Damages: Everyone's Evil and Hiding Something

Damages: "Burn It, Shred It, I Don't Care"

The play-by-play:
  • Hmm, Ellen's still monologuing...
  • Patty is hanging on by a thread. Geez. It's not like she's never seen a dead person before. Ray shot himself in her freaking office.
  • Hmm, so now we're looking for a short Aryan guy with blond, stringy hair.
  • At least Patty took charge and got poor Daniel some juice.
  • Oh, boo, the FBI's trying to bring down Tom (Jimmy Cooper)! Leave Tom alone!
  • It's almost like Patty knows what's going on (with Ellen and the FBI). She didn't cop to anything when Ellen was wearing the wire either.
  • Why's Daniel protecting these people now? They just killed his wife. I guess he still needs to protect his daughter.
  • Ellen is wearing some serious heels for working in the middle of the night.
  • Oh, Ellen, don't offer to "help in any way" you can. Patty will hold you to that, and you aren't going to like it.
  • Oh, Ellen, don't sass the FBI.
  • Ellen: "Tom's a big boy. He wants to break the law, then he can pay the price."
  • Frobisher is out of the hospital.
  • Yeah, no, David would not want Ellen to get revenge.
  • Dude, Wes (the therapy group guy) is so not helpful. He's definitely egging her on; and he must have an ulterior motive for doing that.
  • Wow, Michael looks like he's been hitting the flat iron kind of hard.
  • So, is this woman just acting? She's an FBI plant, right? So she's trying to entrap Tom? So that he'll have to cut a deal and turn on Patty? Ok, I understand.
  • Wow, Tom, you just caved right in there, didn't you? I guess he hasn't shaken his Jimmy Cooper law-breaking tendencies.
  • Hmm, I wonder what this compound does? You know what would be awesome? If it tied into Frobisher.
  • Dude, the guy from the EPA is in the pocket of the energy industry guy (Wayne). Oops.
  • Wow, that's quite the hairdo Ellen's rocking today. For a second when Tom and Patty called her into the room, I thought they wanted to see her for a hair intervention!
  • Whoa, that sonogram thing was bizarre. I had no idea what was going on. If I were Ellen, it would have taken me a few more days to figure that one out. It would have taken a long time for me to realize that the sonogram "belonged" to the one guy in the room.
  • Now Wes is using reverse psychology because he knows Ellen doesn't really want to kill Frobisher. He's telling her not to go after him so she'll go after him.
  • Hmm, Wes has a nice little stalker wall there right next to the heavy artillery. Creepy!
  • I'm concerned that there are too many people with secret agendas being introduced all at once. Last season we had a lot of people, but their evilness was displayed gradually. First, Frobisher was evil, then Patty, then someone else... Now it's like everyone's evil all at once.
  • Tom got Ellen her gun (from a creepy abandoned building type place). Interesting.
  • Oh, Patty bugs the office. Of course she does.
  • Tom's really going to go through with the payoff! I thought he had some hidden scheme and a way to get out of it.
  • I thought it was Ellen who called to warn Tom, but it was Patty who called it off.
  • Ellen looks a little more professional today. She's wearing a dress shirt and her hair is not in a beehive. Oh, but she is wearing some weird pants... Perhaps she's dealing with her grief by doing a lot of (sometimes misguided) clothing shopping.
  • Patty's a smarty--now she knows who commissioned the report.
  • Hmm, Daniel's having some kind of relations with the energy company's lawyer lady. I'm not a shocked as I'm supposed to be. After all, when everyone is evil and hiding something, everyone is evil and hiding something.
  • What I don't really get is why Daniel seems so hell bent on dragging Patty into this despite not really seeming to want her help. Especially since he's already involved with the other lawyer lady.
