Summary
Bill is still sitting on the floor, back against the wall, where he was leaning and then just sort of deflated. “I don’t know what to do now,” he says, his eyes unfocused somewhere above Bev’s head. “I feel like I’m late for something, but I don’t know what.” A hank of hair falls in his eyes, that gray streak in the same place he used to get summer highlights from long days spent lazing in the quarry or the woods, so even now he doesn’t look old so much as sun bleached. The patina of age is shimmering on all of them.
“We need to get rid of the body,” Mike says.
(Or, the Losers wake up, and come home.)Series

Summary
“Anyway, as fun as it’s been crying like a baby twice a week, I cancelled the rest of my sessions after the next one. I don’t have insurance and I’m basically over the hump, I think.”
“You’re.” Lawrence looks around desperately as if the furniture might agree with him. “It’s been two months, Adam. You’re not ‘over the hump’ in two months.”
Adam and Lawrence both lived. Here's how they get their shit together afterwards.

Summary
“This is nice.”
“I told you, man,” Argyle says, “All your troubles just melt away.”
Jonathan hadn't really believed him. He'd heard about how smoking just makes some people paranoid, and he had been sure he'd be one of those types. He'd insisted they try it in his bedroom, because if things went wrong he didn't want to be in some unfamiliar location convinced that the government was after him. In Jonathan's defense, the government has often been after him.
