Ellen's hopes of a resolution to her fiancé David's murder are dashed when the policeman Katie Connor recognized is found dead. She's also shocked to learn that Arthur Frobisher is their new client in the shareholder lawsuit against UNR. Working late one night, she sees Uncle Pete coming out of her office. The FBI is also interested in his activities. Pete is Patty's real uncle and has a lengthy criminal record for petty offenses, though nothing since he started working for Patty 20 years ago. The FBI nab him in a sting operation and give him a choice: provide information they can use against Patty or go to jail leaving his dying wife to cope alone. Pete is genuinely torn at the prospect of betraying Patty and pretends to go along with FBI - but in fact has his own way of extricating himself from the situation he finds himself in.

People are revealing themselves. The FBI guys are falling over one another to screw things up. They are after Patty but why is it so important to them. Somebody is ticked. The handsome fellow that Ellen is so taken with is teaching her to use a gun. He is the partner of that scary murderer (third place in the Richard Dreyfuss look-alike contest). He's the guy who killed an associate in cold blood in the last episode. They have changed the focus to someone else. Ellen is starting to get confused. Katie is in play. The final scene with the Uncle is excellent. The question is whether he is an independent contractor or is betraying Patty. They toss those red herrings around like the guys at the Seattle fish market. Frobisher is now in the picture again. He has been threatened but seems to have found a new purpose.
