When he wakes up, his head doesn't hurt. His first thought:

There was tequila. My head doesn't hurt. That's strange.

Cooper's head moves on the pillow. He sees wrappers scattered on the nightstand. When he looks the other way, he sees a blonde head.

His second thought:

"Thank you. I appreciate it."



He could take this to Harry. He might. But there's Josie to consider, and --

"Damn," Cooper says aloud to the empty apartment, and goes to take a shower before heading to the station.
