Sandra fights for her client, Seth fights for Allison, and Kate and Leonard fight their sexual tension.
In the Southern District of New York, what goes around comes around, huh?
First of all, yay.

My heart is singing.
How did this happen?
GIVE ME THE DEETS.
Their little baby bird lawyers?
Sandra is having a meltdown.
In the meantime, she is handed a new client: Alice Wong.
Alice is being charged with espionage against the United States.
Sandra feels as though shes lost this case even before it begins.
It is Mohammed Fayed all over again.
Allison finds her BFF in a panic and has to talk her down.
Have we ever seen Sandra Bell so emotional?
She didnt even break down in tears when she was cuffed to that railing in a hospital.
She just cant lose a case like this again what is happening to Alice Wong is unfair.
Allison gives her girl a big hug and suggests thats what Sandra tells the jury.
She chooses no-strings attached Toby.
It seems like this will be short-lived.
Also, isnt she proud of Seth for trying oysters?
Back in court, Sandra listens to her very best friend Allison.
In her Profound Closing Argument Moment, Sandra brings this curious pattern up.
That is the dark truth of this case.
It is all verydramaticand veryshouty.
Still, it works.
Alice Wong is found not guilty of espionage and Sandra Bell doesnt flip any tables over in rage.
Alone in the courtroom, Sandra is visited by Jill.
You know, in case you were wondering what Sandras demon will be going forward in the show.
At this moment though, Sandra doesnt have to worry about those things.
Sandra winds up in the elevator with Judge Byrne.
He leans over and tells her that shes worthy.
Its a very nice callback to the pilot, but tell us something we dont know.
No one is happy about this.
Well, except for us because all Jay and Kate scenes are delightful.
Why is this a federal case?
Because two other parents at the school the Gallaghers are lawyers and friendly with people in high places.
After meeting with Nancy, Jay is sure she is innocent.
They are outsiders there.
Nancy has tried to make too many changes in her new position and people arent happy about it.
You know what that means!
Its time for a Jay and Kate team up!
Let there be more of these in season 2.
The principal knows the punch in of drug found in Nancys car a detail that was not released publicly.
The principal framed Nancy!
Aw, how nice!
Kates not celebrating for very long.
The job is his if he wants it.
He wants to know what Kate thinks he should do.
What ensues is a scene in which two characters are speaking but no one is saying what they mean.
There is heat, but also sadness.
Finally, Kate works up the courage to tell Leonard what she thinks.
Mainly, being in Texas.
It is so cute and so Kate and Leonard adores it.
But then, she hits him with the big one.
This list could really be just one item long.
He shouldnt go because she would miss him too much.
She says this as she is tearing up.
What is this world and can we stay here forever?
The answer is no, we cant, because Leonard has already accepted the job.
Now it can never be their spot!
And the two of them end up sitting on Seths couch, heartbroken, watchingRocky 4.
And by everyone I mainly mean me.
How is everyone else feeling?
How will Leonard get out of this job without being disowned by his mother?
Will Allison and Seth reunite?
Will Sandra ever clean up her office?
Teamwork makes the dream work, people.
