You are selling me out

Warning: Spoilers
Reggie Moses is visited by Attorney Peter Goldman at San Quentin and a gang member is found shot to death in Tyrell Baylor's car with Goldman's business card on him. These events begin the installment where Brenda learns who was involved in the Baylor killing, the J. Rock murder and who calls for all these hits. There is an ugly confrontation toward the very end after the murders are solved; it involves attorney one and attorney two, naming this reviews title.

Sanchez to Chief Johnson behind closed car doors where he offers terse facts, J. Rock was killed by members of his own gang, like Tyrell Baylor. There is no money trail to follow, it is all a cash business. Everything you do from here will get back to Goldman, you need to follow-up on your own, trust no one. If you're not sure who you can trust Chief, don't trust anyone; remember what J. Rock was thinking when he parked the car, he died in that same car trusting his friends.

Fritz tells Brenda the convenience-store was sold for three times its worth to a concern owned by Marvin Evans, who happened to pay for Charlie Niles' funeral and his grandson; Evans grew up one block from the Baylor house.

Chief Johnson hopes Goldman becomes aware of her interview with Evans and his attorney.

She shares with Evans the fact Goldman visited Reggie Moses in prison; Goldman knows the names of Baylor's killers and who killed J. Rock. Brenda ordered all officers into the media room to watch the Evans interview. She plays the recorded message between Moses and Evans referring to the meeting Reggie had with attorney Goldman bragging he knows everything about the Baylor case with names of the other gang members. Brenda looks at Evans, stating J. Rock gave all the names to Goldman of everyone murdering Tyrell Baylor. Brenda orders the officers to bring in the remaining names on the list Goldman received from J. Rock; Provenza reiterates the order as Brenda leaves on her mission to speak with Evans privately, no attorney present.

Lefthanded Ricky Rock shot his own brother. J. Rock was to further implicate Chief Johnson according to Evans, Brenda tells Evans she had to talk to him because Goldman is still hounding her after they found the attorney's card on J. Rock's body.

After the FBI literally grabs Marvin Evans from his condo doorway, the ugliness of the story rears its head when Brenda faces Goldman with Pope, her attorney Baker with Raydor observing.

A settlement was reached without clearing Brenda's name, further insulting the matter with the Johnson rule in the settlement document. Brenda fires Gavin, shouting they conspired to settle without her consent, you are selling me out, she storms out of Pope's office followed by Captain Raydor. The rule makes Brenda look guilty when she just solved the murder she was accused.

The good news is this is the last of seeing Goldman in further installments, same with Gavin; one was a slimy so-in-so the other close behind.

There are several items brought forth in the story revealing character traits some of us knew beforehand. The episode is certainly in the top most tier of season seven. Take note of Brenda's careful effort to prevent further leaks, truly heeding Detective Sanchez's warning to trust no one.
