The boss says the investigation is strictly "need to know" since the deputy director said it was. "Stop whining and go out and get me something on Patty Hewes," the boss says. He has important things to do, teeny folders to file.
Kendrick is, once again, golfing. This time he's sporting a white Michael Jackson-style glove and hanging out with Middleman. Middleman says Idaho is their best bet. "Is the plant manager willing to play ball?" Kendrick asks. Middleman says yes, definitely. I'm recapping verbatim, here. I have no more friggin clue what all this means than you do. Are they even speaking recognizable English sentences right now? What the hell's in Idaho?
Then Middleman says that they plan to shut down supply in the middle of the winter to drive up home heating prices in Idaho. Dude, that's fucking cold. (Pun.)
Hooker Susie is talking to Patty and Tommy, this time in an official away-from-the-motel-room-and-wearing-an-actual-shirt capacity. I barely recognized her. She tells them that before she and Finn were arrested, he made a stop at an SUV. Patty asks what kind. Why, a CADILLAC, of course!!
That's all Susie can remember. After all that work and undercover time for Tommy, she turned out to be not so much helpful. Eh, you win some, you lose some. As Susie gets up to go, Patty tells her that she had a nice chat with her family court judge, who is now sympathetic to joint custody. I love it when hookers get a happy ending.
Then we see Freaky Darrell Hammond get into the Cadillac and input some more numbers into the navigation. Do they stand for Idaho?
Phil meets with Dave and they discuss Sam Arsenault. "He's got pipes," Dave says. And gams, ooh boy. Dave thanks Phil for the introduction, but says they're leaning in a different direction now for the position. What position would that be? Why, one that you would fit into very easily, Phil! (No, not missionary). Yes, I'm not sure if the whole meet-and-greet with Sam was a ploy, but it seems our man Phil is the one Dave really wants.
Phil politely demurs, but you can tell he's flattered. He says he hates politics, but Dave continues to woo him with his smooth-talking ways. He's like butter, that one. Phil says he'll consider it, but he's not making any promises.
Patty charges into the office of Dee and Dum's Boss, spitting nails. She says she holds the FBI responsible for the death of Pete McKee. Not factually accurate, but I still like where she's going with this. "You can tell whoever's calling the shots in Washington that I'm onto them," she says. "The Bureau may be watching me but I'm also watching you." But who watches the Watchmen? (Sorry, again.)
The Boss tells Patty to check her tone, and she leans in, dangerously. "This investigation is corrupt," she says. Also it's very slow, and run by two idiots. "You don't want to threaten me," the Boss says. "I don't make threats," Patty replies. "This is war." Oooh, soundbite!
Wes is in his kitchen, pouring a beer for a mystery guest, who turns out to be...Katie. I like how he didn't even ask her out on a real date - he knew they would have probably ended up back at his place anyway, so why put on your good pants and actually leave the house?
"Hope you like PBR! Only the best for the ladies who visit my casa."
Then they start the least-hot convo ever - David asks why Katie never went to therapy and she says it's not her thing. Not enough drugs. Then Wes very non-subtly brings up the topic of Frobisher and Katie, although she said she wouldn't, proceeds to spill her guts. She tells him that they know Frobisher's got the police in his pocket, and suspect the police of having something to do with the murder. "You know what, I'd really rather not talk about this," Katie eventually says, after she's said everything important, of course.
Then Wes says it's just that he worries about Ellen. He gets a very loyal, golden retriever-type look on his face, and Katie calls him out for having feelings for Ellen. Looks like she put on her push up bra for nothing.
Finn gets into a Cadillac and inputs some navigation numbers. Just as I suspected (and you can't entirely credit my foresight, as I am recapping an episode I already watched...but anyway) he writes down the numbers and the word "Idaho." This shit better start making sense soon.

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
