Anyway, it looks like Ellen's become a better shot. She's finally managed to put a hole in the little paper man at the end of the range. Should we bake her a cookie for this accomplishment? I doubt the woman eats carbs. I'll just pour her a congratulatory shot of whiskey. Salut!
Later, Wes tells Ellen he owes her an apology for asking her out last week. "I pushed you, it was wrong." Ellen says she's a big girl and can handle it. She toooottttally wants him. Wes says they shouldn't get involved, because of how they met. "And I was...um...this is awkward - I was wondering if I could ask out your friend," Wes says.
Ellen's all 'suuuuuure.' Ouch. We've all been that girl. Handing out your roommate's phone number to the cute guy at the party who you thought was flirting with you all night. Who hasn't been that girl? Am I the only one who's been that girl??
Wes walks down a dark alley to meet up with Grizzly Kurt. He says he hasn't met with Katie alone yet and has nothing to report. Grizzly has another dirty task in mind however - this one involving carting a trunk full of guns to Jersey. Wes says no and Grizzly laughs, creepily. "Did you just say no?" He asks.
Wes says he agreed to stalk Ellen Parsons, but he's done with this "other shit." "No. You're done when I say you are," Grizzly says, still smiling. Back story, please? No? Okay.
Finn is once again listening to douche techno music in his car when Hooker Susie gets in the front seat. Susie hands him some coke. Is this guy ever not doing coke, prostitutes or illegal trading activity? Seriously.
Finn offers Susie some drugs. "No, I'm getting clean for my kid," she says. Finn asks about the lawyer (Tommy) who was asking about him, and Susie says nothing - she hasn't talked to him.
Saving some for later
Tommy meets with his VIP sister in front of an ominous-looking stairwell. She tells him that if anyone finds out about the information she's about to reveal, she'll be disbarred. Jeez, dramatic, much?
She says she requisitioned the FBI file on Hewes and Associates. "Tom, there was no file." Say whaaaat? There's no record that the investigation even exists. Tommy looks about as confused as I feel. Also he looks kind of constipated, and should try some fiber for that.
"No file? That doesn't make any sense," Ellen is saying later at a meeting with Patty and Tommy. What happened to all of the other lawyers at this firm? Is it just these three now?
Tommy asks Ellen if she's sure the guys who approached her were legit. "Yeah, they were FBI," she says. But how do you really know, Ellen? Think hard. Were the badges they showed you actually the kind you get for being the 'Lil'st Sheriff' at Chucky Cheese? I know these things can be confusing...
"What is really going on with this investigation?" Ellen asks Dee and Dum later in her hotel room. She tells them that the FBI has no file on Patty Hewes.
Okay, which one of you used up the last of my Aqua Net? That's right, Van Peebles, I'm looking at you.
Dee and Dum share a conspiratorial look. "Do we tell her?" Dum asks. "I think it's time she knew the truth," Dee says. "We don't work for the FBI, Ellen. We work for the IPF," Dum continues. Ellen angrily asks what that is. "Interplanetary federation?" Dee says. "You never saw Men in Black?" Oh.My.God. Was that a....joke?? Oh, you rascally FBI agent, you.
Seriously, though. Good one, guys.
Ellen disagrees with my sentiment:
Iz not funnay
Then Dee explains that no, seriously, Patty has contacts at the justice department and they had to pull the file. "You better be telling me the truth," Ellen says. Or you'll do what, exactly? Throw an empty tequila bottle at them?
Later Dee and Dum walk down the street. "Well, she's smart," Dee says. Wait, are they talking about Ellen? That doesn't sound right. "I get that, but I don't like her," Dum says. Oh yeah, that must be Ellen. They wonder if they can trust her intel.
Susie is in a hotel room, putting in earrings and preparing for a hot date. Is "date" the correct term? Who knows what the kids are calling it. In my day, it was just a plain old "prostitution appointment." Not as sexy, but more to the point.

Thanks for the detailed blow by blow. I am obsessed with this show and all the details. I hope one day to be able to piece everything together and have, at least, an idea about what the hell is going on. The writers must be schizophrenic or on the road to it keeping track of all the details. It drives me to drink and Ive never wanted a Cadillac so badly in my life. Keep up the good work. I fell asleep during the last episode for about 6 or 7 minutes and without your recap I could have been forever lost. Can anyone please tell me if Patty is a good person or a bad person. That would be a good start. -thnx
