Rescued from 25 pages of recap on www.televisionwithoutpity.com:
"Down at the office of the Dentist (of Doom), MacOrson surveys Mike's x-rays and asks if maybe Mike did time in prison? According to MacOrson, "jailhouse dentistry" is "unmistakable and not pretty." Mike readily confesses that he did "a little time in Kansas." Mike wonders if MacOrson ever did any dentist work in prison. MacOrson picks up a terrifyingly huge needle, and the way the camera holds on it, lovingly, makes me think that it's somehow going to play a big part in some scene yet to come. But unless that scene is in Season 3, you can just forget about it. MacOrson: "During dental school, we did freebie work on some of the poor guinea pigs behind bars, no offense." Which reminds Mike: when they met in the movie theater, he thought he might recognize MacOrson from somewhere. MacOrson very casually pulls his paper mask up over his mouth and nose, and denies ever meeting Mike. Mike can't help himself; he starts prodding and poking into MacOrson's past. Is it possible that they met when Mike was incarcerated in Kansas? MacOrson says that the "only prison work did was in Virginia." Mike pointedly looks at MacOrson's diploma, which is oh-so-conveniently posted right there in the examination room, and it reveals MacOrson as a graduate of a dental school in Minnesota. Like an idiot, Mike points out the discrepancy, and MacOrson coolly (sinisterly?) replies that he's "licensed in three states"). Then MacOrson pulls out the huge needle and says, "Don't talk. I don't want to hurt you." And the "Mark These Words" music swells."
So Mike was figuring out that Orson's story wasn't hanging together, and Orson wanted Mike out of the picture....
