For the first time in watching this show, I actually was not satisfied with the ending of an episode.
A 17 year-old football player dies on the field from an overdose of painkillers and Alicia’s hired to represent the doctor who prescribed the medication. She ends up having to drop the doctor’s case because of a conflict of interests with a bigger client- the hospital he works for. After it becomes apparent that the boy did not get the medicine from the doctor, the team (Cary, Alicia and Kalinda) find a guy at the boy’s gym who sells drugs. It turns out he sold the medication to the boy’s mother and he stole them from her, replacing the 80 milligram tablets with aspirin.
Alicia hires Molly to watch her kids when she and her mother-in-law can’t be around. It happens just in time as Jackie (Peter’s mom) has a stroke and ends up in the hospital. Molly snoops on Zach’s computer and finds the pictures of Peter and the prostitute. She tells the kids they need family therapy and are hyper-sexualized as a result. When the kids tell Alicia that Molly called them hyper-sexualized, Alicia fires Molly.
Alicia gets to tell Peter that their phones were wired tapped, Kalinda plays both sides of the game working for Peter and Glenn Childs, and Alicia tries to pull her life together.
Even though everything ended really, it still seemed rather open at the end. I guess it’s the cliffhanger effect, but it wasn’t really so much a cliff, but more a sloping hill. The ending just wasn’t as compelling as it could have been. Nevertheless, I look forward to the next episode.
