The mediator tries to push for a settlement. "I think Mr. Shays should consider this," Busty says. "If he can't prove my client is responsible, the jury is going to ram a 200 million dollar bill up his client's ass." Patty smiles. She and Kendrick stare each other down. It is awesome.
Later, a chipper Patty shares dinner with Ellen at the office. Ellen, or course assumes her signature pose:
"No noodles, thanks. I've got all the nutrients I need right here."
The two women eat takeout and chat about boys. Which means that Ellen nostalgically brings up how her dead fiancé used to cook for her, and Patty mentions that Phil's out of town (in London??) Girls, girls, if there's one thing I learned from the cinema this weekend, it's that if he's sleeping with some trashy girl named after a British metropolis, and if he's not returning your calls from beyond the grave, He's Just Not That Into You.
The women then talk about what Kendrick might be up to. Which is convenient, because we next see a large black car pull up in front of Freaky Darrell and who else should roll down the window but Dirty Old Man Kendrick himself. He tells Freaky Darrell to use the keys (to the Cadillac?) and hands him a slip of paper with what looks like navigation points on it. Either that, or it's his birthday - 11.12.02. So Kendrick's a Scorpio?? That explains so much.
Katie and Ellen are walking and chatting in outside Manhattan, discussing the Mustache Cop situation. Then Ellen tells Katie that she went back to the apartment. She tells her about the package, which she hasn't opened yet. It was a wedding present. Ellen pulls it out. She carries it with her? That's a little damaged.
Then we cut to Busty and Kendrick, also walking and talking. Busty tells Kendrick that Patty's real goal may be to drive the stock prices down so that she can file a lawsuit on behalf of one of the company's shareholders. You're always one step behind, Busty. Kendrick doesn't believe one of his shareholders will follow Patty. Busty still thinks they should settle the defamation suit before Patty finds a willing plaintive. Kendrick, dumbly, is all "no, she picked this fight." Dumbass.
Busty takes him aside and tries to convince him to neutralize the situation. "Walt, everyone's got dirty laundry. Do you really want Patty Hewes going through yours?" If she did, this is probably what she would find:
Yes, this photo bore reposting
Kendrick thinks about this.
Elsewhere, Katie is hanging out outside of the International Affairs Bureau. She heads inside and we can see Grizzly Kurt, the baddest of bad cops, watching her from a parked car.
4 MONTHS LATER. Grizzly Kurt is again in a parked car, this time watching Ellen as she goes into her hotel. He goes inside the hotel and walks down Ellen's creepy hall. He stops at room 1910. He's holding a room key.
Back in the present tense, we're at a fancy restaurant with Kendrick and a few friends. Busty makes an appearance and takes a seat next to a gentleman named Mitch. Kendrick introduces them. I smell a set-up! Only of the blind date, and not of the secret murder, variety.
They share rich white dude anecdotes and Busty slays Mitch with her witty comebacks. Also probably with her DD's. A hot waiter puts down a Manhattan in front of Mitch. "I ordered an Old Fashioned," Mitch says, dickishly. There's a reason everyone should work in foodservice at least once in their life. "He ordered an Old Fashioned," Busty says firmly. The waiter takes the drink.
Busty and Kendrick go to talk privately at the bar. "I'd have worn a shorter skirt if I knew I was getting pimped out," Busty says. Ha. I kind of like Busty. Busty says she'll give Mitch a chance if Kendrick gives her an answer about the settlement. "Okay, settle," Kendrick says. That was...anticlimactic.
At Ellen's place, Katie tells Ellen that she filed a complaint against Mustache Cop. Ellen thinks trusting the police is a bad idea. Ellen brings up all the information she's gathered on Mustache Cop, aka Elliot Tolkein. She says someone in the department is protecting him. Ellen says Patty's the only one who can help trace him to Frobisher.

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.
