Feeling Marsala

Early morning before work, Steve is awakened by the sound of a car pulling up on the street outside his 2nd story apartment bedroom window - it sounds like his Honda Civic. Looking out the window, he notices that it's a white Toyota RAV4 instead.

He rises, stopping to deliver a stuffed monkey to Juli, explaining that the reason that it smells like cigars is that he'd been keeping it inside a cigar box, "Just ask for their empties," he suggests. Then later, following her to the bathroom, he asks for the transcript of last night's presidential debate while she sits (clothed) on the closed toilet.

At work at Electronic Arts Los Angeles, Steve jokes to Robin about following Matt, saying, "It might turn into a free lunch." However, Matt relays an important mission, one that involves a terrorist plot to bomb the cafeteria, and Steve's new assignment to assassinate the bomb carrier while en route by staking out the reflecting pool.

Steve arms himself with 12 finger rockets.
