Outside, Eli meets with the judge, who wastes little time in telling him that his son-in-law is a "wannabe developer," and that it would mean the world to him to partner with an Arvin Salinsky. He tells Eli how "appreciative" he'd be if Eli would introduce his son-in-law to Salinsky. Eli tells the judge that he doesn't enjoy "that kind of relationship" with Salinsky. Eli, he just wants you to put the two of them together. It doesn't have to be in a bathhouse. He goes on about the "serious breach of ethics," but the judge merely laughs and points out that with Eli's recent trouble with the bar, no one's likely to believe an accusation coming from him. The judge bids him good afternoon, and I'm no expert, but shouldn't this meeting have taken place in an underground parking garage?
Eli's back with Chen, who notes that Eli whines quite a bit. It's a lot more palatable coming from someone that cute, though. Sad but true. Eli notes that bribing a judge doesn't seem like a very divine plan, but Chen has a broader (and laughable, but I don't have the energy) view of the whole thing that's interrupted by another fake earthquake. Eli rushes to open a door...and sees Patti up at the front of a shaking church. He calls to her, and she turns...and says, "Dude, you've gotta calm down!" in Chen's voice. Heh. The stained-glass windows blow out, and then Chen plucks Eli's sleeve from behind, snapping him out of the vision. Chen notes that this is the first time he's seen Eli actually having a vision. "It's intense, bro!"
