Episode Report Card Jacob Clifton: A+ | 56 USERS: A YOU GRADE IT Don't Talk Too Loud

By Jacob Clifton | Season 5 | Episode 14 | Aired on 03.16.2014

He was shining with it when he told her she was always good. It hurts more than she thought it would, again, this part.

Alicia: "Will, I'm poison. My last name, my husband..."
Will: "Stop doing what you're doing and start selling."
Alicia: "Is it not clear that I am losing my fucking mind?"
Will: "Hey. We've all got a past that could hurt us. Don't let yours hurt you."

Sad and happy, at the same time. She didn't. That's not the mistake she made.

SL&G

Next visit: Out in Reception, with Cary Agos looking beautiful and bright-eyed; a Caesar haircut that told you everything you needed to know.

Cary: "You're here for the job?"
Alicia: "Uh, yeah. You?"
Cary: "Yup. Huh."

HOTEL BAR

Alicia: "Cary, what did you think of me when we met?"
Cary: "Is this about the speech, or is this you procrastinating?"
Alicia: "Turns out it's all the same thing."
Cary: "I liked you."
Alicia: "Bullshit. Do you even remember when we met?"
Cary: "Reception. I really am being honest right now. It's kind of my thing."
Alicia: "I knew you were gonna get it, you were this cocky young associate..."
Cary: "That's exactly what I was. And you came off entitled."
Alicia: "...Yeah, valid. Poor as hell, but entitled to everything. Who would you hire, if we had to hire somebody today?"

They agree that Cary is still the better choice. The infinite hassles that don't exist above his head; how sexy he is on paper. They pretend to be abashed by that, but they're not.

Alicia: "I hate that I still wouldn't vote for myself."
Cary: "I think it makes you smart. Most people can't get out of their own way long enough to even see what you're talking about."

She didn't even know, back then, about Marthas & Caitlins. She didn't know which one she was. We never do.

So then why did Will take the chance?

Jackie: "Easy. Because you're a slut."

Cary: "Whoa! Where did you go?"
Alicia: "Sorry. I gotta finish. Talk later."

HOTEL LOBBY

Elsbeth gets off the phone with Kalinda, slinging her hideous Santa Fe purse and heading into the breach. She weaves the Elsbeth magic for... quite a while.
