Larry talks the women out of a beheading, but agrees to take up Kangaroo court for the trial of Dick Fitz. Meanwhile, Kara instructs Josh to make bomb, with her cell phone as the detonator. But he realizes there's far too much firepower for this to be a simple jailbreak bomb -- she wants to blow-up Fitzpatrick Motors!

The next morning, Fitz arrives at work to find Larry's face being painted on the Fitzpatrick Motors mural. He's finally accepted him as part of his life. But the sight of him only elicits a final "Fuck off, Larry."
