Not too much to say about this episode, except for: Grace <3 Seriously, I've never loved her as much as tonight. Realistic? No. But very amusing.

Also liked Diane's case of the week

This season is a disappointment to date. Too many plot lines, and they are not melded.Very little character development. Except for bond court, Alicia has not been in the courtroom or emotionally involved in a case. All the signs of an excellent series running out of steam.

If not for Grace and Diane I don't what I would have done. Grace Florrick is amazing

Grace snatched Lockhart's clients which Diane will now try to get back.

I did enjoy Grace and Diane although so much of the show just follows old themes and reused plotlines.

plus, no offense to Grace but she's not exactly nemesis or mastermind material and it's more than a little insulting to Diane to face her off with her.

Grace was extremely clever in using all of those laptops (how many do they have in that house!?) to create the allusion of a busy office. Loved when she told the prospective client that she had to shut the door because of the noise ...closing the laptop. Smart girl.

Totally! I loved it when the laptop started to make horse noices, haha. I wonder why they have so many (expensive!) laptops at home when they had financial issues Grace was superb!
