Ad Guy
Willis makes commercials for various products (canned whiskey, deodorant, luxury watches, hot sauce). Lily continues to work in real estate. She gets a bit of a wake up call when her attempt to shoot a real estate commercial with an Asian family gets derailed by Betty Chan.
Willis cuts himself off from everyone he knows. His only companion is his new assistant, Josh. Willis doesn't exactly get along with Josh, who is super perky.
Willis runs into Fatty when he goes to shoot a commercial. Fatty accuses Willis of selling out. Willis gets thrown in a vat of hot sauce.
Lily tries to call Willis but he won't pick up the phone. Lana calls him more than once. She's on administrative leave but she continues to investigate the disappearance of Johnathan. Willis talks to Lana once but he hangs when he hears that she's still investigating the disappearance of his brother.
Lana hangs out at Golden Palance. She talks Carl into letting her work there, just as he's ready to shut down for the night. He gives her the keys while he goes to make a delivery. She goes into Uncle Wong's office and looks around.
The episode ends with Willis returning home to see his mother.
Thoughts
This episode was all over the place. It was funny and serious. It kind of worked for me. It felt like an interlude. I hope it was an interlude. It kind of felt like it grew naturally out of what came before but it also felt different. It's not my favorite episode but it has its moments. Maybe once the season is over I will understand better how this episode works with the others.
