The cousins went to Harlem to pick up Valenti from Ellie, who wanted an introduction to the Camarilla court in return? Julius said he'll mention her name, but he never said anything about the introduction being friendly. Having bagged Valenti, he now needed to be delivered to the Prince somehow.
Lottie was shown by Julius how to hunt, as she hadn't actually had to hunt by herself before. It was, uh, memorable, and both of them seemed more interested in snacking on the other than on Kine ...
While the two of them were away, a weirdly expressionless and non-descript guy introducing himself as "John Smith" from the CHOMBRA Corporation came by to do a "transaction". It was not the Prince in disguise, but some aura-less part automaton. He was bundled into the boot as a bonus present for the Prince, who was very pleased. He commended the cousins on being so quick on giving him Valenti. John Smith, upon seeing the Prince, finally had a facial expression: abject terror. Which is fair.
Val greeted his sire with a bouquet of roses, so it looked like they were planning on meeting up all along, even though she hadn't invited him to Elysium (but at least she'd been asking about him, so there is that).
Lottie and Julius spotted Jeanine on her own, looking like she was waiting for someone - and that someone obviously not being Frankie. She didn't seem too bothered about basically everyone else snubbing her (something that has been known to reduce a Harpy to tears) and she seemed ... excited?

Ghoul NPC: “Can I ask what you want him for?”
Frankie: “No. Well, you can ask, but I ain’t answerin’.”
Player: “She says that like ‘I’d rather stick forks in my face’.”
GM: “You picked up on that, yeah.”
Val: “There’s walkin’ on the wild side and then there’s stickin’ your head down a lion’s throat and sayin’ ‘go ahead and bite me, I dare ya’. This is the latter.”
Val: “So about that Ellie broad ...”
Julius: “No. Just no.”
Lottie: “I ain’t gonna go snackin’ on hobos like Val.”
Val (from the car): “That was ONE TIME. ONE. TIME!”
“If he wanted her mind on hunting, that’s not how to do it.”
“Now she’s huntin’ for luuuuuuurve.”
Lottie: “Let’s go find a victim!”
Lottie’s player: “She wants FOOD now. FOOD.”
GM: “Keep telling yourself that.”
Lottie: “You’re a very bad man! You shouldn’t lie to a dame.”
Player: “He’s not going to whisper sweet nothings into his ear, is he?”
GM: “You don’t know what he was up to with that sweet, old man.”
Lottie: “There’s a lot of that goin’ ‘round, general fuckin’ weird.”
Lottie: (to Val) “Roses? Really? She ain’t that into you.”
“Ah, the joy of watching introverts trying to get flirty in character.”
GM: “Julius intercepts a couple of Malkavians who seem to be very agitated about a shoe.”
