Slightly drunk, Alicia is asked to get some final contracts from Colin Sweeney (Dylan Baker), whom we met earlier in the season and who is famous for having killed his wife even though he was never convicted of the crime. She's not looking forward to the encounter, and is even more upset when she walks in to find him cuffed to the naked dead body of a woman. That man is SO disturbing.
And while she is again forced to combat her personal sense of decency and morality to defend a man she is certain is guilty, if not of this crime at least of some crime, she also has to fight her own revulsion about playing the game of getting ahead in a law firm. Did she make a deal with the Devil when she began recruiting for Lockhart & Gardner through Peter? I suspect we'll see that develop next season.
Meanwhile, Cary (Matt Czuchry) joined Glenn Childs (Titus Welliver), clearly bent on revenge against Alicia, and Eli Gold (Alan Cumming) and Elsbeth Tascioni (Carrie Preston) worked to clear Peter of the charges once and for all.
Poor Eli. Elsbeth gives off the illusion of incompetence, which encourages everyone around her to underestimate her. Eli was in quite a panic about how his trial was going (and when I say "his" I am indicating that Eli clearly is a control freak and possessive over all aspects of any of his jobs), but Elsbeth impressed him tremendously when she showed him just how competent she really is.
Also, I loved when Eli confronted the FBI about their spying on Peter. Pins, magnets, posters on buses. What ever he does, he does to just the perfect degree of over the top.
With only one episode left of the season, I'm excited to discover the cliffhangers we are offered to keep us desperate for Season 2.
