[Dean would get on Phil's ass about not keeping contact with people when they're probably not doing so hot or when he's feeling non-confrontational, but that would be a gross use of hypocrisy. He does some quick math in his head, remembers that all this happened around five days ago, and settles in to hear the story.

...and what a fucked-up story it is.

Quite familiar with Clarence's impeccable impression of Philip LaFresque, he's not really surprised that Evelyn fell for it. But Clarence's grand day out, on something that sounds suspiciously like a date (Which Dean will gladly pester Philip about later, you can be sure of that), seems to have ended in a surprising lack of bloodshed and tears.

This is great news and all but it's still really weird, and Dean's confusion is plastered all over his face.]

So...lemme get this straight. He wined and dined her, got himself a little nookie before the big reveal and then let her go?

[The real question being:]

Why?
