Play It Again, Sam

Wes is playing pool with Katie and Ellen. Katie's flirting with him, as Ellen sits and coolly watches. Wes makes cute about how he's pretending to not be good at pool so that he can win big later. She knocks a ball in, apparently proving to him and the world how good she is, so he acknowledges that maybe he is just terrible. Katie's going to get a club soda, and asks if anyone needs anything. No one does, but Wes tells her that staying off the sauce is smart, so she can stay sharp when he mounts his comeback. Despite the really ridiculous repartee, these two actually have much more chemistry than Ellen and Wes, but that might be because a) Katie smiles and b) Katie's not anorexic. Wes apologizes to Ellen for being a third wheel, but she says "No, it's fine." And she does sort of half smile, but it's forced.

Patty's looking sadly at herself in a mirror when Phil walks up behind her and asks how she's doing. He is apparently not good at interpreting his wife's facial expressions, so he must ask this question even though we can all see the answer is: not good. He says his instinct is to cancel the dinner party they're hosting, but that it might be nice for her to have some friends around. She says that's fine. He asks if they know how Uncle Pete died, and she says the hospital is still investigating, but she thinks he killed himself or had someone help him do it, because he was trying to protect her. Phil tells her to look at him. He tells her to drop the UNR case (hmmm ... is this because he actually cares about Patty, or because he is now invested in the freaking company? Again: IDIOT.), but she says she can't do that. He says she's confirmed the FBI is targeting her, and she says yes, and as far as she's concerned, they killed Uncle Pete. They're trying to intimidate her and get her to back down. Phil asks who "they" are and she says the FBI, the government, Walter Kendrick, and UNR, who are all the same to her. He thinks she's paranoid, but she says they're closing in on her: They approached Ellen, and Pete. Phil says, "And look what happened." He asks her again to "Please stop." She says no. She's not going to let them get away with it. Man, is this ever going to get ugly when she finds out what he's up to himself with UNR.

Ellen's in a tiny office with her grief counseling group leader. She asks why the leader wanted to see her. Group leader is concerned about what's going on between Ellen and Wes. She can see they're getting close, and thinks maybe they should come to different sessions from now on. Ellen just sits there, solemn. Group leader says she's spoken to Wes, who agreed. She says it's not healthy. Ellen asks if the leader thinks it's too soon after David. Group leader says they're filling a need for each other that's based on grief, which can be emotionally dangerous. Ellen says that loneliness can be too. Group leader says jumping into a relationship just to fill the loneliness won't help. Ellen smirks, all, 'You just watch; I don't have to listen to you.'
