Flat Pinky Finger will not re-hide

Everything else works. Works great, in fact. This is attached to a prim hand with 2 fingers and a thumb, each with 4 states. When I switch to the 'flat' hand, it works. But when I switch to anything else, away from the flat-hand, the flat 'pinky' refuses to re-hide. Maybe it's just late and I'm tired, but I cannot see why.

Coding suggestions are welcome. If I knew how to steer away from all these if-else statements, I would do so. I also don't know how to post in php-code.

Anyone know why my flat-pinky-finger won't re-hide?
