Dried Apricots and Pumpkin Pop-Tarts tell the tale in tonight's episode.

Out with Lockhart Gardner in with LG (Not the TV LG.)

And, just as the partners are scrounging for Alicia’s clients due to Anthony’s loose tongue, another client runs right to Alicia thanks to Partner Howard Underpants. But, don’t worry Lyman’s going to save the day. Fist bump.

While Will is distracted by the Blond Rubberband, his business suffers. David Lee, ever the cheerful giver, spreading joy wherever he goes, drops a bug in Isabel’s ear. Is this blond simply a pleasant distraction or does she have some kind of agenda? I’m not sure on that point.

TGW_508EliNatalieSeeing Eli all aflutter over Natalie Florez is precious. Being cock blocked by Alicia was hilarious. Run Eli! Run! I am enjoying this storyline so much I could just bust!

Robyn seeks career advice from Kalinda upon hearing hers may prematurely end at Florrick / Agos, and then sets about saving her own skin. This newly minted investigaor’s flip flopping I feel is only from inexperience. Nicely done. Someone else will have to be axed after that performance.

Marilyn. Marilyn. Her constant nausea is making me sick. Seeing Peter fawn over her made me feel dirty. This is not going to end well. And WHO is the father of that woman’s baby?

  1. This episode was fantastic! I ‘ship Natalie/Eli so hard, you don’t even know. When I heard America Ferrera was returning this season, my glee knew no bounds. Their chemistry is nuts.

    Did anyone else raise an eyebrow about the “LG” rebranding? Is that copyright infringement?

    “Blonde Rubberband” – hahahahahahaha!

    Way to go, Robin! She really impressed me in this episode. Dropping that tip at the Mexican consulate was a move straight out of Kalinda’s playbook. Well done.

    I was a little squicked about Peter and Melanie, too. Is it because of Peter’s past crimes? Is it because we don’t quite trust Melanie?

  2. I completely agree with you about Natalie and Eli! One of the best things about this show are the guest appearances. They rock! Seeing Alan Cummings really show his stuff was wonderful. Watching him see saw around in his office chair gave me a fit! And, then BAM! Eli swooped right in there for a kiss!

    Surely LG is an intentional infringement by the writers which comes into play at a later date.

    Robyn was incredible and, yes her consulate move was genius!

    I read that Marilyn is expecting IRL and this had to be written in, which may be why her actions right now are a little muddy.

    In any case, I can not get enough of David Lee! He reminds me of “Mayhem” from the Nationwide commercials. You never know where he’s gonna strike next! Love, love, LOVE it!

    • Now see, I would’ve cast Partner Underpants as “Mayhem”. 😀

      “And, then BAM! Eli swooped right in there for a kiss!” – YEAH HE DID! YOU GO, ELI GOLD!

  3. Score! Howard Lyman IS “Mayhem”! Even Better!
    I will have to think of another comparison for David Lee.
    Perhaps he is more of a Loki in that he wants everyone to bow before his brilliance.
    Slap a headpiece on him and hand him a staff. He would truly be wreaking havoc!
