A ricin scare and a ‘Bachelor in Paradise’-inspired case
God, I loveThe Good Fight.
Sometimes everything the show tries to do might not work, but its never boring.
There are a few issues with both stories, but their sums far outweigh their respective problems.

Obviously, the connection doesnt believe its responsible for Melanies assault, but it definitely is.
The footage of the night in question is scary, troubling, and also awkward.
(One of the male producers manipulated her into getting naked.)
The nudity becomes a bit more problematic when we eventually see the actual assault on camera.
Its upsetting and hard to watch, but the use of nudity definitely makes its depiction feel very gratuitous.
You became one of those guys.
They quickly alert the partners and Jay.
The ensuing evacuation sequence is thrilling and just plain old fun, mostly due to David Buckleys propulsive score.
Lucca goes into action and MacGyvers some masks for Marissa and Maia to wear.
This entire sequence tells a whole lot about how fearless Lucca is as a person.
Why is her husband here?
I dont know and dont care.
Its a contrived move that doesnt add anything to the story.
Back upstairs in the firm, the hazmat team arrives.
Because shes Marissa, she begins flirting with Drew, one of the hazmat guys.
(DearGood Fightwriters, pelase give us more Marissa-Maia drinking together scenes.)
Even though this entire ricin scare ends up being nothing, it still leaves Diane quite shaken.
So thats what Diane does, and in a surprising development, she ends up microdosing as she channel-surfs.
(What a silly resolution.)
Yet Diane just starts laughing again.
Adrian decides to take a moment and asks if she really plans on leaving the law.
Diane says no, but explains that shes found the key to happiness: insensitivity.
How insensitive to the chaos is Diane?
Baranski is doing such a fantastic job of conveying just how this topsy-turvy world has turned Diane upside-down too.
I love this show.
