, he hasn’t (Burton knows otherwise, of course). Burton tells him to get a move on.

LSP Lulu is behind her desk, Nick standing in the doorway. She talks about Donnie and about the decisions parents have to make for their kids. She’s clearly worried.
Nick softly tells her “Hey, you only ever get to see the wrong decisions here.”<br> The End
