Testimonials

And now, for some exposition, we go back to Patty and Pete. Patty is holding the cardboard box of documents and explains to Pete that Purcell was doing some sort of chemical analysis. She asks to get the box to "our guy at Colombia." The phone rings, it appears Sam Arsenault is on his way up.

Doctor Rudy/Ernie leads an unseen individual into Frobisher's hospital room, saying "this is going to do him a world of good." Frobisher's on pain medication, unconscious. The doctor addresses the mystery guest as Mrs. Frobisher, and then smiles at...Ellen. Who goes and locks the hospital room door. She stares at Frobisher, bearded and unconscious. She has flashbacks to when Floppy-hair proposed to her, and then stares at Frobisher some more. She hears Olyphant's voice talking about forgiveness and revenge, and tears form in her eyes. Frobisher stirs.

Ellen is leaving the hospital room, and we hear a beeping that sounds like a heart monitor flatlining. But it's just the musical score, confusing us. Frobisher wakes up and is fine. The doctor walks in and Frobisher asks "is she here yet?"

Sam Arsenault is telling Patty that the charges couldn't be dropped. His campaign is dead in the water. The elephants are apparently backing another horse. A lot of weird, Animal Kingdom imagery going on this episode...Sam brings up the foundation, practically begs Patty to be let back in. Patty says she already promised away the naming rights. "It can't be the Arsenault-Hewes Foundation?" he asks. Patty says no. "I wish I could help you," she adds. "There's got to be something I could do," Sam says.

Cut to the foundation's gala, now named "Hewes/Arsenault Foundation," where Patty explains to the press that Sam "generously decided to double our endowment." Ha.

Michael comes up and greets his mom, looks at Sam. "Look at him celebrating while his daughter's being sent to juvie," he says. "I told you she was a cokehead." "Yeah, yeah you did," Patty says. Double ha.

Tom and Ellen come up to congratulate Patty, ask her if she plans on taking a case now. She says she likes the infant mortality case. "Nice find, Ellen. It's a great case." Daniel and his wife come up to say hello to Patty. Daniel apologizes about the other night, says he doesn't want to drag Patty into his situation, and he can handle it himself. He asks for the materials back from Patty. She says she'll send them and he hands her a business card with his home address. "I promise you'll never have to see me again."

Ellen is walking down the streets alone at night, again. Seriously, for someone who has people try to kill her every other episode, she's not the brightest tool in the shed. Sure enough, someone comes up behind her and says, "Hey!" It's Olyphant. "Jesus!" Ellen yells. She asks if he's stalking him now. He says no, but evidence points to the contrary. He says he was just concerned and gives her a phone number, telling her to ask for Frank. Apparently, Frank is a gun dealer. Awesome, just what this show needs. More firearms.

"I've been thinking about this whole revenge thing," Ellen says. "It's not me, it's not who I am." Tell that to the FBI. But she doesn't.

Seriously, I'm not crazy. Why won't you belieeeeeve meeeeee?

Instead, she goes to the FBI to get a shiny new cell phone recording device. "You don't want to talk too much. That's the biggest mistake people make, when they get nervous, they talk." Not me, I just drop more f-bombs. Makes for some awkward job interviews...Ellen says she understands and tells Dee and Dum to relax.

Ellen sits at a table in the bar, and clicks the "on" button for her new recording cell phone toy. Patty comes up and remarks about the wine Ellen bought. "So you wanted to tell me something," Ellen says. I know she thinks she's being smooth, but I just have this gut feeling that Patty can see right through her bad-girl eyeliner routine.

Patty says that she didn't explain everything during the Frobisher case. "It's important for you to know this," she says. "I want to apologize." "Apologize for what?" Ellen asks. Patty begins. "The weekend after Fisk committed suicide, his death had a profound effect on me. It pushed me to a place that I had never been to before. I became too emotional. I was afraid of being exposed, of losing the case. I lost control. I had to leave the city." We flash back to Patty leaving Ellen in the apartment.
