Ed's Whole Furniture

Ed's Whole Furniture is a Devils Lake strip mall furniture store. In season 2, it is revealed that the store is owned and operated by Maudlings as a front for selling ecstasy.

Radio Commercial
Early in season 2, Suzy Tan notices that teenagers have started inexplicably hanging out in the parking lot of a nondescript strip mall. When she sees a former classmate wearing an Ed's Whole Furniture t-shirt, she asks her friend Tracer about it. He explains that the furniture store has started airing a radio commercial that's so poorly written and acted that kids have decided it's funny to act like they're huge fans of the store, referring to it jokingly as "Ed's Hole". After showing Suzy the commercial, she agrees that it's pretty funny and that they should go hang out at the store to see if it's fun. In season 3, it's revealed that the radio commercials actually contain subliminal messages that compel teenagers to seek out the store and that claiming to like the store ironically is a confabulatory attempt to explain this subconscious compulsion after the fact.

Ecstasy Sales
Suzy and Tracer follow a group of teenagers to an alley behind the store. There a store employee, who is hairless and behaves very strangely, tries to sell them some ecstasy pills. Suzy and Tracer refuse, suspecting him to be an undercover cop, but some of the other teens follow through with the purchase. Later, Tracer offers Suzy some ecstasy pills, which she recognizes as the same pills being sold at Ed's Whole Furniture. She yells at him for buying pills from someone other than her and he apologizes, explaining that they were given to him by a friend who claims they are a higher potency than anything Suzy herself sells. Suzy is still suspicious and refuses to take the pills.

DEA Investigation
Midway through season 2, DEA Agent Rashad Jones learns from Nurse Hope Conners that many of the poisoned teenagers purchased their tainted ecstasy from nearby Ed's Whole Furniture. Rashad interviews the unnamed Maudling store employee and becomes increasingly suspicious throughout the course of the interview. Just as he's about to demand access to the store's backroom, he receives a phone call from DEA Division Supervisor Vince Wallace ordering him to leave immediately to follow up on another lead at the truck stop on the other side of town. Rashad finds nothing at the truck stop and later expresses suspicions to DEA Agent Ahmed Rahman that Vince was complicit in covering something up.

Fire
After Tracer becomes traumatized by the ecstasy pills, Suzy seeks revenge by sabotaging the emergency sprinkler system, covering the roof with gasoline-soaked sponges, and hammer-throwing a lit fire spinning poi onto the roof. The store burns down, inadvertently thwarting Rashad and Ahmed's plans for a secret raid the following night.
