E: Last year, we found out that Chicago grand juries will indict a ham sandwich if so directed by the prosecutors. So when Will Gardner faced the grand jury, everyone was pretty sure what was going to happen. I freaking love this show. What a smart little moment! Although, to be fair, they must hear a lot of pontificating. I had a coworker who was stuck on a grand jury once for 18 months. Just one day a week, but can you imagine? She introduces herself, Cary and Dana who are sitting at a bench, stage left.
The jurors look down on Wendy from curved desks, sort of like the Romans looking down on the gladiators and lions in the Colosseum. Metaphorical lions. William Paul Gardner β his full name, neat. Diane, on the other hand, is wearing upholstery fabric again. Altogether a different look.
I wanted to talk to you before I broke this to the equity partners and associates. Are we ever going back there? Peter put Wendy in charge, she explains further; Alicia, distressed, closes her eyes again.
And with that damning injunction, Diane leaves the room. Gold today? She takes in the pictures of their children, the Cook County seal. He belongs in this episode. She runs away, leaving him looking a bit blank. A sign warns to us that a grand jury sits within. Will talks with Elsbeth in the hall Elsbeth! She catches her breath at the sight of him β a tiny, involuntary intake β and they move toward each other, never breaking the heart stopping eye contact. He jerks his head to indicate the whole situation.
Alicia greets her warmly. I love her. So much. Will apparently ranks above Peter, at least where Peter is in the wrong, but definitely below Grace and Zach. Wendy smiles happily to herself. You did tell her to help, Diane. Alicia rolls her eyes to Will a bit, affectionately.
