Season Finale - S02E13 - "Finale" - Discussion Thread (SPOILERS)

A somewhat strange title for a season finale (not a series finale).

The case-of-the-week led nicely into some (slightly) startling revelations about Archer and Davidson. I'm surprised they had so much change with Robin Archer's character over so few episodes. I wonder when and how Archer and Davidson will make a return in the future...

Naturally, the romantic triangle got some resolution. Kate's decision in the end was a predictable one - although I am glad she didn't immediately run to Ben or anything (though he may have tried to engineer things that way). I'm glad the "last 10 seconds" reveal was just a relatively innocuous setup for next season.

(I also liked that they wrote an actual article about the election for when Leo was holding the newspaper early in the episode. It was readable in the video I watched, too. Seemed like an actual article.)

Overall, it was a pretty decent season finale.

S02E12 - "Force Majeure" - Discussion Thread (SPOILERS)

Oh man, Justin's campaign is in trouble now.

No real mediating this episode, but that didn't bother me. I've gotten used to the whole "Kate picks one side to support from the start" thing. She didn't have that much of a choice this time, since the other side would have made Justin look bad. (And it turned out that that was the idea, as I expected.)

Ben's doing a good job of being (or at least appearing) no longer concerned with Kate and Justin's relationship. I doubt we've seen the last of his romantic involvement with Kate, though...

I was hoping things would work out between Lauren and the super-rich Robin Archer. I'm still hoping he returns to the show in the future. They certainly had some chemistry together, even if he did seem a bit "too good to be true". The mention of his estranged son without expounding on the topic does seem to suggest the writers are at least leaving open the possibility of a return.

We'll see how things turn out.

S02E11 - "Borderline" - Discussion Thread (SPOILERS)

...As if we didn't all see where the Lake Tahoe getaway was headed.

Justin's case this week was interestingly played, though it seems really shortsighted of Davidson to just hand Justin a case he was supposedly planning on prosecuting himself. Though, given that he admitted it, he wasn't really expecting Justin to find a way not to fail.

The case of the week was interesting at first, but played out kinda predictably... It was mostly a setup for Ben and Kate.

The two of them had an interesting interplay. It was kinda annoying to have Ben act like he knows exactly what Kate is thinking... The problem is that he's probably right. And Kate's still not taking that risk...

S02E10 - "Shattered" - Discussion Thread (SPOILERS)

Sorry V2, it's the halfway point between last episode and next episode, and we don't have a discussion thread for the last episode!

I should apologize for the sarcasm, but I'm a Ben fan and this whole episode was just a tad too ridiculous.

Kate finds herself in a mediation regarding a nurse whose patient broke her hip. The patient claims the nurse was on her cell phone, the nurse claims that another patient called her name, causing her to look away just before the patient fell. There is a witness, but she won't talk. (Of course!)

The evil blonde lawyer for the patient is apparently Satan in a pretty dress, and used to date Ben. (Of course!) The sight of her gets him all nervous, because he's pretty sure she wants to kill him, and she wants something worse - an explanation. Ben's story is that he told her he wasn't good at relationships and that it would end badly, so she shouldn't blame him for things going exactly as he said. Not surprisingly, she doesn't find this to be a very good response, but it's the only one she's getting.

Kate's missing witness is found in conveniently short order, and identified even more expediently. (Of course!) She's a fugitive who's been on the run for twenty years (of course!) and if she gives a statement, she'll essentially be turning herself in. The DA (Justin's opponent in the election) will seize on the opportunity, she'll be branded a terrorist and sent to jail forever. Only Kate can save her now! (Of course!)

At the beginning of the episode, Ben tries to mind-wipe Leo about when he was looking for Kate after their non-date, so you know how long that secret is going to last. Leo, being a person capable of noticing that other people have feelings too, tells Kate that maaaaaaybe she hurt Ben's feeling and maaaaaaaaybe he likes her and maaaaaaybe she's a total ho-bag who makes terrible decisions about men.

Ben is called in to help Kate (of course!), and they cut a deal with Justin that will allow the fugitive a shorter sentence. Somebody screws things up by spilling the beans about the fugitive getting a book deal, and of course that was Ben's doing. (Of course!) Justin is pissed and sends the cops immediately to arrest the fugitive. Kate yells at Ben, they totally-don't-tell the fugitive and her husband to jump out the window, and the cops come away empty-handed (of course!).

