STATE'S ATTORNEY
Cary: "Kalinda, nice to see you rifling through my desk when I'm not around. It's like the good old days."
Kalinda: "Hey, can see your crime scene photos of Greenberg's murder?"
Cary: "Maybe?"
Sophia: "Hey look, it's the three of us here in Cary's office dressed like contract killers. What a sexy situation."
Cary: "I seem to be babbling."
Kalinda: "Anyway, if you guys hooked up that would tie up at least two of my loose ends. While creating tremendous strife between all three of us and between our offices, too."
Cary & Sophia: "We love you, Kalinda! Please do not stab us!"
Kalinda produces a card table, shells three walnuts, takes out a small ball bearing and shows it to them: It is under the middle walnut shell. She moves them around, quicker and quicker, and in a strange Queens accent murmurs, "Find the lady. Step right up." They move faster and faster, and Cary and Sophia lean in closer and closer, trying to follow her movements. Suddenly the shells stop, and Kalinda is gone.
It is as if she was never there! The crime scene photos also are gone. As if they were never there either!
Cary & Sophia: "She is a hypnotist. She is a con man and a hypnotist. We are powerless."
LOCKAHART, GARDNER
The facts are these: Simon Greenberg, 22, was found in his dorm bound and gagged, and stabbed 45 times with a backwards swastika caved into his forehead. The cops think it was an execution, no sign of a struggle. Neighbor heard a scream, saw a possible Middle Eastern fellow running to Jimal's car.
Alicia and Kalinda manage to discuss these facts and brainstorm about them without looking at each other or communicating directly with one another. Who knew Alicia's passive-aggression could actually be a priceless skill.
Will: "Alicia, do you have a minute?"
Alicia: "Maybe we could talk about last night."
Will: "Last night like the season finale, or last night like it's been a while since that night?"
Alicia: "We are playing it so cagey it's still impossible to tell, but since that works better onscreen than in print, I will just say that I mean last night as in we are sleeping together."
Horrible Taub shows up: He is Michael something, a novelist and committee head of the $20M Jewish League Fund To Fight Intolerance, and he is there to yell at Eli for doing pro-Palestine propaganda.
