I knew she was trouble! Brilliant!

A bold move! I love it. Lambone feels very human, very real. It almost feels like he is a core of normalcy in the midst of the chaos.

Of course, it would take someone with Lambone’s journalistic intuition, and inveterate cowardice, to discover what all the other characters are looking for while they’re busy beating each other up!

This is great, new stimulus for the plot arc. Now where are we:

Nick and Maryanne headed for the bus station – no diamond but with, presumably Vincenzo’s $500

Tugger lingering around in the mens room – no idea where that is heading, but he is eyes and ears back at the club for Nick.

Lambone – Just caught a break with a hot story – The Bete Noir gets a new neck. Apparently Otellio is NOT buying it back from DiSibio as he is using it to bad a chanteuse.

Otellio – Still in hot water and heading for the burner to bring the story of his wife’s betrayal and theft to get himself out of trouble.

Could this all boil down to nothing?
