also starting to wonder if jeannie's taking one for the team doesn't include a speech in front of everyone in which she talks about the affair.

**Mason30** · 04-02-2012, 02:27 AM

wow, what a great way to finish the season.

stuff with marty and roscoe even when he wasnt in the scenes was awesome.
and also loved that scene between jeannie and wes.

don and kristen are amazing.

**ElectricHearts** · 04-02-2012, 02:41 AM

i felt bad for marty

that it was roscoe who decided to go to monica. i wasnt surprised though ... yea and what was so great abotu the ending was you knew then that really marty and jeannie were pretty much the same.. and they addressed that.. and it was a great way to end the season.. you could kinda tell that next season we will definitely be learning more of doug and clyde since those are the two left we dont know much about.. this season was really about marty and jeannie..

'House Of Lies' Finale: Jeannie Takes Down The Rainmaker With Drunken Reveal (VIDEO)

i liked that it was jeannie that saved the day.

but i'm intrigued by the notion that it proves she does not have a moral high ground anymore - and that she is essentially the same person as marty, willing to do anything for the job (this i agree is fairly accurate - she is willing to do anything - except kill children).but while it can be interpreted that she does indeed lack a moral or ethical intention, you can also look at it from the angle of her being the only woman there with the stones to make a stand. by falling on the sword and sacrificing herself (which is what would have happened if nobody else had stood up) she showed greater character and moral sincerity than anybody else in the show thus far. She is redeemable. yes she wanted to save her job (and sleeping with him in the first place was self serving), but i don't think that there was any doubt that she would do just fine with or without galweather anyway. she put her pod above herself - she was a good guy, and this is something that we have not seen yet from marty or anyone else on the team. would they have been moved to do the same for her, for the company or for the pod? i feel it's unlikely.

Quote:

Jeannie has been an interesting character to watch this season. Played expertly by Bell, she begins as a tough, secretive person, and ends as one who will expose parts of herself for the right reasons. She is never going to be the typical girl, perhaps, feeling more comfortable in the boys' club. But by getting in touch with a shameful moment, one that bonds her to her "sisters," she saves the day. Then she breaks off her engagement because, well, accepting the truth about this makes her accept the truth about not being ready for marriage, too.

To celebrate, she goes shot for shot with Marty (Don Cheadle). Why does she do this? Could it be that she just needs to get drunk after a long, difficult evening? Could it be to wash away the embarrassment, even if only for one night? Or is it to prove to Marty, The Pod, and herself that she is still as strong as ever? That admitting a sexual affair does not weaken her or her ability to do her job? Whatever the reason, it's a moving scene that certainly conveys a message, even if it is one left open to interpretation. Awards bait for Bell, perhaps?
