    This is the Bank of Burgers, where Amy was working in the dark timeline. The waitress here is Melanie Soap, who was Amy’s coworker here in the dark timeline, and it seems still works here in the fixed one. Melanie used to work for Amy at Bric-a-Brac, but, at some point between “Team Spirit” and “Forked Road”, Amy lost her to “the Tackleford artisanal burger scene” (which is where we find her now), thus creating the job opening that Shauna filled.

    Back in Scary Go Round, Melanie briefly dated Ryan, after he saved her from the fire that destroyed the original Bric-a-Brac (caused by the old women who were running the place in the dark timeline) in “Chilton Takes Charge” (which was the storyline the flashback at the end of “Forked Road” flashed back to), until the postman-smuggling-ring-pirate-ghost-gunplay incident in “The Cove”, for which Melanie’s father blamed Ryan, despite Melanie being the one doing all the shooting.

    We’ve all been there before, Shauna. Some thoughts just don’t want to stay thoughts.

    When George Harrison travelled he would often use the alias “Mr. Hughes” to avoid recognition.

    I hate the dead fish handshake. I once shook a young guy’s hand and could feel the bones in his hand shifting around, Creepy.

    Not an easy situation for either party.

    Awkward. Might as well name the elephant right off.

    Glenn shakes with his left hand. I’ve mostly only seen people do that if their right hands were missing or paralyzed.
