Looks like the drama at Harrison and Parker is wrapping up
itself in a neat little package to send it off in 6 or so episodes as this
little gem puts even more emphasis on family and living in the moment. I understand these have always been themes of
the show, but the producers have decided to really beat the audience over the
head with them in the last few check in’s with our favorite law lady, Jane.
This week we come back to our lovers (Jane and Grayson) in
sunny afterglow, when Jane totally ruins the moment with the blurt of “I love
you.” Yeah, that’s a bit fast there
Janey. Still, can you blame her? I mean Grayson has always been her one and
with a lifetime of past between them, you would almost expect an I love you or
two. Grayson’s response is more logical,
if not comical… “What?” This of course
is going to spiral into a day or two of self-doubt and misunderstandings, and
just when you thought they were stepping off with the same foot.
The cases this week are total passion cases kicking off with
a girl desperate for a bone marrow transplant, and a terminally Ill mayor who
wants to rent out City Hall to a high school to house kids while their school
is rebuilt. Why the creators are so
content on knocking into family is killing me, can’t we go back to big time scandals?! I mean wouldn’t it go the other way, small
cases leading to serious ones? Oh well,
I’ll continue to watch as they continuously take cheap shots at my heartstrings
with pleas for humanity!
The other big problem I have with this show is the alarming
rate of children who file for emancipation.
I mean, they are quick to jump to that over at H&P, it almost feels
like their magic solution. In all actuality,
not only is it a long arduous process, it very seldom works. Let alone works how the children seeking
emancipation want. I mean have a look at
the requirements, they are pretty insane, I know adults that couldn’t qualify…
Also, Terri is out of prison this week and Kim is ready to
cut her loose, not at all surprised with that one, what with Kim’s
compassionate nature and all. You would
think that motherhood would have made her a touch more understanding of the
suffering of others. Oh wait, this is
Kim we are talking about, if anything the baby is only making her
bitchier. In need of a time out she
would turn to anyone, and in this instance any one is Stacy, for
babysitting. With the twins on the way
she needs as much help as she can get.
As tragic as the cases are, they faded into the background
as my focus was drawn to the strange happenings in the lives of our favorite
lawyers. In the end it just seems like this
episode worked out way too well. I think
this is supposed to be a calm before the storm.
Terri gets to keep her job and tour her music for a month, Owen
convinces Stacy to give him a real chance and finally Grayson says “I love you
too…”
So why am I uneasy?
Well, there has always been something keeping the lovers apart. So why now is it suddenly okay? If you ask me there is most likely some kind
of danger looming in the distance, why else would they keep on past a seemingly
happy ending?
