Bert says Annalise told him that the meat smelled funny, he told her not to use it and called the manufacturer who said the whole batch was dodgy. He didn't call Annalise back because he needed to warn other customers first, as Annalise had already said she wasn't going to use it.

Cheryl says it's very annoying being stuck here, she could strangle Mark Gottlieb.

CHERYL: Those theme nights could have been a major attraction. As it is, we'll probably only attract a few alcoholics to happy hour!

MARK: One unfortunate incident?! What about last week Bert, the beef was disgusting!
BERT: I don't know what your problem is.
MARK: My problem is your contaminated meat, how many people do you need to poison before you get the message?
BERT: Right, that's it! I told you I'd talk to my lawyer, now I'm doing it. I'll take you down Gottlieb! Count on it!
