WARNING: If you don't want to know what happened in this episode, don't read this photo recap! 

Remeber when Nick crapped out a pink alien, wrestled with it on the toilet, and then nearly died? Right, so after all that, the two adversaries then broke through the window and continued their rowdy rendezvous outside.

Having lost her hard evidence, Merry's had to come up with a backup plan: She and DD are going to head to Shine Tower to get some more goo, straight from the source. DD needs some coaxing before he's willing to do that.

Nick is, shall we say, losing his damn mind. He's running around the city pantsless looking for a personified goo. It's not a good look.

He gets picked up by three guys in Hillary Clinton masks (is there symbolism there?) and pistols. They happen to be a trio of guys Sax killed back in season one (or thought he killed in Season 1). They contract him out for a job: kill Sonny Shine.

Then again, Sax could just be hallucinating this whole thing, is actually on a crosstown bus, and the men in Hillary Clinton masks (let's just go with no symbolism) are actually like guardian angels reminding him that it's his daughter's birthday. He's promplty thrown off the bus.

Hailey had to make breakfast, and get herself to school, all on her own, because Amanda is reeling from Simon time. But, during lunch, she makes three new friends, who used to be three old enemies. They're drawn to her after she tells them that the guy at the zoo is her boyfriend. Smoothie. Eunuch.

And, Amanda starts huffing.

Meanwhile, Orcus is solidifying his hold over Blue, and holding satanic sermons in the prison courtyard. But every so often Blue pulls a fast one and... makes Orcus fart.

Merry and DD break in to Shine Tower, and waylay the human Wishee that replaced the alien one Merry killed. He's never actually met the other three Wishees, and Sonny wasn't about to make that introduction.

Blue appeals to his cellmate and lover Pink to put an end to Orcus' reign once and for all... by killing Blue. It's like Shawshank Redemption meets Little Nicky meets Kiss of the Spider Woman.

The Squad get Hailey a birthday cake for her birthday, but when she opens it...

It looks just like the one she ate with Pervy Santa back in Season 1. But the Squad didn't try to pull a fast one on her: they bought her a real cake. WHAT'S GOING ON?! Hailey throws a fit, and runs away.

And Sax is... slipping pretty deep into his withdrawal. He's hallucinating Amanda telling him to hop off the wagon, and start killiing people and drinking again. It's bad.

Merry's plan? To don the Wishee costume herself, and inflitrate the inner Wishee circle. On her way to rehearsal, she gets stopped by Smoothie, who sniffs her out. But she's saved by the PA, who calls her to set.

First, Merry suffocates a security guard watching the cameras.

DD breaks out of his dressing room to reminisce on his old stage set. Sonny shows up, and is furious. DD shows him he's got the blackmail tape, which only enrages Sonny more. So Sonny bashes DD's face in with his own microphone. And kills him.

Nick is hallucinating again, and this time it's Happy as a horse. Happy-horse tells Narcosis Nick that he should skip town for good – that would be the best gift he could get Hailey for her b-day. Looks like Nick's demons just won't give him a break.

The real Happy was out at a bar, getting cozy with a Little Bo Peep imaginary friend. Looks like Happy's doing some growing up of his own.

When Hailey comes home from school, Amanda snaps out of her delirium and remembers she missed her daughter's birthday. That was the last straw. She realizes what she has to do now.

Feeling lost and alone, Hailey returns to the park, where she meets Smoothie. He seems to be the only person who cares about her. Seems is the operative word here, as it was he who swapped out that birthday cake. Dastard!

Nick, still hallucinating, and still looking for a present for Hailey, also stumbles into Shine Tower (where is the security in this place?!). He sees (read hallucinates) Hailey holding a gun, and shooting him in the gut, ostensibly to get rid of him forever.

He falls to the ground, hugging what he thinks is Hailey, who is, in reality, the big pink blob that is the Wishee.

And Amanda busts in to the Tower, looking for a meeting with Sonny. Here we go!
