The schoolgirl is realizing she's been stood up, probably by using her phone to follow a trail of clues leading to an innocent photo of some older dude with another chick. Then who should roll up but those two irritating Japanese escorts, the most annoying part of a show that has so very many annoying aspects. Conversing via one of the escorts' voice translation app on her phone, the schoolgirl gets weepy about how she traveled hundreds of miles to meet someone she met online and now she's out of luck. Then all three of them are handed strawberry martinis they didn't order, so I guess schoolgirl is older than she looks. Then the escorts invite her to go watch "The Mortician" with them. She begs off, but they take off and leave the aforementioned phone on the bar. Schoolgirl picks it up and finds the video of the Irish singer Kayla from the pilot. Wait, didn't that phone end up on Chris Raq's suicide bomber's vest? This show is getting dumber by the minute.
Kiefer catches up with the two women at the elevator inside the building, and overhears a conversation between them that sounds like something to do with a class-action suit. The woman from the crosswalk talks about voting to settle, but bus-bench lady is more optimistic, saying they have to stick together, even though nobody's heard from Roger King's representatives. Kiefer follows them up to an office and nearly into a conference room, but almost gets stopped at the door until he pretends to be there to represent Roger King. Just as he's about to sign in, some slick young guy shows up and identifies Kiefer as the reporter he used to be. Kiefer in turn recognizes Rush Middleton, who apparently was his apprentice back in the day. Rush tells Kiefer to back off his story, but then dares him to try to get Roger King to talk, offering to share the byline with him if he gets anything from him. Kiefer leaves with the card Rush wrote King's address on: 3287 Avondale. There's that 3287 number again. And that's apparently what it took to realize that Roger King might be the king the Invisible Prince was talking about. Kiefer is going to have to get better at this.
