Then we see Kendrick at an art gallery, looking at an abstract painting. He has his "thinking" face on. Dave sidles up next to him and Kendrick tells him that the merger is going through. Yay? Dave hands over the keys to the new Caddy. Then they proceed to make fun of the art they're looking at. "This piece of shit is a waste of canvas," Kendrick says. Kendrick prefers to paint through the canvas of life with chemical toxins and murder as his brushes. Metaphor!
Later Kendrick is in the lobby of the ballet with a blonde who I assume is his wife. She leaves him there and tells him not to smoke. As soon as she's gone he pulls out a cigar. Sneaky! "Walt Kendrick!" We hear a voice says. And it's....
Frobisher!!! He's up and talking, beardless.
"Let me give you some advice about being the villain on this show. Does not end well."
Frobisher makes embarrassing small talk. He says he could never get into ballet. "You think, what could go wrong with a pretty girl in a leotard? But that body type does nothing for me. I like them a little meatier." Oh, Frobisher. Never change. Kendrick is not pleased with this conversation. 'You are a douche,' is written all over his face. He tells Frobisher he likes the ballet. Oh. Awkward.
Frobisher congratulates Kendrick on his merger. Then he brings up Patty Hewes and her recent mudslinging television appearance. Only Frobisher used a different term than "mud." I will not repeat it here, because I am a lady. (It was 'shit.') "Well, take this from me," Frob says. He then tells Kendrick not to engage Patty. "You step into the ring with that woman and she will cut your balls off and jam them down your throat." Fun. Frobisher walks away and Kendrick gets out his phone. "Claire it's me. Sue the bitch," he says, walking away.
But that's the opposite of what Frobisher advised!
Tommy is filling Patty in on Busty's illustrious background. She's spent the last 18 years at UNR "kicking ass," Tommy says. Also busting balls, professionally. "Kendrick championed Maddox. He took her under his wing." His wing? Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
"That's not all. There's rumors," Tommy says. He's been reading his Gossip Girl messages, and girl, you will not believe what they say about Busty. Prepare to be stunned.
"The relationship between Kendrick and Maddox is less than professional." Oh. Well, duh. Geez, Tommy, my 9-year-old sister could have probably filled you in on that.
Just then a very quaffed young man walks into the office and supplies Patty with papers. He's all, "YOU'VE BEEN SERVED, BITCH!" Only less aggressive and 50 percent more gay. Turns out UNR is suing Patty for 200 million dollars.
In a much more depressing scene, Ellen walks into her old apartment, which is covered in boxes. She wanders around sad, aimless and way too skinny. We know the girl's been throwing back the bottle, but has she eaten at all since last season? Ellen continues to have sad flashbacks to happy days with He of The Floppy Hair. Then she sees the bathroom and has flashbacks to dead, bloody-in-the-bathtub Floppy Hair.
Ellen shuts the bathroom door and when she turns around the president of the co-op board is standing creepily in her apartment. He has a package that came for her. Ellen pulls out a wrapped, girly-looking box. Must be from Floppy Hair. And, yup, she reads the note - "When the Frobisher case is over, I'm taking you away somewhere with palm trees. I love you. Always, David." Wow, that's got to be a kick to the ole' emotional nut sack. I wouldn't blame Ellen for taking a fifth of Jack Daniels out of her purse at this moment.
Tommy is defending Patty against Busty and Kendrick while a judge presides. Busty says there's no way Patty can prove that Kendrick killed Christine Purcell. Point, Busty. Patty stays icily quiet while Tommy backs her up. "The man who was arrested for Christine Purcell's murder, Kevin Walker, was killed in prison," Tommy says. Point, Tommy. Speaking of - and this applies to later in the episode too - you want to know what's not a good way to cover up a murder? Another murder. Cuz then you'll have to cover up that murder, and the next, and...it's just a vicious cycle of murder, really, and it's eating up all of the show's guest stars.

I'm glad you mentioned that Ellen is getting too skinny. A couple episodes ago she was wearing a sleeveless blue & black ensemble and I swear her upper arm looked the same size as her wrist. Someone needs to put down the bottle and pick up some burgers.
