Ezra throws away the doctor's burner phones into Niagara Falls but is interrupted by a child asking if he is "Mr. Puppy Dog Eyes." The child hands Ezra a note from Sofia and meets up with her at a motel. Ezra throws Sofia's share of the money to her on the bed and asks if that's what she wanted. She says, "Yes, and something else, too. Come here. I'll tell you all about it." As Ezra approaches the bed, one of the burner phones rings; he answers it. "Hello, Doctor? It's Ernie.", the voice says, "I have an update on Cincinnati". Ezra hesitates, and then with a mischievous expression says, "Go ahead, Ernie. I'm listening".

Toby Jug

Toby Jug

A Toby Jug, also sometimes known as a Fillpot, is a pottery jug in the form of a seated person, or the head of a recognizable person.
