* Marco the dumb rapist's long-overdue and well-deserved ElectricTorture sequence, particularly when he sees Bryan going for the light switch a second time, and he starts shaking his head and yelling "No! No!" through his gag. You spat in his face a second time after he already zapped you for spitting in his face once; what'd you ''think'' he was gonna do this time, asshole?

*** Especially funny is the way she keeps trying to make him promise that he won't track down the boyfriend, and while Bryan claims he's going to give Kim her space, he won't quite promise...so Lenore calls Kim four times trying to warn her (Kim, answer your phone for once!).