Then, Kate's all "Oh hey Ben! I screwed Justin! instead of dating you!" and Ben's like "Uh, grats, but why are you screaming this in a parking lot instead of talking to me like an adult? Oh, wait, Kate Reed, right."

They manage to convince Justin that the book deal is legit because it's for charity, and he accepts that explanation (of course!). The DA is all pissed at Kate because she's aiding and abetting or whatever, he pushes her to make the fugitive turn herself in for a long sentence, and Kate does. The DA drags her along to arrest the fugitive with him, and to keep Kate from trickery. But it's ok, guys, because Kate and Justin have this whole thing worked out, a bit of misdirection results, and it turns out that Justin called the fugitive to turn herself in at the courthouse while the evil DA was trying to arrest her at her house, and Justin lays it on real thick on TV announcing that he and the DA worked together for justice and fairness and puppies. Kate miraculously doesn't get arrested for anything.

Naturally, ending on Kate and Ben (who took his shirt off earlier in the car with Kate, for a narrative contrivance that didn't bother a real mention until now) wrapping things up for us, and it's a little awkward. Then it gets real awkward because Justin is there to pick up Kate for their date, and she's like "Hey Ben! Remember all those times the evil blonde lawyer talked about how much you like me in this episode? Well, my insecurities and I will seeya tomorrow at work where I can not acknowledge that I like you!"

S02E09 - "Kiss Me, Kate" - Discussion Thread (SPOILERS)

Kate seems to be getting increasingly bipolar. She needs to figure out what the hell she wants.

'Twas nice to get some backstory on Nicastro - and it was nice to see he was willing to doubt his own bias or lack thereof. He's a good guy.

Seemed a bit out of character for Leo to just tell Ben about where Kate was, but I guess he didn't want Ben to be led on (and wanted to get Ben out of his place).

Seemed a tad weird for Justin not to question Kate's sudden advances, but then it has happened before (and Kate's pretty hot).

Overall, a pretty good episode for character advancement while maintaining a mediation-of-the-week.

S02E08 - "Ripple of Hope" - Discussion Thread (SPOILERS)

Well, I guess it's good to see that not every case ends successfully.

So... that happened. I figured it would, eventually. The "Greed" (Grogan + Reed; yes, I came up with that :P) relationship is finally starting to grow on me. I wonder how it'll play out...

I sympathized with Kate's frustration at the parole board at the end. It's silly to not listen to someone because of a rule that is intentionally flexible.

Also, the final Leo-Lauren-other girl scene was awesome. :D

S02E07 - "Teenage Wasteland" - Discussion Thread (SPOILERS)

Since not very many people seem to be reading this, I'll keep it short...

The interaction between Ben and Justin was hilarious... They finally work together to escape the crazy judge lady. They make an interesting team.

The parallels between the girl and Kate were obvious to everyone even in-universe, so in a way I'm glad she turned out to be the one scheming. Speaking of which, before Kate spoofed Mr. Wade's number and called her, I figured it'd be obvious she was actually working with him through the fact that the girl even had his actual phone number (unless he normally hands it out to students).

Lauren seemed to be acting a bit weird in the scene where Ben asked her for advice... Maybe she's like the judge, too?

Another nice bit at the end between Lauren and Kate. It certainly must be a lot of pressure to always have to be the mature one. Olivia (and Lauren) made a good point about Kate still being a bit childish and impulsive...

S02E06 - "What They Seem" - Discussion Thread (SPOILERS)

Pretty good episode. We got to see the strange relationship between Kate and Ben play out a bit, particularly toward the end there... She was being a tad unfair toward him. Though the first episode or two might have depicted him a bit one-sidedly, there is more to him than it seems.

A lot of "passion" and emotionality this episode. Obviously from Kate, but some from Ben, Justin, and Lauren as well.

It was also nice to see Kate agree to help Lauren so quickly, and to see her not do it without question. (And Ian proves he's still a dick.)

The scene with Justin trying to tell Kate he's fine with her continuing to date was hilariously awkward. "You're weird."

(Leo's always awesome.)

S02E05 - "Gimme Shelter" - Discussion Thread (SPOILERS)

Definitely the best episode this season so far. Finally, the episode that humanizes Ben :)

Plus, Leo helps balance the scale in the other direction from Kate by actually mediating instead of just taking the little guy's side all the time. Quite an efficient worker, too. Hopefully it got him in Lauren's good graces.

Lauren was also awesome this episode, what with showing DA-guy who's boss. I like that she and Kate are on the same team this season.

What'd all 11 (...which includes me, I guess) of you think? :P
