Well, I guess we can assume that his situation got taken care off once Peter was serious about running for president, they just didn't show it on camera.

"Happily" is a stretch; he did a lot of complaining while on the campaign bus rolling through endless miles of corn fields.

I would assume the family of a state governor and presidential candidate could additionally work out arrangements with their son's school, particularly since it was also their alma mater. Grace's status this season is the weird one.

Maybe the tension / drama between Alicia and her son was mediated offscreen by the new firm that Tae Diggs and Robin work at

oh great another singing scene *fast forward through it* Also, Alicia, and by extension her daughter, are major bitches because her business is legitimately disrupting that other lady at her home and they're doing nothing to fix it. gently caress them.

It was great to finally have Lucca do something of her own that wasn’t seeped in a racism PSA. She’s such an asset to the show, and they do so little with her. EDIT: I just realized the actress is British. Goddamn chameleons.

The Kalinda bullshit is clearly the fault of Juliana Margulies. Pretty unprofessional and oval office-ish behavior on the star/producer.

Oh poo poo, Grace and the HOA was the episode BEFORE Peter losing the campaign, right? Or was last week's episode the one where Alicia's partner sleeps with the musician and wants to join Lockhart/Gardner? Jesus Christ, this show just gets very forgettable. I still watch it, though.

The momentum of the show has really been shot by all the reset buttons. Nobody has moved up in a long time besides Will to...oh wait he's a lawyer, never mind. Grace should be quitting school and working fulltime now, she can go back to school later. She is obviously very good at what she was doing. But no, let's just send her back to square one.

I wouldn't mind the show just pivoting to Lucca I guess. It'd have to be without Lockhart Agos & Lee, though. Especially if Mr Supernatural stays on.

The way the show just randomly decides to air one week, skip the next, introduce fairly big noticeable actors like Taye Diggs only to ghost them after a couple of episodes, unashamedly have lawyers leave the Big Firm only to Rejoin the Big Firm as a recurring plotline - it makes the show seem like someone's vanity piece.

I really hope Alicia ends up broke and penniless in the finale. But the show is really pushing the reset button hard on her going back to Lockheart Agos. Judge Shooter McGavin is scummy as gently caress and I love it.

God drat, I loved this. I think her going back to the Firm is just seriously fuckin' weird, but whatevs.  She's cracking. That little self-aware laugh at the end was great. You're right, Judge Shooter's a scummy fucker. Those scenes in court were good stuff. I still don't get what the dad from Supernatural is going for with that character, but aside from that it's good stuff. I like Luca. She's dope.

Her lawyer instincts keep kicking in at the wrong moments, and LOL at her being any kind of candidate again after the voter fraud knife in back fiasco from last year. Maybe the theme of this show is a broken person slowly discovering that they're a broken person.

The show's gone from "geez, people are dicks to Alicia" to "Alicla spends half the episode feeling sorry for herself". I just don't care one iota about watching Alicla stare into the bottom of a wine glass episode after episode. It's also a problem that Lucca has eclipsed Alicla completely as an interesting, likeable character, and Alicia is starting to feel like the weak link of the show, so it's probably a good thing that they might end it this season.

I just don't care one iota about watching Alicla stare into the bottom of a wine glass episode after episode. The thing with Alicia is I see where they're going with her, but the writing AROUND her hasn't been up to snuff. Like, she's at the end of her rope, being pushed and pulled and controlled by (especially) her husband's poo poo, and her lawyer poo poo, and her non-functioning personal life poo poo and she feels like she doesn't really have agency anymore. She's also super depressed. They've just not done an interesting job on occasion of writing good stuff to play off or through that. It's all just been weird squabblings or repetitive blandness between non interests that seem to go nowhere. I can't see her enjoying going back to the firm that forced her out, especially in a lesser role. She's slowly going broke, though. Maybe she and Luca team up with a dying Michael J Fox and inherit his company. That might be a little shaky, though.I do like me some Luca.

I was really touched by Alicia's breakdown in front of Lucca. It felt real and heartfelt, and in line with her character of trying to keep everything calm and collected and only rarely letting those walls down. She even admitted she isn't sure she likes her adult children. It seems like she's ready to break bad. Suing the judge really seemed like a bad idea from the start, especially in the context of Chicago - a city that is practically synonymous with corruption. They're all in the system enough to know that it was a huge longshot for a judge to find against another judge. Edit: I keep going back to that admission that she's not sure she even likes her kids. This is a woman who left her career to raise her children. To even say that out loud is just huge, like saying all those years were for nothing. hepscat fucked around with this message at 19:22 on Feb 1, 2016 |

I thought the part with Eli at the end was to give Alicia an Aha! moment regarding the corruption probe into the judge, but guess that was one path she didn't think to explore further.
