The protesters bought the original paint, and the only chance that Gina Gershon had to examine it was when she saw it on the museum patron's shoes. So Gina runs to the paint store and buys the EXACT same paint - an exact enough match to fool a police lab test. Elsbeth took 2 minutes to explain that this wasn't a big deal, because all of the nearby hardware stores carry the same brand of paint, ok, fine. But there are about 5000 colors to choose from, plus matte vs flat vs glossy, plus at least 2-3 quality levels for any given paint manufacturer. So how was Gina able to pinpoint the exact shade and finish and quality of paint to buy? Seriously, I recently had to buy a paint sample to match a wall in my own house, and I had to study a bunch of paint cards at home under different lighting, and it still doesn't look exactly right. But Gina nailed it on the first try??? The writers should have at least made the paint be white or black, to make this a little more plausible.

Elsbeth has yet to have a really bad episode, but this one was a little bit uneven for my liking. Gina Gershon never got as villainous as maybe the character should have been, and I feel like they did not get as superficial as they could have with the whole plastic surgery angle.

The Good Wife universe has always been about being over the top when it comes to the superficial elements so I feel like that was a missed opportunity, but so far this show continues to be the kind of mystery I look forward to each and every week. Even the clunkers are better than a lot of the procedurals we get elsewhere.
