-SPOILERS BELOW-
I was so happy that we finally got a Diane-centric episode.
It’s really been long overdue. I just hate that she is continually having to
fight against what she believes in. It’s really a shame that we haven’t seen
her smile in a while. Ethan Carver and Reese Dipple should let Diane go back to
her old ways, then maybe she wouldn’t have as many negative altercations with
the judges. I would love to see her argue a case where her clients aren’t
asking to transfer to Alicia, even though Alicia is becoming a very
accomplished free-lance lawyer.
I really loved seeing Grace taking charge in this episode. I
thought it was very innovative of her to find the recording of office noise
online and then play that on as many computers in the house that she could
find. If I was a potential client, I certainly would’ve thought that I was
getting involved with a very busy law firm. Well done on your part, Grace. With
all this work she’s been doing for her mom, I didn’t think it was out of the ordinary
for her to ask for a set amount of payment. It’s only fitting since Alicia and
Lucca are going to be asking for more money for their services from clients.
Something I felt that was quite unnecessary was the kiss
between Courtney and Eli. I thought Courtney was going to be a character that
would be off the show soon and I don’t think she’s a good match for Eli. I
really don’t know how I feel about the relationship but I hope they don’t
create a story arc out of it. I do want Eli to be happy, but I don’t think that
a relationship for him at this point and time is the right thing. I wish they
would stop creating these small relationships with new characters. They have
other characters with established relationships, like Kurt and Diane, who
haven’t gotten a chance to shine this season.
I don’t like where some things are going but I like some of
the directions they are going in. The core, original cast needs a solid story
arc that doesn’t always lead back to Alicia. It’s a bit silly of me to complain
about too much focus on a main character, but I just really feel like they
aren’t exploring some potentially great storylines and arcs.
