The Woods

Lucy wakes up at noon, calls the school counsellor for Sylvia, and debates whether to call Paul. She leaves a vague message with Paul’s secretary, Jocelyn. Meanwhile, Paul and Muse eat lunch. Muse turns the conversation to Santiago’s murder and Paul’s theory about Gil. Muse wants to help, so Paul asks her to secure a meeting with Wayne Steubens. Jocelyn brings in Paul’s messages, and Lucy’s cryptic note stuns him. Muse teases Paul, but he doesn’t have time to dwell on his swell of emotions.

Jerry Flynn returns to the stand, and Paul immediately questions him about renting adult films. Jerry avoids listing the titles of the rented DVDs. Paul draws Jerry’s attention to the DVD Romancing the Bone, which the fraternity held for six months and returned the day after Chamique’s assault. Jerry denies knowing the movie, just as private detective Cingle Shaker, whom Muse hired, enters the courtroom. Shaker pretended to be an adult film star to get the frat brothers to talk to her, and Jerry told her that Romancing the Bone was his favorite.

Paul rolls out a TV to play a scene from Romancing the Bone. In the scene, two white male actors have a rough threesome with an African American woman, and the two men call one another Cal and Jim.
