I can not understand the highlighted portion

It was some ungodly hour of the night, but I rang Cassie’s mobile anyway.
“Are you all right?” she said, sounding tousled and sleepy.
“I’m fine. I’ve got something, Cass.”
She yawned. “Jesus. This better be good, dickface. What time is it?”
“I don’t know. Listen. Sometime that summer, Peter and Jamie and I saw Jonathan Devlin and his friends raping a girl.”

"This better be good" = "This had better be good". His call needs to be important (to justify waking her at that time of night).

  • "This better be good" = "This had better be good".

You can't keep giving your threads the same, almost identical title.

The title for this should have been "I can't understand This better be good" or simply This better be good.
