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.

All right. I really have to watch this. I intended to to watch it last night, but ended up putting this up for IVAW [link] .

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.

Of course, now she'll never practice law

I was wondering about that, Vortex, what actual laws/rules did she break/could she be charged with? Or is it more a matter of proving to be a non-ethical person even before passing the bar? (I mean, obviously we all know she was wrong and bad, I was curious what actual charges could realistically be filed?)

Misconduct rules prohibit lawyers from conduct involving misrepresentation or dishonesty. Also one could argue that since David knew that she was going to be an attorney that he believed that their conversations were confidential. She certainly knew that he was sharing confidential information, and lawyers have a duty to keep confidential information as such. Finally, there is the ever popular "moral turpitude". If she went to church (she is going to HELL) planning to meet him to get information about MC out of him, you could also throw fraud in there. (situation would have been murkier if she had been legit, but Goldman approached her and offered to help with her loans)

The fact that she is not a lawyer yet won't save her because most bar exam applications ask if you've ever been accused/convicted of a crime involving dishonesty.
