Horst cooks dinner & bought a Roomba.

Eric and Driscoll are considerate houseguests.

Eric couldn’t leave hashslingrz alone. Put clues together and found that
the Wahhabi Transreligious Fellowship that’s linked into all those
hashslingrz payments is actually the CIA.

Ice is funneling funds for the CIA, at a profit, to anti-Muslim groups.

Maxine sees this as patriotic, but Eric’s outrage spills over into wacky
revenge plans which may derive some of their improbable nature from Eric’s
ongoing Ambien abuse.

They sort of guiltily and longingly reminisce about their foot action;
Maxine lets him know she hasn’t told Horst about it, nor does she plan to.

Probably referencing the Roomba, Eric tries to tell Maxine that his Ambien
hallucinations of little people coming out of the baseboards and cleaning
are real.

She shuts him down.
