A good episode, with an assault case running the length of the episode and resolved in the final 5 minutes. There hasn't been much courtroom action as of late and this episode doesn't really change that but takes its moments of high drama and intrigue from another source. A disgruntled employee threatens Diane in a letter that targets not just her but the whole office. Caught up in action, Maia and Marissa especially make the best of a bad situation! Following her "experimenting" with psilocybin in episode 1, Diane spends this episode at first distracted by the events around her (which is understandable), following an admonishment in court by the judge, she reaches something of a resolution and stops caring so deeply, it seems, about everything. Whether this is the best attitude for a named partner remains to be seen!
Now, with Barbara Kolstad's sudden departure being addressed with nothing so much as a wave from across, the firm is now "Reddick, Boseman and Lockhart" which I guess was inevitable but it wasn't really explained. That and the Rindell case seemingly swept under the carpet in short order prior to this episode, seems to suggest were going to move in a different direction from the previous storylines. We'll have to see where it takes us!
