The guy who saved your people from starving? He had no f-ks to give. He stole into RubyвЂ™s Plumbing, only get himself drop-kicked byвЂ¦ Stephanie! Ack! And the mystery man with whom the вЂњplumbersвЂќ regularly met wasвЂ¦ Lance! Gads! HeвЂ™d used Stephanie to get Eugene to tell all about his peopleвЂ™s communities! Well, Eugene was going to make sure that everyone knew what Lance was. Princess tried to reason with Eugene - вЂњDude! When a woman quits her job and moves away without telling you,вЂќ she broke up with you! But he wouldnвЂ™t be deterred. After the duo discovered what looked like a kidnapping kit, they were busted and thrown in the clink, at which point Lance corroborated RomanвЂ™s story. Reluctant as she was to get in trouble, Princess accompanied Eugene as he staked out RomanвЂ™s apartment and broke in when the man went for a jog. вЂњNow,вЂќ he reckoned, вЂњsilencing her is the last step in repairing that leak.вЂќ

There were sketchy things going on at RubyвЂ™s Plumbing Co., things that led him to believe that Stephanie had run afoul of a вЂњrogue elementвЂќ in the Commonwealth government. вЂњHe is most definitely not a plumber,вЂќ Eugene told Princess. He even came up with a lead: a plumber named Roman Calhoun that heвЂ™d seen leaving StephanieвЂ™s building the day that she vanished and supposedly put in a request to be transferred. Later, since the Commonwealth Army quickly gave up its search for the suddenly-missing person, Eugene played drunken Jessica Fletcher himself.

And when he sought her out at her apartment, she didnвЂ™t answer the door, she kept frantically packing. She reciprocatedвЂ¦ after a pause - but then she was a no-show for their ice-cream date. After she gave him her review - two thumbs up - he proffered a key to his apartment and dropped the L word on her. вЂI WAS THINKING ABOUT YOU YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS GETTING MY KNIVES SHARPENEDвЂ™ | Finally, in the episodeвЂ™s вЂњAвЂќ story, Eugene awakened in bed less surprised to find Stephanie there than to find her reading the sci-fi novel on which he was working with her encouragement. Later, after Mercer discovered that Tyler had been moved without his authorization, a seemingly significant list of names was slipped under Connie and KellyвЂ™s door. Did it have anything to do with the fact that Max was MercerвЂ™s sister? (Wait, what?) Giving up nothing, Mercer wondered aloud why Connie was asking questions, the answers to which would never be published. To make matters worse, Jan assigned Connie and Kelly a ride-along with Mercer - they were supposed to do a puff piece on the military! Connie being Connie, she instead pressed Mercer about why she wasnвЂ™t allowed to see Tyler even a month after he was hospitalized under military guard. But boss Jan just wanted her article to paraphrase PamelaвЂ™s press release, which stated that Tyler had been suffering from PTSD when he took Max hostage and hurled accusations at the governor. вЂIF I WAS YOU, I WOULD BE REALLY INTERESTED IN WHO I WAS RISKING MY LIFE FORвЂ™ | In another plot, Connie was dying to find out and tell Trooper DavisвЂ™ story.
