They discuss their past and it is revealed that their father, upon his death, bequeathed to Emmit a Corvette Stingray and to Ray a collection of rare stamps.
He cordially visits Emmit and the two make peace, which gives Nikki enough time to infiltrate the mansion and search his home office.
Enraged due to believing this was a message to Ray, she leaves a used tampon in one of his desk drawers (where she also finds details of a safety deposit box Emmit holds).
After shaving his mustache and donning a wig, Ray impersonates Emmit and is able to retrieve the safety deposit box that Nikki stole the information for, but it only contains the remains of a family pet.
An enraged Sy calls Nikki, and agrees to a meeting later that day which is interrupted by Yuri Gurka (Goran Bogdan) and Meemo (Andy Yu), two henchman of Emmit's shady "silent partner" V.M.
The two arrive at the motel but are unknowingly followed by Meemo, and Ray realizes too late that they left a large sum of their remaining getaway money at the house.
Panicked, Emmit decides to call Varga, who agrees to cover up the murder and sets the rest of the season’s plot into motion.
