251
I just wanted to tell you
that the boys are now

252
uh -- lice-free.
- Good to hear.

253
I just can't figure out how it happened.
They get a bath every night. Trust me.

254
It's the ugliest 15 minutes of the day.
- I believe you.

255
I keep thinking maybe it was the petting zoo
I took them to last week.

256
That llama was really iffy.
- Mrs Scavo, it doesn't work that way.

257
Lice only spread from human to human.
Even the cleanest kid can get it

258
if he gets too close to the wrong kid.
- Really?

259
Yes. So don't be so hard on yourself, uh?
- I guess. Still I feel a little guilty.

260
After all, my kids started an entire lice outbreak.

261
Look, your kids didn't start it.
- They didn't?

262
No! I know that Patient Zero was another little boy.
It's his 4th time with this problem.

263
Oh! There's a load off my mind.

264
Well, thank you.

265
So which kid is it?
- I can't tell you. You know we have a "no blame" policy.

266
We have to protect the children. You'll understand.
- Of course.

267
No, I don't. You have to give me a name.
- Mrs Scavo...

268
Here's the thing: acting like parents won't assign blame is like

269
pretending they don't keep score at PW League games.
It's human nature.

270
If you don't give the mob someone to blame,
they pick a scapegoat.

271
I can't let my boys be the scapegoats.
- Please don't put me in this position.

272
I'm begging you. We've already been uninvited
from a birthday party, a really big one

273
with a bouncy house and a hot dog stand and a clown...

274
I wish I could help you.

275
For god's sake, and a magician!
Tammy Brandon went all out.

276
Tammy Brandon? Topher's mother?
- Yes.

277
Now isn't that interesting?

278
Have a seat.

279
Meanwhile at the Fairview County prison,
Maisy Gibbons was delighted to hear she had a visitor.

280
But she was soon reminden one should always be aware of visitors...

281
bearing gift baskets.

282
You gotta be kidding me.

283
Hello Maisy.

284
Stuff like this is why I love you.

285
What brings you here?

286
I need a favor.
- I thought as much.

287
I heard there is a little black book
with the name of your clients in it.

288
There is.

289
I was wondering if perhaps
you could remove Rex's name.

290
Wow, that's a big favor.
Those muffins better be really good.

291
I have some money I have been putting aside for emergencies.
It can be yours if you just...

292
Keep my mouth shut?

293
Continue to be discreet.

294
Gosh. I don't know.

295
I don't think it's asking much.
Just remove one little name.

296
But if I do it for you,
I have to do it for all the other wives.

297
That wouldn't be fair, now would it?

298
Maisy! Please! We used to be good friends!

299
Where were you when Harold lost his job a year ago?
Did you stop by to offer your help?

300
Did you bring a big basket of baked goods
when we couldn't even pay our bills?
