George (Ellen Muth) is not obsessed with the usual girly stuff; she’s obsessed with post-it notes. She asks Rube (Mandy Patinkin) if he wrote the note when she died and what else did the records say about her? He admits that he wrote it and tells her that what the world wants is balance. She doesn’t see balance. She sees a for-sale sign on her parents’ house. Her Mom (Cynthia Stevenson) says she will have to get a job. She was a legal secretary. Lawyers are angry people.

Roxie (Jasmine Guy) has a gun now that she’s a cop and Mason (Callum Blue) wants to hold it. He bugs her until she shoots him and he protests that it hurt. Rube is on the street. He reaps a guy who dodges traffic successfully but falls down a hole. Mason is doing the walnut shell-game but is terrible at it. Someone steals Georgia’s bike and she rails against the unfairness of the world. She goes to the police to report the theft and has to fill out a form. Roxie will file the report for George but tells her no-one cares. Rube has a better patter for the shell-game than Mason does.

There is a staff-meeting at Happy Time that George is late for. It is a lecture about corporate theft from a cynical security expert (Michael Kopsa). He has one talent—finding troublemakers and firing them. He seems to think George is a troublemaker. Everyone at Happy Time is eyeing George, thinking she’s a thief. She goes to reap a guy in the supermarket demonstrating  a food-guillotine. Naturally, he gets his throat cut. George takes his car-keys. George finds his car, which is a red Mustang, and takes it. Mason makes more money selling on the streetcorner the food guillotines that were in the trunk than he ever did with the shell-game.

George goes to her family’s house, pretending to be interested in buying it, and her fancy car makes that sound real. The realtor (Teryl Rothery, who was Doctor Frasier on Stargate and also appeared on X-Files and The Outer Limits) suggests that their daughter’s tragic death caused dissolution of the marriage. George checks out her old room and it’s empty. Daisy goes to a jewelry shop to reap the accident-prone owner. He offers her twelve hundred dollars for her catholic necklace before he dies and gives her another one afterwards. George drives to the Waffle Haus and tells Rube that she stole the car and doesn’t care. Rube says that the death of a child doesn’t kill a marriage but might give it an overdue burial. The crazy receptionist at Happy Time (Crystal Dahl) has a closet at home full of purloined post-it notes.
