Yes, it did. So, now - it really looks like Lilah kills David, the thing the Ellen asks Patty if she regrets is pushing (i.e., blackmailing) Fisk - but who tried to kill Patty or possibly Ellen ?

Damages speculation: I think the person who tried to kill Ellen was Patty's lightbulb-man or one of his crew which might explain why Ellen didn't know who he was because she'd never met him. And lightbulb man or his surviving crew cleaned up the mess.

So, do all good firms of attorneys have a wetworks team?

Sure. We just call them the billing office.

Wolfram,

I agree with the speculation, but I would go further. I think Frobisher is behind the attacks. He has the most to gain by killing Patty/Ellen and perhaps he had an inkling that a tape showed up in Ellen's place.

Whether the crew is associated with Patty is up for discussion.

Right. I mean, didn't he take out somebody else in much the same fashion that Moore was taken out?

Mad Men: Over at TWOP somebody suggested that the character of Rachel may be based on the life of Geraldine Stutz.

It seems pretty likely.

perhaps he had an inkling that a tape showed up in Ellen's place.

The preview for next week certainly makes it seem that way.

Alan Sepinwall raves about Mad Men.

That is a great, loving review, though I disagree pretty strongly with his take on Betty.
