After last week's revelations that Walter Kendrick is a lying liar who lies and is kind of a dick, too, when the Board at Ultima National Resources brings in a Number Two, Claire sees an angle to oust Walter Kendrick from his post. She tries hard to maneuver Number Two to take the reins himself and then pits Kendrick against him, so she can take the company for herself. After a few calculated moves and thinking she has the Board's backing to take the helm of UNR, Claire walks right into Kendrick's trap. Turns out that Kendrick (and probably UNR as a whole) is a giant pervert who got his jollies watching Claire get it on with Daniel Purcell and is now firing her for her trouble. Since the vengeance demons are busy, Claire goes to Patty and offers to help rain fire and brimstone on Kendrick's balding head. I don't know about you, but I am so excited to see these two working together.
Patty and Phil are being profiled as a "power couple." Obviously the revelation that Phil is a cheating cheater who cheats has to come out before the New York Style Magazine article can be released. Don't they know about the New York Style Magazine curse? Ellen spies Phil in a hotel lobby with a little lady who isn't Patty at all. Since Ellen is hell bent on revenge, she can't help but figure out a way to break the news to Patty that her husband is a dick, too. Noticing a theme here? With the help of the private investigator she has hired, she makes sure Patty gets some tell-tale pictures. The fall out isn't pretty and looks like Phil won't be Energy Secretary after all. Also, Patty knows it was Ellen. She knows and she wants her to stop being vindictive. Ellen recalls a lesson from '80s anti-drug ads: I learned it by watching you!
Patty's war on UNR keeps on keeping on. She wins a battle (and maybe the whole war) when her trusted team swipes the entire Cadillac from under their noses. Her mechanic is a bit suspicious about the new car's well-used GPS system.
Cheeseburger meets some guy from Calder Security about a problem with some fallout from the Frobisher case and how this fallout could possibly link him directly to the murder of "her fiancé." Aye yi yi! Does this mean his contract with T-Mobile will get cancelled? The guy tells Cheeseburger that as far as he is concerned Cheeseburger does not even exist, but you know that's not going to be enough for Cheeseburger. Meanwhile, the private investigator that Ellen hired has already figured out that Calder has a bunch of rogue secret operatives that do lots of dark and secret things for Calder Security and that they need to prove the secret operatives exist to start to prove who killed her fiancé. Hmm… maybe he should start his search in Ellen's bedroom.
Also, Agent Glenn rushes to the hotel room reporting that Ellen shot Patty Hewes.
