    Summary

    It’s just a pick-up from a dealer...

    Sure, she's never so much as taken a hit off a joint or even had a beer in her life, but hey. What this Merle guy doesn't know won't hurt him. She can fake it.

    Probably.

    Summary

    Abbot lifted his head to look down at her. “See, that’s the post-traumatic stress. Something happens that your brain decides is a life or death situation. You have a massive adrenaline kick while it’s all happening, and then when it’s bleeding out of you on the comedown, your brain throws out anything that’s not completely vital. The amount of car crash patients we have who don’t even remember coming to the ER when they submit requests for their medical records for insurance… the brain’s a weird thing, Mohan.”

    “Yeah,” she said, shooting him a look out of the side of her eyes. “It can even make you convinced you have to hurt yourself in order to seek external validation when the most logical course of action is rest.”

    He snorted softly, shaking his head and leaning it back. “God,” he muttered, his cheeks stained pink. “Robby was right. You should have gone into psych.”

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    A night shift from hell ends in Mohan giving Abbot a ride back to his place, where tensions finally boil over.

    It happened once, that first summer, all haze and oil-grease and an air to him that’s never let her forget about it.

    Summary

    “There’s plenty I like about Johnny,” Kathy says. “Like I said, he keeps his head. And he’s loyal. I seen women throw themselves all over him but he’s only got eyes for Benny.”

    “Betty.”

    “Betty. That’s what I said.”

    Later, Danny plays back the recording and confirms she did in fact say Benny.

    Or: Johnny tells Danny about the blizzard of '67. Kathy explains how Benny dodged the draft. And Benny finally agrees to be interviewed.
