And then Rachel would be working for her dad, after all. But would he want Mike on his payroll? I would think not.

NYT: Gina Torres On Why She Decided to Leave Suits So, kind of like her reason for leaving PSL.

Also, not sure how Tara could know who the father is, since Louis came after the first boyfriend, not before. I also don't see how the actually father can be removed from the baby's life, unless that's what he wants, but since he also proposed to Tara without even knowing she was pregnant, it doesn't seem likely.

Rachel's examination of Leonard was quite whispery. Bet she would have worn a suit had she known she'd be conducting the examination.
-
I believe she was dreaming. Remember, it was established that she was a child actress and it looks like her father was involved in that ("the big game"). It also sounded to me as if her mother had a British accent, which, according to Wikipedia would be accurate in her real life, along with her father's involvement in television. I guess we will be finding out about her presumably married paramour? If so, great example for the teen-aged daughter.

Cahill risking his reputation and giving up all pretense of professional ethics is exactly what Harvey did with Gallo, and Sutter was no murderer. The rest of the machinations and twists and turns are nonsense. With respect to the Innocence Project case, if a death row inmate could get a new trial due to an allegation of ineffective assistance of counsel, as a result of said counsel failing to find an unreliable defense witness, even if said counsel signed an affadavit declaring herself to have been ineffective (which is what I think happened), there would be a lot of new trials for death row inmates! I also find it extremely unlikely that an execution would be delayed due to the prisoner's desired family member being unable to attend, but I have no personal knowledge of that. It's all moot as it has been earlier pointed out that NY has no effective death penalty, as the death penalty statute was ruled unconstitutional in 2004 and in 2007 all remaining death sentences were reduced to life. There is no death row in NYS. (The federal system differs.)
-
Exactly what should happen. Then Harvey can refuse to rat out Cahill and take the fall for both of them. Then some law enforcement official who had nothing to do with prosecuting Harvey will ask him to inform on his cellmate, whose family member Cahill currently represents after leaving the SEC to join Pearson Specter.
-
I think we're supposed to believe that Gallo won't hurt anyone for fear of going back to the maximum security prison. I suppose when he gets out in 5 years, all bets are off. Whatever. Honestly, in real life, Leonard would take the deal, maybe with an Alford plea so he doesn't have to admit culpability, or expect to be executed. Finally, I believe Rachel mentioned something about Leonard finally getting the chance to prove his innocence. She doesn't sound like a person with any experience of criminal law, whatsoever. Nope. That's not the standard. The prosecutor has to prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The defendant can be found guilty or not guilty, but he will never be found innocent, despite the name of the Innocence Project (although under certain circumstances, the charges against him could be dismissed.)

Can You Hide From Inspector Lewis?
ItCouldBeWorse replied to Primetimer's topic in Inspector Lewis [V]
"Lewis, a level-headed Geordie, is particularly suited to mentor the erudite Hathaway, having labored for so long under the well-heeled Morse. " Was Morse wealthy, or do you mean "well-educated"? -
So: Harvey represents Sutter, but doesn't want to move for a dismissal that he and Jessica both agree would likely be granted because then Mike's informing on Kevin would not be necessary and Mike would have to serve his full sentence. Harvey says he represents Kevin, but is actively working against his best interests, and admits as much to Cahill and Jessica. Also, Harvey "represents" Kevin, but has to convince Cahill to tell him what Kevin's in jail for? That's not only a matter of public record, but it's beyond ridiculous not to know why your client is in jail. Harvey has absolutely no professional ethics left and neither do Cahill, Donna or Jessica. BTW, Donna, you don't "deposition" someone, you "depose" them. (And requesting depositions doesn't preclude a ruling on the motion to dismiss. Depositions don't have some "special" power. One just moves to delay the depositions until after the decision on the motion to dismiss! Harvey not making the effort to do that is malpractice. Now, the judge may well decide that discovery should proceed in case something relevant comes out of it, but that's for the judge to decide.) I don't understand how Harvey was able to bring Sutter into prison for a "practice deposition" with Kevin and Mike. Can he just show up anytime he wants, with anyone he wants, to see Mike and Kevin, together? When a lawyer does visit an incarcerated "client" (Kevin) perhaps he could bring an associate or other support staff, but Mike is definitively not a lawyer, and is not working for Harvey's law firm, even though, hilariously, Kevin later says in their cell that Mike is Sutter's "lawyer"! So now Cahill is willing to risk collusion and thus potential imprisonment if discovered to bring down Sutter? Why? Harvey's an idiot about these things, but I don't get Cahill's risk taking. He would not enjoy prison at all.

