In the ladies room, Lisa is giving Carly instructions on how she will perform her duties as restroom attendant. Lisa puts a dollar bill in the tip bowl and Carly reaches for it.

He says that he couldn't do that, the department would have his head for that. Carly says that he doesn't know her, but she is wealthy and if he could arrange this, she would take care of him, if he knows what she means. He says OK and starts to open the cell door.

At Java, Carly laments to Jack about how happy Parker looked. Molly can't believe it when Lucinda insists she was the one who wrote the note and paid her bail. Lucinda then springs from her wheelchair and demands to know what Molly has to be "forgiven" for by Reid.
