After giving a speech about “whether or not David is smart,” David puts his arms out and says that he’s ready to stand in front of Jake, man to man, and face his fate. Remember when he didn’t kill David and killed James instead? What a time! Now they’re in this parking garage, and all I can think is that Jake is going to be the real S.O.B.

Turns out Charlie’s real name is Bernard Gusky, which was only barely distinguishable through all of my tears because, guys. She’s here to marry Charlie, and Huck officiates. Mind you, Quinn and Charlie use it to make out and look at pictures of Robin, but the big moment is when Quinn takes off her jacket to reveal a white dress. They know what they’ve done, so all that the group asks is for Quinn and Charlie to have a moment together.