Nope; two different families. On his first trip to town, the Cowboy stopped on the way and ate dinner with the "talkative" boy and his family; that is not the family that was attacked in Ratwater. On his way back to his own family with the medicine, he passed the "talkative" boy and his family on their way to Ratwater, and made the belated decision to turn back to Ratwater and rescue them from the same fate as the earlier family that had been attacked. They did not need rescuing (they were happily selling scalps) and the Cowboy wound up without his horse, and, ultimately, without his family. Since the Cowboy's wife, (who had not appeared to be sick when he left 2+ days ago) was now quite dead along with their daughter, who knows if going straight back home with the medicine would have made a difference, but, to the Cowboy, it must have seemed that he sacrificed his family for corrupt people who did not deserve his help, in a corrupt town that did not deserve to exist.

I suspect that Jesse just didn't think of trying it, and just went with his first instinct to react physically. I thought that the angels didn't want the seraph(im) tipped off that Genesis was in Jesse, because it would get back to Heaven. At that time, Genesis' location was still a secret.

Yes, I'm fairly sure that lawyers can only visit during designated hours.

Season One Talk: FFwSB
ItCouldBeWorse replied to formerlyfreedom's topic in Full Frontal With Samantha Bee
I have a theory about the most ardent/crazy Sanders and Trump supporters, the ones who are blind to everything but their chosen candidate winning. Many of the crazed Trump supporters feel that they have never gotten anything they really wanted in life, and they "are not giving up their shot;" the most crazed Sanders supporters actually have gotten pretty much everything they've wanted up to now and can't believe that on this, they will not get their hearts' desire. -
But she comes back to life every time she gets killed, so..... But so does DeBlanc, so....
-
Jesse feels guilty for Eugenes's plight so his sub-conscience causes him to see him. In the church, he thought at first that he had actually helped him back from hell. Now he knows better, but by "seeing" and reassuring Eugene that he is going to find him and rescue him, he reassures himself.
-
Nope, the Saint of Killers (the cowboy) shot her, too. If DeBlanc is permanently gone, so is she. I do wonder if she blew up with the town and then reconstituted-she certainly looked dazed-before the Saint of Killers shot her. Some consolation, I hope. I doubt that in his condition, Carlos was able to make it out of town in time, if he even survived his internal injuries. I think it was methane. Definitely not his wife; but one of the prostitutes. His wife shut down the idea of getting frisky or putting on a special nightgown in favor of watching a movie and eating vanilla ice cream. This might have been an unusual indulgence for Homer as a result of the revelations in church earlier that day. I believe it was the same tree; the mayor was buried under it, too. I really don't think they saw the TV report. Jesse was busy talking to "Eugene" and the others were on their way out. Would they care if they had? Hard to say.

"Practical Ethics" is really called "Professional Responsibility" and isn't a law school elective, but rather a required course. No one takes it for fun or profit, and you don't get to drop it because you are volunteering with the Innocence Project. None of that makes sense. Now Rachel is a full time law student (you can't attend Columbia Law School part-time), a part-time paralegal, and in her copious spare time, will be working on the Innocence Project. It is a logical way for the show to afford her the opportunity to work on a case without being a full-fledged lawyer.

But one with a moral code and a conscience, something rare in this show.

I didn't hear it that way. In the past, she's slept with him but didn't want him to stay over for the kids to find. I believe she previously mentioned that the kids almost caught him once when he did stay. I think he was testing the limits to see what she would say. She wasn't focused on the conversation, and didn't say "no." If she had said "no", perhaps he would have agreed, or maybe he would have declined to pick up the kids this time. We'll never know.
-
Emily might actually be too cold-blooded for Tulip. Even Cassidy said something like "poor guy" about the mayor's corpse.
-
And no one to pick up her kids, feed them dinner and breakfast, help with their homework, wash her dishes.... That looked like the same location where Walt waited to "disappear" in Breaking Bad. Not sure of the significance, but the design is really cool. Good catch: http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/preacher-breaking-bad-easter-egg-s1e9-finish-the-song-amc-a7154751.html
