I really liked the kimono moment, I thought it was original and you might not have even noticed if you weren't aware.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Compassionately intolerant
This is what I'm saying! Clever.
Plus, it must be a known fashion element that chopsticks in the hair draw the eyes up. Sort of like 'black is slimming'.
I was hoping she'd be listening to The Mikado in the background to reference why she was wearing Asian-wear in London.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The kimono moment was very clever. It was one of the first times I had an I See What You Did There moment; I hadn't really noticed the pregnancy much.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I know! The Numb3rs pregnancy stuff was all "carrying a massive box" methods. I like how they've handled this pregnancy in both narrative and visual senses.
I thought at the very beginning when she (eta: Jeri's char) showed up that there was something off and they should question her and the client separately afterwards. But then I forgot about it until the reveal.
However, I also thought that Nate's announcement of her parentage on the stand, without talking to her, was irresponsible. I don't know how well I would have taken that kind of news in public revelation. Furthermore, it's already been proven that the Bad Lawyer has no qualms about killing the person they thought was the daughter. I think they put her in danger in the duration until the ruling comes down.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think revealing her in front of the judge (good to see a Latina judge, he says) saves her. If she disappears now...well, hard for that to happen with the lawyer in jail and his muscle turned against him. But it would all point to him.

The "wise Latina judge" aside made me giggle.

Trust my rage
Just wanted to add that I too thought the kimono was clever. They have handled that situation well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I realize I don't look at the TV as much as one might, but I had no idea she was preggo.

They've actually hidden it pretty well. They've done a lot of face shots, had her sitting at a table or desk, or shots of her from the back.
