Moe, once his phone was debugged, decided to leave the police station and decided to walk around town a bit. If he was going to open a pizza parlor, Moe reasoned, it would be a good idea to get a lay of the land and get to know his customers. He made his way to the central part of the town and started to talk to people on the street. He wanted to better understand his potential customers and figure out how to best serve them. This is a town of weres, after all, and they had some rather...unique tastes. Moe was a successful pizza place owner back in New York before the Gambini family muscled in, and he was determined to own a successful business here in Moon Lake.

Once Nichole, Karen, and Francine finished eating their meal at the diner, Francine picked up the bill. "My treat," she said as she paid the cashier. The trio went to the car and piled in with Nichole and Francine in the front seats and Karen in the back. The car went down the road on their way back home when Karen spotted Moe on the sidewalk.
"Hey, is that dad?" Karen asked as the car turned the corner. Both Francine and Nichole turned to see if it was Moe walking around, but the car turned to corner too quickly for them to see. It wasn't long before Francine drove the three of them home. Karen and Nichole thanked Francine for the tour and the meal before heading into their home. They noticed that Moe wasn't home yet, and they decided to wait for Moe to get home before discussing Karen's decision about becoming the family were.

Marcus Gambini finally reached Morton, WA after walking for a couple of hours before catching a ride from a motorist. He thanked the motorist for the ride before getting to the bar where Vito was holing up. Marcus walked in and spotted Vito once his eyes adjusted to the light in the bar.
"About time you got here," Vito said, a bit sloshed from the whiskey. Marcus made his way to the bar and sat next to Vito.
"How long have you been here?" Marcus asked quietly.
"Long enough to get the lay of the land here in Washington," Vito paused as he took a swig of his drink, "And to learn that Albert is in jail with the boys in green."
"Christ," Marcus muttered, "Didn't he have the tracker?"
"Yeah," Vito slurred, "But from what I learned that stuff is pretty useless here. In Seattle, we could get a phone signal and track Moe's phone. However, once we get into the mountains, we lose the signal and becomes impossible to track Moe."
Marcus sighed and asked, "So, we've lost Albert and we can't track Moe. Any good news?"
"Well, as I've learned from my friend here, we can really narrow down our search to a few places in the mountains. There are a few places we can look." Vito pointed to a map of Washington. A few places were circled in red. "Here are the places where my colleagues think Moe's hiding. We'll rest here tonight and wait for thing to cool down before we get out of here."
Marcus studied the map a bit and asked, "Where should we go first?"
"How about here?" Vito asked as he pointed to a random red circle that happened to be Moon Lake.
Marcus smirked and replied, "Sounds good to me, boss."
