The Cold Dish

Walt wakes up in the hospital to find a frostbitten ear bandaged and IVs in his wrists. He sneaks out of bed to go check on Henry, who thanks him. A nurse who happens to be Ruby’s granddaughter reprimands him for leaving his room, but he disregards her and leaves the hospital to return to work.

Arriving at his office, Walt confers with Lucian, and the two go looking for George. Assuming that he took steps to treat his wounds, they check the hospital and a drugstore before heading to a taxidermy and game processing store. Seeing George’s car in the parking lot, Walt enters the closed store. He finds George inside with his friend, Petie Hampton, who bandaged his injuries. Walt learns that George’s parents are gambling in Deadwood, South Dakota.

Walt drops George off at the hospital, where he catches up with Vic. She informs him that the Cheyenne Death Rifle was not a match for the one that killed Cody, although it was fired recently. She also asks him what she sees in Vonnie as Walt thinks to himself that Vic’s husband is an “idiot” for not appreciating her. As they hug, Vonnie walks by.

Leaving Vic, Walt catches up to Vonnie, who reveals that she found out about Walt’s ordeal by listening to a police scanner.
