Does Alicia know about the deal Geneva offered Diane, and that Diane was in deep trouble regarding the falsified evidence? Did I miss that part of the plot? It's also weird that Diane doesn't seem worried at all about her woes, at least not in this episode. You'd think she'd be spending her time trying to figure out what to do. She might have to go to prison!

I find it weird that Diane is the one in most trouble with the SA, yet she spent the entire episode acting like it's just business as usual, while others run around trying to save her. Will we get to see Diane find out she won't get disbarred, go to prison, or get killed by Bishop?

I don't think this is the exit for Kalinda. Archie Panjabi was still on set filming Episode 22.

Totally agree! The Cary/Kalinda stuff is like a bad, cheesy soap opera. Matt Czuchry's acting is so forced. I cringe every time those two have a scene together. I don't think it will even go as far as any trial. Bishop wants to retire from the drug business because of Dylan, who seems to be his number one priority right now. I think he will make a deal with the SA somehow. His back is against the wall. Any notion of him killing people at this point, especially someone like Kalinda, is just silly. If anything, he seems to like and respect Kalinda.

Not only are they going in circles, Lemond Bishop is no longer scary, remember? He makes threats and nothing happens. Then he talks about retiring from the drug business and wants to make a deal. But here they are, talking about scary Mr. Bishop if they testify against him. Kalinda is supposed to be smart. Bishop told her he wants to retire. Ding, ding, ding…Kalinda! Think! He is not going to murder people if he wants his son to have a normal life! It drives me crazy that the writers keeps throwing out empty threats, then everyone is all scared. Then the bad guy wants to be nice. Then we are back to being scared again. And will they ever mention the white card again? Remember they did a big deal episode with Bishop/Kalinda/Lana, ending with Kalinda breaking the white card in a cliffhanger? And what happened to Lana? Its Boy Who Cried Wolf story with Bishop over and over again. Are we seriously supposed to be scared of Mr. Bishop? The storyline has turned into a comedy.

If Alicia is not going to be SA, then Lemond Bishop won't be able to pressure her. But he still wants to retire from the business, maybe HE will come forward and make a deal with Geneva Pine to save Kalinda & Diane. No? #twist

I know that's his gimmick. But I thought they put too much focus on the kids, especially with Kalinda looking at the kids. Maybe I'm expecting a lot more twists and turns before it's all over. It's not as simple as…oh Kalinda is in trouble. Everyone is lying. Howell the computer guy is lying for Kalinda now too, so I kind of expect there'll be more lies from more people to throw in another twist.

Richard Masur.

The camera put a lot of focus on Wiley's kids. I wonder if that will play into it too, such as Wiley will have to lie too in order to protect his kids from something. I don't know. I just think they were zooming in on the food and the kids too much for it to be nothing. But then, maybe that's what they want us to think. LOL.

The question is…how? Diane is in trouble even if Kalinda confesses. Unless Kalinda makes a deal with Geneva Pine, such as flipping on Bishop.

The metadata was always going to factor into it ever since they introduced it to the plot. That's not a surprise. But I don't know if it will be *the one thing* or the *only* thing. Maybe it'll just be part of the domino effect of a whole bunch of other things. LOL. There are four more episodes left this season and new stuff could still be introduced to throw us another curveball. The big question now is how is Diane going to get out of trouble? It seems even if Kalinda confesses, Diane will still be screwed. In other words, Diane is probably more screwed than Kalinda is at this point.

I'm getting impatient with the Bishop storyline. He makes a lot of threats but nothing happens. Even if Alicia tells Geneva Pine to stop going after him, the FBI has an independent investigation on him. They made a big deal of Bishop asking Kalinda to put the blank white card in Lana's wallet. She defied his request and he is A-Okay with it? Has he forgotten all about it? Is it going to come back as a surprise? I have no problem with certain plot points being misdirections, but when they spent a good chunk of an episode ("Red Zone") planting a seed, even giving Kalinda the last scene of the episode ending in a cliffhanger, they had better explain it.

What happened to the white card Bishop told Kalinda to put in Lana's wallet? Kalinda broke it, but doesn't Bishop care about that anymore? They ended that episode with a Kalinda cliffhanger. Will Bishop ever bring it up again?

Would Kalinda go to mat for Lana? I'd say YES. Just because Lana hasn't been in a situation where her life was at stake doesn't mean Kalinda wouldn't go to mat for her. Kalinda would have gone to mat for Will, Alicia and Diane too if they were in the same situation as Cary was in. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised whatever favor Bishop will ask of Kalinda will have something to do with Lana, and it may put Lana in a danger. We'll see what Kalinda will do then.

I think Kalinda was just giving him something to hope for while in prison so he's not going feel dejected for two years. It's also to let him know he has friends out there who will always look out for him and won't abandon him. I don't think it's about romantic love. Kalinda did tell Jeffrey Grant that she *loved* Will. She didn't say it to his face when Will was alive, but clearly she loved him as a friend, as she loved Alicia as a friend. I agree that it's hard for Kalinda to express love to anyone. But she told Lana in 6x09 that "I take you seriously". I think those words were pretty powerful coming from her. It makes her banging session with Cary all the more puzzling. She just agreed to Lana to take her seriously, I took it to mean going steady with her. So she's being unfaithful to Lana two episodes later. It doesn't matter that Cary was about to go to prison, you don't betray someone else so a friend could get his "memories" before going to jail. I hope we get some clarification on the situation with Lana.
