New location! The Gentlemen's Gold Club. Ooh, classy. Kima's parked outside, watching the door, when Prez comes out -- again in the windbreaker, unfortunately -- and climbs into the shotgun seat beside her. "Russians?" asks Kima, getting straight to the point. "Lotta girls," says Prez. "Pretty ones. Most of them had some kind of accent, anyway." Kima comments that Shardene's friend did a good job hooking them up, and asks Prez who's in charge. Prez enumerates "the club people," and an older-looking woman he saw go into the back room, not that he got close enough to have much to say about her: "She looks about forty." So, if she is from some currently impoverished former Soviet republic, that would make her...twenty-six? Kima: "So. Grab any ass, Prez?" Poor old Prez can't even joke about it, he looks so terrified at the mere question. And it's kind of a waste, because he's just the sort of innocent-looking doofus girls are always offering to throw a free lapdance to.
Daniels is on the front stoop of his house with Marla, telling her he's sorted things out for them. He says that when he was in Evidence Control, it made sense for him to quit: "But once Burrell reached out--" Marla interrupts to remind Daniels that he crossed Burrell, who isn't likely to forget: "Not to mention what he knows about you from the bad old days." OH MY GOD, WHAT?! I swear to god, the teasing about this reveal is KILLING ME. Marla crabs, "Fools half your age are gonna be Major and Colonel, and you'll still think that scratching out a case or two will save you." Daniels doesn't thank Marla for having his back on this, but spits that he knows his ascension through the ranks, if it happens, isn't going to be about casework. Marla smirks. Daniels tells Marla about getting called in to see Rawls, and asked to take the Jane Does, and how he refused: "If I'm looking out for number one, I'm gonna bring Burrell exactly what he asked for, and exactly what he needs to make Stan Valchek go away. No more, no less. I'm playing their game this time." Marla looks dubious. I'm telling you, she and Cheryl should just hook up. Marla would make a great mom!
