Dana complains Kate about Kate's occupation as stylist. Actually, leftovers of Kate's occupation are eaten by Dana's pet:

Dana: Now when I kiss him, I'm gonna picture that he ate some stranger's pubes. And it's gonna affect my relationship with him.

Kate points her own head with fore finger and says:

KATE: All right. Let's bring this in for a landing, Dana.
Dana: You get out of here by tomorrow.

What is the meaning of "bring this in for a landing"?

I'm not familiar with this show, but I gather that Kate is impatient with Dana. Perhaps Dana has a tendency to go on and on about things, or maybe Kate just doesn't care.

What do we "bring in for a landing"? We bring a plane in for a landing after it has been up in the air. A conversation can "come in for a landing" by reaching some conclusion.

Another possible clue to Kate being impatient is your description of the finger pointing to her head. You may be misinterpreting that she is making the shape of a gun and pointing it to her head as if to signify that she would rather blow her brains out than listen to any more of Dana's long-winded, rambling story.
