Then we see Ellen pointing the gun in her hotel room, and Patty crying behind it: "Ellen, don't. It's not who you are." Okay, is that what Tom was trying to warn Patty about, or am I reading too much into it?
Dave and Kendrick are golfing. Actually, Dave's just watching Kendrick play. He doesn't have time for such nonsense, what with all of his going between and causing problems. Kendrick makes small talk about the energy secretary having a heart attack at his own wedding. He calls it pathetic. Dave says it was going to be his third marriage, so he knew what he was doing. As if third marriages cause heart attacks? I mean, maybe they do, but that seems like a weird comment that actually doesn't make any sense to me. He said it as if he was contradicting Kendrick's "pathetic" comment, but ... it didn't. And I don't even understand what it means. Maybe Dave is just too smart for me. Kendrick asks where they are on the search, and Dave says he's on the search committee (though judging from the rest of this episode, Dave is the search committee, not just "on" it) and is just beginning to look. Kendrick thinks that in this climate they're going to get some regulation crusader who thinks he's Eliot Ness. He wants Dave to use his pull. Dave's planning to, but in the meantime, he'd like to step up the frequency of their transactions. Kendrick says there are only so many times they can pull this off before someone starts to notice. Dave asks if he's getting cold feet, but Kendrick says he's not. Dave: "Good. Then get the information to my trader." I am having a really hard time even summoning the energy to care what these guys are up to.
Tom storms into Patty's office when she's alone and gives her hell for not telling him sooner about the FBI investigation. He says she had no right, since he's a partner and vulnerable too. She agrees that he is, so she says he should calm down and figure out what to do about this. He asks who she can talk to with an "in" at the FBI. She can't risk exposing herself, so he says he'll make a call.
