Jackie retraces her steps, which leads her to a motel bar. She learns she was there the day before, accompanied, and checks the receipt to find a name, Alex, and room number. She gets inside the room, and finds a stash of cash and possible evidence of chicanery, including random empty Geist packaging. She gets Alex’s (or her own) address, buys a taser, then sneaks into their house. Inside, Audrey is leaving a voicemail for Alex, who hasn’t checked in. Audrey’s on her way out the door, and Jackie decides to follow her.
They end up at Geist HQ, where a party is underway. Jackie walks through the party, sees Audrey, and they approach each other. Audrey asks about Walter Cruz, and Jackie asks about Alex. Audrey has to put the pieces together for Alex, who thinks her name is Jackie. This very tense and awkward moment is made moreso by the fact that people keep greeting Alex.

Here’s where it gets good. Drinks are served at the party, in anticipation of Leonard’s speech —something they encourage him to do despite his very vocal anti-partnership sentiments. He does exactly what one would expect and goes off, causing a scene. Audrey cuts the mic, drops the balloons, and everybody cheers. Moments later, people start passing out. Alex sees Walter, dressed in a caterer’s uniform, walk by with a tray full of empty bottles.
Everyone at the party has ingested the memory loss drug, save for Walter, Leonard, and Alex. We know what happens next; it only takes one full dose for Heidi (Julia Roberts) to lose her memory in season one, and for Alex to lose hers at the top of this season.
