Patty reminisces about her girlhood days, Frobisher's newly formed conscience retracts into his brain, and Uncle Pete makes his final farewell, for realz this time.
Well there goes the only sex symbol on this show.
A groggy Ellen wakes up in her hotel room and grabs her head. I know that look. That's the holy-crap-did-I-really-finish-that-whole-bottle-last-night-and-where-are-my-pants look. Girl, just take two Advil and don't check your phone to see who you drunk texted. Trust me - it's best to not know.
Ellen does get up and pop some pills, and something tells me they're a little stronger than Advil. And whatever, they are, they seem to have the unsettling side effects of seeing dead people. "Can't sleep?" a voice calls out. Ellen turns around and sees...David. Now I'm not a psychology major or anything, but seeing your dead fiancé...proooobably not a good sign.
David, dressed in his doctor scrubs, explains to Ellen that she's having a hallucination and her mind doesn't know if it's asleep or awake. Ellen's all 'oh, that's cool then. Please continue.'
"So I talked to God - he says what up by the way - and he sent me to come down and pass judgment on your pill-popping, FBI informin' ways. Shape up or ship out, yo."
Ellen apologizes and says David was right about everything. "No that's okay. I just wanted to know why you haven't opened your wedding present," he says. Um, because she already has a toaster? Thnx, though.
David gets out the pink-wrapped box and hands it to her, telling her it will make her laugh. Suddenly the phone rings. Ellen goes to answer it, and when she turns around, David is gone. That's the thing about ghosts/hallucinatory subconscious projections - they're not the most reliable bunch.
It's FBI Dum on the phone, telling Ellen that Uncle Pete tried to kill himself and is now in a hospital.
After the credits, we see Pete in hospital bed being watched over by a distraught Patty and Stefanya. "Why did Pete do this?" Patty asks. Stefanya explains about the two "clients" Pete brought home - Dee and Dum. Patty's mind starts to piece it together. I predict the FBI will go down hard for this one. Not just Dee and Dum - the entire federal bureau.
Aw, Stefanya and Pete have matching breathing tubes. Those must be like BFF bracelet charms for old people. Stefanya hands Patty Pete's final note.
Patty has a flashback to herself as a young girl. She looks much more carefree, and certainly less murderous then. Plus that cardigan is adorbs. In her memory, young Patty is playing in the yard when she hears her father come home and start screaming for his wife. In the distance we hear a younger Pete telling her father to leave. Young Patty hides behind a tree.
Ellen gets into a car with Dee and Dum again. They look pretty sheepish and rightfully so - they only had this one job and they effed it up pretty horrifically. They tell her they have surveillance in Pete's hospital room to monitor the situation. They hope they can still flip him if or when he wakes up. Considering that last time he was faced with the prospect of betraying Patty he chose to off himself, that seems like a pretty slim hope, guys. But, you know, keep on keepin' on.
Patty's husband Phil is meeting with Kendrick's number 2, Dave, at a fancy restaurant. Dave tells Phil that there's an opportunity with UNR stock, and he should jump on it. "You're gonna thank me some day," he says. He tells Phil that Kendrick has compiled a group of private investors who are going to pony up some capital. "There's a conflict of interest," Phil says. I think 'conflict of interest,' is a light way of saying 'my wife will cut off my balls in my sleep if she finds out I invested in UNR.'
"The stock will rise, the case will vanish," Dave presses.
Frobisher and his mystical Indian spirit guide walk through the field where he was shot. Frobisher remembers the incident and his spirit guide looks concerned.
"No, no, pashminas are coming back. BACK, I say!"
