Steve is in the kitchen, their ancient landline pressed to his ear and an incredulous expression on his face as he stirs a pot of pasta boiling on the stove.

“I just —” he stops as he’s interrupted by whoever’s on the other end of the call, “—Tracy, why do you think Moe did it?” he pauses again, “Okay, why do you think Moe helped Grace do it?”

He’s silent for another little while, and Eddie sees his eyes narrow (a common state for them to be in when talking to their neighbor Tracy Baker).

“Okay, well I’ll talk to Moe, but until you can give me anything definitive that actually shows she was involved, I’m not gonna make her — what was it you said? Reap the consequences of anything.”

A moment later, Steve is hanging up the phone.

“What the hell was that about?” Eddie asks, but Steve just shakes his head. He follows as Steve walks over to the stairs and calls, “Lucy Maureen Harrington!”

There’s only silence for a long moment, and then a faint, “Yeah?”

“Come downstairs please.”

“Explain,” Eddie says, bouncing on his toes as they hear Moe’s bedroom door open.

“That was Tracy—”

“Yeah, I got that part.”

Steve nods, “—who thinks Moe had something to do with why the Fox News channels on all their TVs are suddenly password protected.”

Eddie lets out a choking laugh, “Oh my god …and Moe…”

“Absolutely had something to do with it — but there’s no way in hell I’m letting that woman — who did the sign of the fucking cross in our doorway the one time she had to come into our house — get the satisfaction of—”

Steve stops as Moe appears at the top of the stairs.
