Attacking Margot Wilton for hiding her murder of her crippled son, Sqweegel (Bullman)leaves clues for the investigating officers pointing towards her secret, before later killing the unfaithful Carrie Jones and escaping without being detected, leaving her daughter untouched. Attacking Margot once more, Sqweegel spares her when she admits her crime and escapes, leaving the body of a corrupt paramedic in an identical rubber suit to distract the heroes, making sure to leave hidden letters revealing her deed for the authorities to find.

'''Megan''': Are you? Because if you've got it, bring it on. Just as I thought. Bubkes. So you figure, "what the hell? Give it a sh*t." You cook up this weak gruel of spindly circumstances and wild conjecture just to see if you can rattle banana 2.0's cage, just to see what she gives up, but she's way too cool and in the end reveals nothing. She simply smiles and says, "gentlemen, if you'll excuse me, I have a 13-episode commitment from cbs to attend to." It's called Megan's family. And with that, she and her lover-slash-executive producer turn and make their grand exit. We'll be watching you.
