The original partners were Beverly Crest, Merritt Folding (the voice only heard over the phone so far), and Alistair Song (the embezzler). Margaret essentially took Alistair's place after his ousting, so there's still three name partners.

The office manager was the woman fired in the beginning of episode 3. Even though she's been kind of uncharacteristically petulant this season, I really hope Susan is playing Beverly. She's shown herself to be way too savvy in the past to not see what's going on, even if it's not spelled out to her. The office manager is gone. Todd's noticed the change in coffee, pastries, toilet paper and floral arrangements. Margaret keeps heaping praise upon her but deferring promotion to senior associate. People are referring to Margaret as the Grim Reaper now. All the clues are there. Other things of note: - During that sit down with Margaret in episode 3, Susan said she's been the highest billing associate in the past two years. Definitely explains why Beverly has taken her under her wing now if she's planning on jumping ship, starting a new firm and leave Margaret holding the bag. - The vendor threatening collections this week, Sam's Bagels & Pastries, is the same one from episode 3. At the end of the episode, Margaret took Sandra Bernard's character's advice and added a 1 to the due date changing it from March 4 to March 14. - In the same episode, Alex the forensic accountant used a lifted fingerprint to access Beverly's computer. Maybe she's working with Song to completely bankrupt the firm after he got caught embezzling? Or maybe he was never really the embezzler, Beverly is, and Alex is snooping around for proof?

My understanding was that the bomb would be able to find Lyra no matter which world she was in because it works by seeking DNA. So they had the weapon they needed to destroy her but didn't have the ammo until Marisa walked in with a lock of Lyras's hair in her locket.

I oscillate between calling her Deadpan Nurse and Snarky Nurse in my head too, so I get it lol. But yeah, that's Ellen. I only know for sure because I watch with the captions on.

Kate didn't call Asta, Ellen did. The clinic had been backlogged since Harry went into hiding.

He said, "Sorry, but you've been found guilty by a vigilante mob of bridge-and-tunnel lunatics." Bridge-and-tunnel is New Yorker/Manhattanite slang for the people who commute there, via bridges and tunnels, for work and/or social events. Basically, locals vs outsiders.

Did anybody else feel like these last two episodes were switched? I made a remark to my friend that the lengthy previouslies on this episode seemed more like the S1 recap you'd expect on a S2 premiere, not S2E2. Harry's resurrection decision in the last episode also makes muuuuch more sense with the additional context of this Flies & Bees/Zaki/"the next Khashoggi" story line.

Not only was Grandma wearing a red dress when she encouraged the punching, the influencer filmed against a red background both times. I hate when shows have characters act nonsensically just to drive the plot. Even if Kristen is an atheist and doesn't believe in any kind of faith or superstition, she saw those girl jab things in their ears after being exposed to the song. I have a really hard time believing she'd then listen to that video, out loud with no earbuds, in the same house as her daughters when she has a perfectly good office right next door.

Since there's supposed to be some clue there with the numbers, I figured I'd list all the episode titles in one place so it's easier to puzzle over:

It felt like they were juggling too many stories in the episode. Lola had 2/3 stories, Mark had 2 stories and Emily had 2/3 stories. We weren't shown nearly enough of Lola's first case for me to have any kind of emotional investment about car theft guy's actions later on, certainly not enough to overlook interrupting an ongoing case to keep abreast of his car chase. Conversely, I really would have liked to know more backstory about Emily's client, the death of her brother and how she's felt the system failed her but it was just used a vehicle to introduce the ethics complaint. Do you mean presented to the court or presented to us, the viewers? Though not explicitly stated, it seemed like this was taking place before the prelim/probable cause hearing was even held because the grand theft of the ring was what took the misdemeanor trespassing charges up to felony burglary. With the "theft" outed as fraud and his own expert claiming there was no intent, he would have been foolish to waste the court's time by waiting until the hearing to drop the charges.

It was (Jonah) Simms, (Garrett) McNeill, (Cheyenne) Thompson, (Justine) Sikowicz, Vasquez, Bradley and (Sandra) Kaluiokalani. There were two other employees standing there when Dina was explaining the whole thing to Jonah and Cheyenne so I guess they're Vasquez and Bradley.

How so? He did exactly what he was supposed to do, give an honest reference. Hell, the cousin of ill repute couldn't even be bothered to ask OA directly, instead he had his dad tell OA that he'd already given Newark PD his info for a reference. You pretty much get what you deserve when you spring that on a person you already know doesn't think very highly of you. The cousin thought he could leverage OA's professional reputation with familial obligation and it turns out he thought wrong.

This show is entirely too new to be treading water already. When Eve showed up, I immediately thought they should have cast that actress as Ainsley. She has such a presence, the kind that makes sense for the up-and-coming journalist/news personality Ainsley is supposed to be, and great chemistry with Bellamy.

It originally went viral because people were making fun of her obvious attempt to fish for compliments on her voice and look like a relatable mom. The premise was that her last stop on the office tour was to swing by the nursery to wake Stormi up from her nap with her rise and shine struggle vocals and then head home. Only she's shown explaining this from outside the nursery door and the next shot is of her walking into the nursery and singing this to Stormi, who's standing up in her crib. So a camera person was already in position inside the nursery to catch this totally candid and authentic mother/daughter moment where Kylie wakes her already up and alert child.

Every time I'm done watching an episode I'm left with the feeling that the writers think Bull is far more likable than he actually is. It started off shaky but I've got to admit that "she really loved that horse" got a smirk out of me. An interesting thing I noticed. What exactly is Marissa's job title? It irked me that, in her absence, things that seem like assistant duties fell to Dani (investigator; former FBI) and then Taylor (cyber expert; former Homeland Security) while the menfolk weren't expected to pick up any slack. I felt insulted for Taylor that the former HSec. analyst got stuck with personal calendar duty while Chunk got to work on his coursework, presumably on the clock, when he used to just be the image consultant.
