Episode Report Card Jacob Clifton: A+ | 12 USERS: A+ YOU GRADE IT Will v. Grace

OUTSIDE
Dana walks slowly across the hall to stare at Kalinda and shake with rage and maybe just a little crushed-out heartbreak. I mean, Kalinda did just use her to sink her own career, basically; pretty shitty from Dana's perspective and that's not really unfair of her to feel or think. To be fair, Dana was basically blackmailing her, at least in terms of emotion, but rather than telling her to fuck off, Kalinda used her as a disposable tool, which is kind of sad. I also don't hate Dana, but again: Freakin' awesome.
Dana: "You fooled me?"
Kalinda: "Yup. You wanna hit me, go ahead. That was pretty shitty from your perspective."
Dana: Slaps the shit out of her.
Kalinda: WINS. FOREVER.
BREAK
Will flashes Kalinda thumbs-up from the doorway, and then crosses to her for a surprisingly moving embrace. Those two.
Elsbeth: "Nice work, creeps, but it's not over yet. She's sending out an additional subpoena, and I think it's... Hang on, my magic crystalline brain is working... Okay it's not Kalinda, that's not it... She's pissed, who's the last person she's going to use? Hmm, she could subpoena the whole firm to waste our collective time, but that's not..."
Everybody Who Has Ever Seen This Show, And Probably Anybody Who Hasn't: "It is clearly going to be Alicia Florrick! You are giving me a heart attack!"
Elsbeth: "OMG. You're vulnerable somewhere, right? The file was bait, so she wouldn't go after your real thing?"
Will: "Yeah, for sure."
Elsbeth: "What is your real thing?"
GLAC
(Alicia: "It is I!")
Caitlin: "Listen, am I just really fucking up here? Eli Gold is being a little shit to me, and not in the usual way. Like he has broken the ceiling on being a little shit to people. I have something to tell him about this GLAC meeting and he won't even listen. And I am Caitlin!"
Alicia: "Don't worry about it. He runs psych ops on randoms just to stay horrible."
Eli: "Stacie, stop calling me. What do you want?"
Stacie: "I'm in bed, thinking of you."
Eli: "Gross. Also a lie. You know I'm meeting with GLAC in five."
Stacie, in bed: "Nevertheless, I am in bed thinking of you. I wish you hadn't wimped out on me last night."
I love this. There's Will-They-Or-Won't-They, and then there's this show's version of that, which is like Pascal's Wager On What The Fuck Is Stacie Hall Even Talking About Ever.
