Bobo and Lem go to rescue Fiji. He brings the cache of weapons but Lowry and his nest of skinheads they proceed to give Bobo a beat down anyway.

Rise and shine! Manfred discovers a mysterious vintage jack in the box outside his door in the morning when he goes to leave his house. In the box is a mysterious note (of course) for him to meet at a train station at 10am. So the chickens have come home to roost. Manfred knows that it is Hightower, who his grandmother conned out of $100,000 has come for his revenge. His grandmother tells him not to go but he doesn’t listen.

Manfred asks Creek to leave with him as he runs from Hightower. She tells him she can’t do that (smart girl). He pawns his family jewels to Bobo. Creek asks Olivia for help with Manfred. She finds him on his way to meeting Hightower. They find his -literally- petrified daughter. She is dead but Hightower has been carting her dried out body around. Turns out Manfred used to be a con and a cad and had left her (name was Violet) at the altar. THis is in addition to the matter of the money Manfred's grandmother cheated him out of. Violet killed herself a few weeks after Manfred left- apparently of a broken heart. Turns out he and his grandmother ran the con on Hightower together. Olivia and Manfred subdue Hightower, lock him in a room and leave him so he can calm down. Manfred does the whole mea culpa thing for Hightower. He tells Hightower that right after the wedding grandma Zelda got sick and soon died. That bitch Karma had reared her ugly ky head.He offers to be a medium so that Hightower can talk to Violet. Hightower tricks him and throws him into basement with dead Violet. Manfred tells Violet’s ghost he is sorry. Ghost Violet has a surprise for Manfred, though. She reveals that Manfred wasn't in fact the reason why she killed herself. And she hopes her control freak narcissist father rots in hell. Violet jumps into Manfred's body and basically curses her father out. She tells him he treated her like she was just a means to an end. She tries to strangle her father through Manfred's body but Manfred fights her off. Hightower, not liking what Violet has said to him takes his anger out in Manfred and tries to kill him. It appears Violet makes a quick comeback and ends him with shards of glass of all things. Creek goes to see Manfred later that night and tells him she came clean about them to her father.
