“Deadly Class” goes to Vegas in “Saudade,” which starts off like any other episode, corkscrews into trippy chaos and ends with a game changing death. Marcus, Billy, Saya, Maria and Willie go on a road trip to Las Vegas, which Billy uses as an opportunity to try to murder his abusive father. Marcus has a personal encounter while high on acid and Maria makes a decision that changes everything.
Psychedelia | Marcus, Saya, Billy, Willie and Maria somehow get ahold of a convertible and trek to Las Vegas, but stop at a gas station that’s crawling with hippies. While Billy gets a blowjob from a hippie chick, Saya and Maria do cocaine in the girls room, while Willie and Marcus spend all their money on defective drugs. When the girls buy new drugs for the group, Marcus is so confident that they’ll bust, that he takes seven of them!

And thus begins the longest acid trip in television history, as Marcus hallucinates everything from a neon clown giving him advice, to an animated snake eating human remains.
Not to mention Marcus spouting gibberish for all 40 minutes of the episode. Oh, and he tries to win money from a slot machine that speaks in Ice-T’s voice (And yes, it’s actually Ice-T) and gets busted for his fake ID by security. Master Lin arrives and at first, Marcus thinks he’s screwed, but turns out that Lin was never there and he’s just tripping his face off.
Who Do You Love | As Marcus watches “Ghostbusters” in the hotel room, Billy sneaks next door to his father’s room and tries to strangle him. When Marcus intervenes, Billy’s dad falls and dies when his head hits the table, causing Billy to have a meltdown. As Marcus goes to the elevator to cool down, he is greeted by the burned face guy, who we now know is named Chester, who wants to kill him right there, but, and I quote, “That won’t get me on Donoghue.” Huh.
Marcus vents his fear to Maria and also spots her passport. She confesses her desire to escape Chico and run away and seconds later, they start making out. Before they can go any further, however, Chico storms into the room, having followed the road trip, and fires a gun at them before chasing Marcus out of the room and beating the crap out of him in a convience store.
Fear and Loathing | Marcus does what any guy being chased by a psychopath would do: Hide in a dumpster! That naturally doesn’t last long and Chico gets ready to kill him, when the others come to his aid. Billy tries to talk Chico out of killing Marcus, which goes as well as cement shoes in water, when Chico stabs him. Willie grabs Chico’s gun and points it at his head, but can’t pull the trigger. As Chico snatches the gun back and gets ready to kill Marcus, Maria slits Chico’s throat with her razor sharp fan. The gang scrams to a backdoor hospital, while Chester sees Chico’s body and quotes Shakespeare. Huh. As the gang drive back to San Francisco, Saya enviously watches Maria kiss Marcus.
