Di meets Denby outside. He goes, "I like to think of this as our spot." She says, "You don't let a day go by, do you." What? "Without you looking bagged." He goes, "A day without getting loaded is a day wasted." Wow, remind me to get that embroidered on a pillow sometime. They pass on the small talk, Denby makes a big show of spitting out a mint - Patooie! - and he says he saw her outside the diner. Di loses her patience and asks if he knows how stupid this conversation sounds. Imagine writing it down! Now that's stupid. Denby says he liked it when Di watched him drink and she leaves him in disgust. He goes, and Baldwin stealthily follows. I love it when Baldwin's around, but it's also nice to see him leave, if you know what I mean.
Di bursts back into the office and yells, "What an asshole. Coffee?" Sip gets glowerly until John recognizes that that's his cue to leave. "May I feed your fish?" Sip says yeah, but "be careful!" Di tells Sip that Denby knows she knows something. Sip suggests that maybe Denby is working with Don now. Di goes, "Oh god! Oh god!" In walks Kirky. What's the matter? On the spot, Di and Sip make up a fake story about her cousin getting a speeding ticket that the trooper wouldn't take back. What a jerk, ANYWAYS. Di whispers to Sip that Baldwin's following Denby and that it's too soon to tell Kirky. Sip, as a nod to the late twentieth century, says, "Duh." Di says she'll tell Ricky now.
In the coffee room, Ricky makes a big deal about when she brought him coffee. Di tells him all about Don and Denby and says it's a "mess. There was no point handing you a bag." Ricky, using his brain, says, "It looks like Denby lied." Where's Sip to say duh when you need him? Di says -- say it with her -- ANYWAYS.
