Robert, are you joking? I'm pretty sure there are no bodegas near Oak Beach. If they were going to a "bodega" I'd imagine the nearest store of this type would be in Babylon. But a 24 hour bodega that sells spice? I would bet the only 24 hour deli's in Babylon or anywhere in that area are 7-11's.
My Noo Yawker is showing. I call all kinds of newsstands, tobacco shops, head shops and delis "bodegas". All I know is something prompted a psychotic break after 4am and they had made a run obtain something around 2:30am. SG arrived at 2am and after awhile they seemingly determined they didn't have a substance one or both of them wanted. So they drove locally to get it. The time line tells us this.
It is of course possible that they turned up empty handed and she smoked something Brewer had lying around. Maybe she smoked nothing. SG was bipolar and not taking her meds. But they had clearly made an effort to get something nearby.
From Lost Girls:
Brewer was game. Michael had gotten a glimpse of him earlier, when he’d come out to open the gate, and about twenty minutes after that, when Brewer and Shannan left the house in his car to run an errand. Shannan had cleared it with Michael beforehand; he assumed it was to buy drugs.
Pak appears to support this scenario.
I think the call to CVS is an important clue. It's possible Dr. Hackett wrote a prescription for an opiate like Roxy and they called to see if the CVS had it in stock.
I don't understand how Hackett factors into this at all. He would have to had written a physical script for an opioid ASSUMING he had the necessary NYS controlled substance prescription forms. Why and when would he have done this, assuming he could?
"Gilbert’s cell phone records, provided by family and posted on a website dedicated to solving the case, show this:A call, lasting no more than a minute, to a 24-hour CVS in nearby West Islip at 2:55 a.m. Between 2:57 a.m. and 4:09 a.m., there were six short calls made between Gilbert and Pak, her driver, some outgoing, some incoming."

Again from Lost Girls:
Shannan called Michael after she and Brewer returned. She wanted him to go to a pharmacy for baby oil, K-Y jelly, and playing cards, all typical tools of the trade that helped an escort draw out the length of a date; when you’re on coke, playing cards makes the time fly by. Michael didn’t want to do it. The CVS was too far away, all the way across Great South Bay."
Not that anything in this case is straightforward but I think we are making things even more complicated than necessary. SG wanted baby oil, K-Y and playing cards.
