She sought out me. Apparently she thought I was the one who deliberately meant to point Skye in Jesse's direction—only more blamey. Most likely she meant to discourage me.
I meant Skye--nevermind, I'll dial back on the 3 a.m. post-haze sarcasm.
A little tidbit for you, Jesse seems to think that he's doing this at the benefit of the imPorts. A little nearsighted if you imagine him in chains and a striped shirt. Kara insists that she'll do anything as long as he doesn't go to jail--but I doubt she'll get that far in their drug pursuits.
I'm not sure who's better at convincing who. If it's Jesse convincing Kara, or Jesse convincing himself.
[She listens, and for a moment, she's silent—likely making Loki worry that the call is dropped.
But then she speaks:]
Unless Jesse's leveled up his manipulation, it's all Kara. I wonder if she calls him "kid" while being so blind to what he's doing and the problems it can cause. Does being old make you stupid? [Because that's all Kate can think of.]
That he thinks he's helping everyone sounds exactly like him. It's not too different from the kind of half-cocked thing you'd cook up, but you'd be smarter about it. [Doing bad to benefit is Loki's whole thing. Him throwing himself under the bus was a part of that, so it coming back to Loki isn't as surprising to Kate as it could be.]

It was as good as an admission of guilt.

Do we know how he's doing his charity work?

I'm standing right here.
[ don't talk about him to him while he's on the phone that's rude. ]
No, she wouldn't divulge any other details that weren't intent. A pity, really. She really thought she had aces up her sleeve.

Then we find out his money laundering. We can see if anyone's made any big donations to the imPort fund. Mandrake will have paperwork on it.
[Oh, she sounds thrilled about that.]

He does know how to be discrete.

Don't make Mandrake suspicious. Suspicious politicians never, ever, ever, ever—can I stress more evers?—ever ends well.
