The Girls return to the scene of the original crime as things with Rio reach a boiling point.
This shakes her enough to make her decide to crash on Beth’s couch for the night.
At least it’ll buy them time.

As Stan astutely says, their check is not just gonna bounce, it’s gonna ricochet.
“Trash day,” Beth answers absentmindedly because she’s distracted by a car across the street.
“Is it our anniversary or just another Wednesday?”
Plus, this way, they can take a little extra to cover Sara’s surgery.
And so we’ve come full circle.
Another crudeHome Alone-esque store blueprint is drawn, only this time our Girls are smarter Annie, especially.
She tells them about the security upgrades, including a brand new vault.
But the funniest commentary is on Tyler, the security guard.
“Nobody move this is a robbery!”
Beth yells once again as she and Ruby enter the Fine & Frugal for their second heist.
Look how our Girls have grown!
Beth herds all the customers into an aisle as Ruby plucks Annie to go fire up the vault.
Annie tells Sally not to be a hero, to turn over her key card.
Ruby roughs Annie up a little to “make it real” as she pushes her to the office.
He tells her to put the money back as she’s nearing tears.
An unmarked car pulls up to the store, and Agent Turner jumps out.
Inside, he finds the manila envelope on top of the cash inside the vault.
The two go on a hunt for the source of the chirping until Mary Pat locates it.
She finds the hidden recorder in Boomer’s hymnal, which had gone off because the memory was full.
She tells the woman to shred the check, and then goes to find Stan.
They cannot believe they’ve finally made it in more ways than one.
Mary Pat pays Beth a visit at home, telling her about the recording gear she found.
Dean is leaving work with a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
He tells one of his sales associates that he has a hot date.
She hands Beth a prescription for pain medicine, and Beth asks if it’ll interfere with radiation.
The TV blaring above her distracts her as the news reports that gang members were indicted on racketeering charges.
At the diner Beth tells Annie and Ruby that she’s “done something.”
As soon as she utters those words, Ruby and Annie half-joke about PTSD.
Annie and Ruby are in complete awe until Beth starts laughing, admitting that it was all made up.
Boomer knocks on Mary Pat’s door.
When Mary Pat asks him about Annie, he calls her garbage.
“Is that why you tried to rape her?”
Mary Pat pulls down the hymnal from her bookshelf, which was recording him the entire time.
Annie and Greg are drinking Cinnamon Schnapps on football field bleachers.
Annie is feeling a range of emotions about what she witnessed earlier with Sadie and her friends.
Namely she feels guilty about keeping Sadie from a school that is clearly so accepting.
Sara comes through her surgery with flying colors, and is hungry like she has the munchies.
Ruby pretends to be surprised as Stan asks her what to do.
“You know the answer and you did it anyway,” he laments.
Dean’s hands are tied behind him and Rio has him by the neck.
That’s what all this is.
You got big plans, but, see, you didn’t think things all the way through.
You want to be the king, you gotta kill the king.
This stuff’s medieval, darling."
He tells her he’s not going to kill anybody sheis.
Then he cocks his gun, and slides it down the length of the table in her direction.
“So whatchu think?
You got what it takes?”
Sometimes growth isn’t always for the better.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
