Storyline

Nick, Greg and Hodges 'abduct' unamused colleague Henry for what they claim will reverse his history of miserable birthdays at dream barbecue Henry's Hog restaurant, way in the desert. After a long drive and a near-serious crash which wrecks the car, they find the place closed since 5 months for hepatitis hazard. Inside are the corpse of cook Gomez and a raccoon attached to his battered. They only people who turn up are the night watcher Slick and his hag driver Shirley, former colleagues and lovers, until Nick makes another horrible discovery. Meanwhile Asian Lily's help call failed to get the police in time to prevent her drowning in the bath tub of house owner Bernard Higgins, who maintains his innocence until his incurable illnesses are fatally aggravated by the stress of Brass's hostile interrogation. The autopsy really gets Langston's attention, given a Dr. Jeckyl signature and second potential cause of death.

Goofs

When Henry asks why he never heard of the Hog Heaven BBQ place, the camera cuts to a farther shot showing the car driving down the road and everyone in the car still has their masks on, but everyone had taken them off earlier in the shot when they revealed themselves to Henry.

Quotes

Nick Stokes: [a car had swerved into the path of Nick while he was driving with Henry, Hodges and Greg causing Nick to wreck the car, subsequently flipping it several times before it comes to a stop. Everyone gets out of the car and is staring at it] Damn. I rolled that bad boy, didn't I?
