And, as her words indicate, Diane is content.
Everythings going to be all right, Kurt says.
It is my favorite my series on television.

Directed by Robert King he of Robert and Michelle King, a.k.a.
), and straight-up comedy, with aSchoolhouse Rock-style animated explainer and a somewhat meta story about Maia.
As I mentioned above, the happiness Diane is experiencing doesnt last long.
As she and Kurt get dressed for their days, she finds someones blonde hair on Kurts jacket.
Her mind immediately jumps to an affair because, well, weve been down this road before.
He also raped the firms stenographer, Wendy.
The scripts handling of the firms response is interesting as well.
Both Adrian and Diane are somewhat conflicted about how to handle the situation.
The person most troubled by all of this is, of course, Liz.
At first Liz is upset and tearful, because this destroys every memory she had of her father.
From there she maintains her anger, but she channels it into protecting the firm.
This shouldnt come as a surprise, but Audra McDonald delivers a powerful performance in the premiere.
Its not politics, its work, says Kurt.
But that doesnt change Dianes mind.
To make matters worse, Kurt is going on a safari trip with them.
But Kurt cant talk about it at all because, to Dianes horror, he signed a NDA.
Right now the firm is trying to rebrand itself and update its website.
(Theres a running theme in this episode of daughters being forced to pay for their fathers crimes.)
After the pep talk, Maia is noticeably more self-assured.
She props her feet up on her desk now while reading legal documents!
We are firm with no past, Liz says.
And Im looking forward to what this fresh start means for the rest of the season.
