But I don’t know squat about Di2, so unknown if it’s an easy fix (or not). Anyone know?
I don't "know" about the fix, but if the situation is that it's fixable or dead, there's at least no risk in trying. It should be possible to inspect the wire and see if the actual wire is damaged, or just the insulation stripped. I'd wager it's possible to either splice a new one in, re-insulate the wire in a durable way, or open the derailleur body and add a new wire from an eBay dead one.
I also wouldn't tell your friend this, but if he's upset at replacing a Di2 RD, either Di2 isn't really for him or should take out a cheaper bike in crappy conditions.

In happier news, Atomic Mom got me a 14 Pro Max for Christmas which arrived last night, direct from HK I think. Is beautiful, but not touching it much until the case arrives later this afternoon.

If your friend just broke the wire, the wire can be replaced. But, that would not explain the RD falling off. The wire only carries electricity, it is not structural. It plugs into the RD and is not hard wired. I’ll bet a new hanger and wire is all he needs.

Dropped the ritchey off at the LBS with the group. A buddy of mine that works there brought me a rear wheel to use until I get my new wheel set.
They didn’t have a front derailer clamp that would fit my bike, but they did seem to think that they could use the old clamp. I’m trying to stay optimistic.
Wish I had the funds to replace the bars as well, since the tape has to come off. Oh well.

I don't know if a 14 pro is a tire or a camera or a knife.
