Actually, I lied. It's one day before the election, according to the pre-title screen, and it's been 8 weeks "after the bombs". Weird phrasing. Looks like the writers' ten-year-old kids have been editing the script. Again. Hawkins is in his lair, receiving a message via the tubes in the interweb that the traitor has been identified and that he (Hawkins) is to make contact ASAP. But he's interrupted by little Sam. Hawkins demands to know what his kid has in his hand, and when Sam replies, "a football", Hawkins angrily snickers and growls "I KNOW that. What's it FOR?" Looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed...of LIES. Sam wants Dad to teach him how to play football, which pisses Hawkins off even further. Father of the year, this one.

Jake, having successfully downed his dosage of crazy pills for the day, is now digging up "Jericho's First Well", according to a tablet on the ground. I love when plotlines are clearly outlined on festive little plaques. Emily shows up and they talk about the damn well. Emily says she can remember another first that happened right over there, pointing to what I'm thinking is the town square. This just leads me to believe that Emily and Jake once bumped uglies atop a giant float during the 46th Annual Jericho St. Patrick's Day Parade. Jake points out another first behind the alley of Bailey's Bar, and at this point it's all I can do to keep my Cheetos down. But apparently he's talking about Emily throwing up while singing a Sinead O'Connor song. Clearly. Emily asks about the deal with Heather, and Jake says he has no intention of hurting her. Emotionally, at least.

Dale discovers Gracie's bloody, crumpled body on the floor of her store. And she's not only merely dead. She's really most sincerely dead. Finally, Jericho grows a pair and offs a main-ish character. Will anyone miss her? Only time will tell. My guess is hell no. Mayor McCheese, Eric, and Gray discuss this new development. No witnesses, and, according to the Mayor, Dale isn't capable of doing this. Hey, just because Dale has yet to experience the joys of puberty doesn't mean he can't wield a knife.

Dale, fondling the breasts of a middle-aged dead woman. A proud moment.

Mitchell breaks up this little box social with the news that Jonah in fact killed Gracie, in order to prove to the rest of his peons that he's still, uh, solid. Everyone buys this for some reason and they agree to let Mitchell help them track down Jonah. Everyone but Gray. He still thinks Mitchell is a filthy Other and he doesn't trust him. He then rails on the Mayor, screaming that Jericho is not the same happy little town it has been for the past thirty years. Gray is about as likable as an Old Navy commercial.

Hurley's long lost Asian twin lives in Jericho!

Jake walks Emily home, needling her about the name of "their song". He compliments her house, which she says was the first one she and Roger looked at. "When you know what you want, why keep looking?" Jake croons, a line that is FRAUGHT WITH MEANING. Emily flits inside the house, while Jake makes a weird "I so want to hit that" face and leaves. But lo! Upon entering the house Emily is not greeted by a fresh Glade plug-in scent but by an armed and very bloody-armed Jonah. He orders her not to say a word. I like Jonah.

Focus, Jake.
