Every episode just gets better than the one before.
This is the first one with Perry as attorney, and he fumbles around just like you'd expect somebody to do who became an attorney the way that he did and experienced such an abrupt transition. He feels like he doesn't belong and he shows lots of righteous anger at the way the D.A. is just putting obstacles in his path. There is a great scene with him driving the back roads talking to himself that is Emmy worthy.
Della gets a chance to do more than answer phones, and she is really up to the challenge, much more assured of herself than Perry.
The mystery is quite convoluted, and I liked the scene on the back porch between Perry and his former partner P.I. who both calms him down and lays out the evidence he's found and says "I don't know what it all means either." It made me feel a little less stupid.
As for Paul Drake, he's discovering he has agency. Can founding one be far behind?
As for Sister Alice, my feelings for her have changed the most. In the beginning I just thought she was some bleached blonde embezzler of the megachurch crowd, but she shows such kindness towards Emily that I think is genuine and plus she is having odd memories that make me think her story could be headed into Delores Claiborne territory. Just a guess by me, nothing more.
The episode ends with a cliffhanger. Perry's hands are up just as they were at the end of Episode Five, but for completely different reasons. I can't wait to see what happens in the next episode. And I think "potty mouthed lady" just may be my favorite cameo appearance of season one.
