I don't understand the negative reviews on this episode. Is it the best episode of the entire show? No. Did it move the overall plot of the season? Not really. But it's an incredibly interesting. It's not flashy. It's not scandalous or have big plot twists. But it's well crafted and gives a wonderful insight into the mindset of our main character. It was great seeing her mind at work. It reflects the way most of us think, in a nonlinear and compounded sort of way. Not every episode has to have bid dramatic moments. Some can be interesting and insightful character studies. That what this is and it does is wonderfully. People who are bored by this much have the attention span of a goldfish and a matching brain size to boot.

This is a fantastic episode. To say it's bland/typical is just ignorant. It's wonderful character building, giving a glimpse into Alicia before the scandal and the stand up way she handles the case. It also deepens the relationships netween the main characters. Carey gets more and we see his true motives. Also Will and Diane are developing more here. Not to mention the kids who start playing a more pivotal role as the show moves one. As always, this show is finely wrtten and planned out, unlike most network shows. The first couple episodes were solid but this one is the stepping stone of how the show became so good.
