Episode Report Card Jacob Clifton: A+ | 76 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT Zach & Gracie Make A Porno
By Jacob Clifton | Season 5 | Episode 7 | Aired on 11.10.2013
The big news in their partner meeting, though, is a completely different deal: A malpractice suit against the firm for $6 million in damages from "attorney recklessness," with malpractice insurance denied. If you are assuming this is a David Lee issue, you'd be both forgiven and correct.
Will: "Everybody stop yelling and start being cool this instant. I won't have a nuisance case throwing us off, even for this big an amount. Move together, act together. Or GTFO."
David Lee: "I wasn't 'reckless,' they're just nuts. These people adopted a two-month-old girl, the biological parents tried to get her back, I told them they'd win, and they did, the end. People lashing out at one another -- and occasionally, us -- is the main thing of Family Law, it's why I love it."
Diane: "Okay, who else was on it?"
David Lee: "I was doing the Zander divorce, I don't remember... Oh, Jesus H. Guess. I dare you to guess."
Will: "Ugh. Meanwhile, I have to go hang onto another of her clients."
Diane: "Hard case?"
Will: "Not really. He sounded really cute, and very white, so I should be back soon."
FLORRICK/AGOS
Cary: "We're going broke!"
Bonus Dick: "It's because we didn't get our bonuses."
Everybody: "If you mention bonuses one more time we will give you a bonus knuckle sandwich. You're more one-note than the quirky judges we're always doing law for."
Alicia: "Maybe we should look for office space further south... Or cheaper?"
Cary: "I don't want to get locked into a lease somewhere uncool. If the ChumHum retainer weren't still 45 days out we'd be fine, but..."
Bonus Dick: "[More of his bullshit, always.]"
Meanwhile, Zach notices the webcam light on Alicia's computer is on, and when he goes to investigate, looking the camera in the eye, it shuts itself down. Naturally he assumes Grace incompetently left it going, and barges into her bedroom without knocking to accuse her of playing on Mom's computer without permission.
I am troubled by this trend, of Zach policing Grace's body and mind in these paternalistic ways, but I can see a way it might work. If it turns out that this is Zach's reaction to not having Peter around and feeling this burden of being the man of the house, then it means he isn't turning into a creepy monster. The feet aren't clay, it's just that the show has a thing it wants to say about parents and kids that could be bullshit or could be true, depending on the family. But that's the kindest interpretation and right now it's got an asterisk until we see where it's headed.
