Given the fact that Sarah has been placed in a psych unit on a suicide watch for 72 hours, it's not surprising she isn't forthcoming. If she were willing to set aside her anger, she could have gotten some help for what appears to be a mental illness, or, at least, trauma. The Councilman is moving ahead again on his campaign and Gwen reveals a startling thing. Holder has to work to get Sarah out of the hospital and goes to a facility run by Janek, intimidating a worker into some revelations. Terry talks to Stan and tells him that he needs to forgive himself. He begins the process of trying to be something different to his family. He also tries to do a kindness for the teacher who he almost killed and his wife. Even though the guy threatened him if he ever showed up again.

Linden really?

Warning: Spoilers
Love this show, hate this episode. Linden is a product of the system, yet when she is interviewed by the psychiatrist to determine whether or not she will be released to pursue the case, she selfishly and childishly refuses to answer questions to the extent she has to be carried out , screaming. That doesn't make one ounce of sense writers!!! She would know whose butt to kiss, how high to jump & would have played that shrink like a fiddle to get back out there. Lazy writing.
Also, in case writers ever read these reviews, people who need wheelchairs permanently do not use the ones with the push handles & the arm rests. Those are for temporarily disabled people & the elderly. The wheelchair the Councilman's sister bought "top of the line" is anything but. So many shows get this wrong.
Great show overall tho. Episode 6/10 series 9/10.

Terrible Ep Feels Out of Place
Quicksand31 January 2023
The series is, overall, really good. So it's baffling that they put the main character through the ringer here, spending the entire episode dumping on her and making us doubt her (and her doubt herself) via a psychiatrist who is given zero sympathy or humanity. One character actually says, out loud, without a trace of irony, "This goes all the way to the top!" Another has a shady midnight rendezvous where it's revealed they (gasp!) paid to make a video go viral. Absolutely strange choices and the worst-written episode overall, but by the end we're back on track. The actors remain magnetic and the direction is great throughout the series, but this one was a weird detour they didn't really spend enough time on, and the creative side was asleep at the wheel. I guess every multi-season series has its missteps.
