Eli: "What happens if you don't do it is, we're done here. You married a gun nut and pissed off your firm and tangled with the lifeguards and got your hopes up, all for no reason. Peter makes a short list. You're not on it."
And because it's Eli, you have no idea that this is purely theater designed to manipulate her, so they are actually at cross-purposes, because he's going to fix this on his end, but still leave her -- and her lifetime of ambition, and her dead father's legacy -- hanging. So yeah, I sure hope that works out well. The chains are back around her neck, fatter than ever.
CHUMHUM
So this is why the US is investigating Neil, Kalinda explains: Because he met with some North Korean nationals last year, in Seoul. One of Robyn's billions of contacts at the Treasury, like usual, turned us onto this. And that's why he got the horns, and nobody else, which is why nobody else cared to help him out. Not just because he is a dingus to them, but also because they don't have the stink of scary mean nasty old North Korea on them.
Gross: "Oh come on, they were dissidents! Pro-democracy freedom fighters. They just wanted tech, at cost, cell phones and software and..."

Gross: "A little of both, but they were the good guys! Anyway, they backed off because of the stupid overreaching scary NSA, of course..."
L/G: "You were going to sell this shit to them?"
Gross: "At cost, yeah."
L/G: "So those are the damages we sue for. Done."
David Lee: "Alicia, stop what you are doing and come talk to me. I need you wrong-footed and irritated so I can test a theory out on you."
Alicia: "Ugh, you are such a troll."
David Lee: "Perfect. Now, about your mother. Why is she writing random checks for hundreds of thousands of dollars? Do you know anything about this?"
Alicia: "Do what?"
David Lee: "Why would she be buying commercial real estate in Chicago when I told her right now it's bonds?"
Alicia: "I don't know but I hope you will leave her alone about it."
David Lee: "Actually she's on her way here."
Alicia: "Oh yeah?"
David Lee: "Yeah, does that make you feel weird?"
