I honestly expected it to be her father, given his history. On the other hand, given the many times during the episode that her mother said "Brenda I need a few minutes to talk to you" and Brenda kept blowing her off -- seriously, you've got an elderly mom caring for a critically ill father, and you can't give her 10 minutes of your time?
Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You'll find out what I meant, TB, once you've watched it.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Did none of you guys watch it, or it didn't provoke any urge to talk?
I was too tired to post that night, but the commercials pretty much gave away that something big was going to happen. I figured it out a few minutes before it happened.

I figured it out the first time she called for her, but I hadn't seen any of the ads, so I didn't know there was a "thing" coming down the pike. Which, I guess, was, good, right? I was totally gobsmacked once I did work it out, because of course we're thinking her dad's mortality is the issue here.
And having her die with her eyes open...extra chilling.

The ads were all Brenda screaming for Fritz, so once I saw that her dad was awake and mom was not, I knew what was coming.

I figured something was up when Brenda first blew her off - actually, divorce was the first thing that crossed my mind. When her dad said she had slept in my immediate reaction was "that is not a woman who sleeps in".

Shouldn't that be "pipe"?

"that is not a woman who sleeps in".
Yes, that was my thought process too.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Well, we called that. Although I didn't think that she had been hired, more that she saw an opportunity, or maybe she had been approached by him because she was David's girlfriend. I never thought that he'd schemed from the beginning.
Of course, now she'll never practice law, and Goldman can be brought up on ethics charges. It won't affect the lawsuit, though.
