Plot
This installment shows how Orson becomes a hired assassin for his boss and mentor, Aaron Olds, who discovered Orson's infidelity to his wife, Eliza. Because his Mormon faith forbids such infidelity, Aaron forces Orson to kill to atone for his sins. Orson murders a key client of William's, Brayton Jennings, who works at the FDA, which failed to approve a new sugar substitute that causes cancer. Now William must resolve this by contacting Marty, one of his associates.
The van that crashes into William's house doesn't harm him, but it's an event that will trigger a series of situations that will complicate his life. This van was full of undocumented immigrants, whom Marty likes to hire. Marty is a perverted millionaire.>
William's wife, Marnie, is considering killing him on the advice of a hater chat group on social media.
The narrative of this comic has a fast-paced, non-linear structure, making the reading experience an adventure where you must connect all the dots, becoming an accomplice of the writer.

It took me a bit to remember who was who from the first issue, but once I got it, it was back to a hell of a chaotic issue. It's just so absurd that I really enjoy it.
