I hope we have not seen the last of Nestor Carbonell. When she was standing outside that restaurant at the end of the episode I was literally yelling at the tv, "Get your ass in there!"

Amazing episode. I'm curious if they wrote the ending of it, thinking they might not get picked up for another season. If that would have been a series finale it would have been (in a way) ok since it would have wrapped a lot of things up, but as it stands it's going to be a REALLY interesting 6th season!

It's just one amazing episode after another! I am constantly amazed at how they can keep this show so entertaining, while not resorting to cliche!

The last 20 seconds were just amazing!

The first "surprise" I predicted and long expected- Diane wanting to join FA. I actually think that's kind of a no brainer, with her $38 million in billable clients. They'd be fools to turn her down.

Alicia running for state's attorney is the more interesting twist, though I ultimately suspect she'll turn that down.

I know his character is dying, but I absolutely hated Louis Canning. I hope he doesn't join the cast full-time next season.

Did anyone else notice the season ended the exact same way as it began: with Alicia staring off into space drinking wine?

I feel like they've been sowing the seeds of Alicia developing a drinking problem (or maybe coming to terms with the one she already has). Last week or the week before there was a scene in her kitchen were she poured herself a glass of wine and then kind of stopped and stared for a minute, like she was thinking the better of it. She wound up drinking it anyway, though.

I hate Louis Canning, too!

I don't see her drinking wine any more problematic than Olivia Pope. It's just what career girls do at the end of a busy career day!

I don't watch the Pope show so I can't speak to it.

Also forgot to say that any episode that allows Stockard Channing and Mary Beth Peil so many scenes together (and those two old pros are GREAT together) is well worth watching.

I never thought about Alicia developing a drinking problem. It's interesting, though, given that they've clearly written her mother to be a functioning alcoholic.

Well you'll just have to trust me on this one. Career girls drink red wine from stylish glasses when they get home from work.

I believe you. I'm just saying this show seems to be setting this up, like earlier this season where Grace called her out on her drinking.

I really hope they stay away from a drinking problem storyline. It's way too "soap opera" for a show that's as good as this one is.

Maybe they can do an arc where Canning dies and its a murder committed by the "killer client" Colin Sweeney and they get him off cos everybody appreciates how their interests have been served.

Just a wish.

I actually just had a nice chat with Dylan Baker the other day about the show. He said he's hopeful he'll be back next season but hasn't heard anything yet. I really do hope he and Benanti return!

Anyone still watching this show?

I'm extremely disappointed in this season, and last night was particularly bad.

We spent an entire season dealing with this State's Attorney's race which has fizzled into exactly nothing. No payoff, nothing. Fine, I can get over that. I wasn't relishing the idea of Alicia being in a new place, not interacting with Diane and Carey.

But then...the whole premise of Alicia's return to the law firm was beyond stupid. I refuse to believe that all of those intelligent people would not realize this was a giant misunderstanding and get everything squared away sooner. No, I don't believe that, sorry, show. That was just poorly written, conceived, and executed.

And then, once they finally figure it all out, they're not gonna let her come back because one client, who's only been a client for a couple of weeks, doesn't like her? Really? I don't believe Carey and Diane would EVER bend that quickly to the whim of a client. That goes against their characters. Again, poorly written.

I won't even get into the cheesy Kalinda exit story. This is a woman who isn't the least bit sentimental and is completely pragmatic about everything (and everything would have been fine if Carey had just STAYED OUT OF IT). Why did she get a cheesy, sentimental, last walk through Alicia's living room before going off the grid?

There's only two episodes left this season, and I intend to watch them, but I really hope Alicia returns to the law firm. I have no interest in watching a show where she's not working alongside Carey and Diane.

It's been trying this season. I've always thought some of the recurring characters are a little too too in their quirkiness, but this season itfeels like that gone full-on cartoon. I always thought the "in my opinion" judge was the worst, but I think Harried Dad or Investigator or reporter or whatever is the actual worst.

Yes, are we really to believe that guy can't afford child care?!?!

And every single person over 40 is completely befuddled by technology.

Not EVERY single ( or coupled) person but a great many of us are technologically "challenged."

Even it's weakest episode is far and away better than pretty much anything else on TV.

I agree with you Jordan. And also as the cast, writers and producers have said they produce 22 episodes a season and the majority of these cable shows that get the accolades are around 10 episodes.

They can pat themselves on the back all they want, but the recurring characters are a live-action cartoon. That Colin Sweeney episode with the actor playing Colin Sweeney and playing the actor playing Colin Sweeney was highly irritating.

That was truly the lowest point thus far from a show that's speeding downhill faster than Calvin and Hobbes on a runaway sled.

Agreed.

Last night was an exercise in tedium. Dull, dull, dull.

If next season is going to be about Alicia and Finn being "street lawyers" helping the poor and downtrodden, then I have no interest in watching.

Man, I totally disagree with you. lol

I thought last nights episode was fantastic and the building blocks for the final season, which I'm sure they've been mapping out for a while now.
