This week, Cole's secret past comes back to haunt him in the present with real consequences for all The Unusuals.
Dispatch suggests they have a Hawaiian shirt Friday if she has the power to do it. (Ask Angel from Dexter. He'll give pointers.)
The episode starts-where else but in Walsh's bedroom, post coital. Walsh offers to make Beaumont breakfast. (I think I see some side boob here, btw. Tsk Tsk ABC.) He gets dressed and heads out to the diner.
Cole is walking with his fiance Amy. She is asking why he doesn't want any family at the wedding. He says that they are all dead. She snuggles up and says that she has enough for the both of them. His phone rings so he steps away. It's Frank saying that it's "The Big Day" (Not sure why the writers used these words with all the wedding talk, doesn't sound witty, it's jsut confusing.) She reminds him to meet at the Caterer's at 3. Frank starts waxing on about the chees all star Bobby Fisher, saying that Chess is all about deep tactics, sizing up your opponent and setting your trap. The scene pans out and he is in front of Walsh's diner.
Frank sits down at the counter and Walsh tells him they have pancakes and goulash. Frank opts for the goulash. He asks if Walsh likes chess. Walsh says that he likes real games. Frank suggests hunting and asks if Walsh likes to hunt. Walsh answers "only people," so they start to discuss that old man hunting movie. Frank says "Last meal" and then when Walsh turns around he says that he wants iced tea. He then asks if Walsh is a cop, raising Walsh's suspicions. Frank says he's been around cops so he can tell. Says Walsh has a familiar face. Then he asks for syrup. While Walsh's back it turned Frank whips out a gun to shoot Walsh.
Walsh is prepared for the attack and tussles with Frank for the gun. The gun goes off, pointing toward the back. Beaumont screams. Walsh dives for a shotgun under the counter and there is a short tense gun battle. Frank runs out as Walsh scrambles to the back to see what happened to Beaumont. 
She's been shot in the stomach, the second most popular place to be shot beside the shoulder. Cue the happy intro music.
Police are cordoning off Walsh's diner. Banks and Delahoy are waiting around. Banks sees that the cash register reads $42.42. Says that it's telling him something about death. 9Um, last I checked 42 was about the meaning of life and had nothing to do with death. Obviously these people have friends who are Hitchhiker fans and have never actually read it.) Irritated Delahoy asks if he isn't concerned about Beaumont. Schraeger shows up at the door and asks for Brown. They tell her to go in back.
Schraeger tells Brown that she's canvassed the area with no sign. Brown says that Beaumont is in surgery and she's lucky with a clean exit wound. He asks if Casey knew about Beaumont and Walsh. She admits it. He says they've called Cole but there is no answer. Then he tells Casey she is the lead on the case. She's shocked and says no He asks why she said no and says she should be thanking him. She thanks him and says that she's the least experienced. Brown says he's worried because 3 months ago Walsh's partner was killed now Walsh was almost killed. (What happened to each week is a week, now we jump 2 months? And what's with the snow? I don't want snow on TV in April. I want summer.) Brown says he knows that the two things are connected but she should keep quiet.
