Nice touch of irony, winding down the series by delivering funeral sprays to the party. Nice to see the flow of familiar faces show up for the occasion. Strong episode with the Zach story-line. I have this sinking feeling Alicia is going to stay with Peter. It boils down to what message the writers want to send about the institution of marriage. "It's his mistake, let him make it." And the good-byes start with end of the party. Nice segue.

This was a very strong episode. Even Peter's trial suddenly started to seem very interesting as they concretely told what it is about.

Seriously! It was the first episode I enjoyed. Probably because of the kids being back. I love them. I am a weak soul for family time

Lol, now I feel weird. For me...while the episode wasn't bad, I kinda missed something. Don't know what, but it just felt like a filler episode tbh. It was nice seeing the family complete, but I disliked the Zach storyline and everything just felt weird for me At this point I am not sure Alicia is really going through with the divorce and I highly doubt she will give up her firm to ride across the country with Jason. The deed to Mars thingie was funny though and I liked the Diane parts. Oh, and am I the only one, or does it look like they are having the idea of a Marissa centric spin-off? I'd be down with that, I love her!

Nah. They only want people to be "shocked" that she leaves him after all. It's the poor "twist" setup mentality.

we had a 48h warning back in March when I was away for a couple of weeks. Hopefully, with a little work, we'll manage to stay open until the show's finale. And then we'll always have the tv board

Zach always bothers me. In early seasons they were portraying him as micro-Peter, but later he becomes better, yet now he is stupid again.

Story of the Florrick Children They are whatever they need to be for Alicia to look like a good mom or a terrible mom, depending.

Yeah that was just poorly written. She's grown up a bit, that's good.

I agree they are trying to shock but I think RK is trying to shock people because she will stay with him even when she has Jason there instead. I could be wrong but idk, either way I don't care

Hell honestly not even the critics care anymore. Probably RK and his ego.
