“Man, I’m just tired and bored with myself
Hey there, baby, I could use just a little help…”
~ Bruce Springsteen.
April & October 1988.
Gaines and Al swing by Michael’s dorm room and take him out for dinner. Later that evening, Michael asks how he can ever repay their kindness and Gaines tells him to “pay it forward.” Meanwhile, Samina is at the Sea Rock Hotel and gives another interview, this time to Showtime Magazine.
The next day, Michael meets Mark and a “noob” who just arrived in country. He invites them out for drinks at “Toucans” bar in Utrecht. While there, Michael meets Elisabeth sitting at the bar and she gives him her phone number.
Samina calls up Manish and they meet in an attorney’s office to finalize their divorce. Meanwhile, Michael is ready to call Elisabeth but is stopped by a vision of the future.
