"Becky isn't staying with us?" Danny asked Lindsay.
"No she has a hotel room this time. She flew in last night and she's going back to Boston first thing tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Danny nodded. "Flack said something about Mac having a date."
"With Peyton." Lindsay agreed. "It's why she didn't come today, Stella invited her."
"How come you didn't tell me that Mac had a girlfriend?" Danny inquired.
"I thought I had."
"I would have remembered something like that."
"You mean like you remember the conversation we had last week about me leaving you to become a lap dancer."
"WHAT?!!" Danny looked at her.
"You told me it sound like a great idea."
"When exactly did we have this conversation?" Danny asked.
"When you were ignoring me." Lindsay replied.
"You should have just hit me over the head with a cushion or something."
"Your cell phone rang and you ran out the door." Lindsay pointed out.
"You shouldn't let me ignore you."
"I know. But it was pretty funny what you were agreeing to."
"What else did I agree to?" Danny asked.
"I guess not knowing is your penance." Lindsay winked at him.
"You're evil."
"How does it go? 'Take me to bed or loose me forever'." Lindsay challenged.
"You watch too many Tom Cruise films." Danny told her.
"What does it say that you know it comes from a Tom Cruise film?" Lindsay countered.
"Fighter jets." Danny shrugged.
"You prefer A Few Good Men."
"Come on Jack Nicolson is great." Danny pointed out.
Lindsay yawned.
"Lets get you home Montana."
"You're a good man Danny Messer."
"Don't spread that around, it might ruin my reputation."

"So how are you feeling today?" The counsellor asked Lindsay on Monday.
"Better." Lindsay replied.
"Do you want to tell me what happened?"
"I had my bachelorette party on Saturday. I realised that I have good friends a wonderful husband, I have a good life and he was a psychopath serial killer and he isn't going to control my life."
"That's a good step."
"But I knew that before I came and spoke to you last time." Lindsay pointed out.
"Talking things through helps as well."
"I do talk." Lindsay stated. "I talk to Stella and Danny."
"You have a problem with therapy."
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Sometimes its unnecessary."
"Sometimes people need to talk to a third party."
"I understand that, but sometimes people can just have a bad day when things catch up with them. It doesn't mean they need to shell out for therapy. I have a great support system."
"So you don't want to be here?" He guessed.
"I'm here because you said I should come back." Lindsay reminded him.
"So how do you feel about him?"
"He's a serial killer, and unfortunately in my line of work I deal with killers on a daily basis. Some cases affect you more personally than others. I lost twenty hours and I had a bomb sent to me. Thirty people are dead, I'm fine."
"Sounds like survivor's guilt."
"That depends on the pathology of the mind of a serial killer, and since I'm not an expert in that field its not for me to say."
