Unorthodox

What we wish they would say...

1. Alicia to make her feelings clear to either Will or Peter. Woman time to make a choice or at least commit to something

2. Kalinda to talk to her cops friends and send Blake packing maybe she can say "I told you this was not going to end well for you"

3. Peter to confront Alicia about the bedroom situation. Maybe Peter can ask her again "Do you love me? Do you want to be together?"
