FAIRLY LEGAL “Bridges” Season 1 Episode 10 – I knew this finale was going to be something else when one of the first things that Kate does in the opening scene is call a doctor’s office to check on a pregnancy test.
After that, it’s pretty much like any other episode – with Kate running around trying to solve everyone’s problems but her own. She gets in trouble left and right and no one seems to care (okay, well maybe a few people do but not all of them) that she’s solving all these problems and neglecting herself along the way. Lauren just sees that Kate kept a secret hidden from her and fires her and Justin..wow, Justin.
I’m sorry, but I kinda felt like Justin was being a jerk. Sure Kate dropped a bomb on him but he seems to forget that it’s kinda a bomb for her, too, right? Plus he didn’t even seem to care that she was dealing with the case of a missing little girl. Kate being pregnant (if she had been) wasn’t going to change over the next few hours, so why not let her do what she needed to do and then talk later? Maybe it’s because I’m a woman so I automatically sympathize with her, but I had a hard time understanding Justin’s actions in this episode.
But just when I thought this one was going to end with Kate crying herself to sleep (because, hell, that’s what I would have done after the day she’d just had), she picks herself up and declares that she will be back. It was a fantastic way to end the first season and I felt like she was speaking to all of us fans, promising us a great season
2..which I know hasn’t been announced yet but I like to think positively…Kate taught me that one.
My favorite bits…
Whoa, wait…what?? Pregnancy test?? Okay wow, I so did not see that coming at all.
Justin telling Kate she had a strange look on her face. Uh oh..
Judge Nicastro remarking that Kate being on time was the sign of the end of days.
The judge agreeing that her dad was a great man, but still not giving her any more time. Jeez he’s tough.
Kate accusing the guy of playing dirty pool when he reminded her that it was a little girl they were talking about.
Feeling so bad for that little girl’s father after hearing his story.
The one old guy telling the other old guy that he was gonna have enough gas to get them all the Pittsburgh. Har!
Leo getting out of an awkward situation by claiming that he had something burning…in his head.
Kate’s plan to stop Pete from going up the elevator by pulling the fire alarm backfiring on her when the sprinklers went off.
Leo realizing that he’d become Kate when he had to whistle to be heard over the two griping old guys. LOL.
Kate telling Pete that if he ran away she was going to hunt him down and kill him. Subtle.
Justin forcing Kate to admit that she thought she was pregnant in the middle of a crowded room.
If my day was going like Kate’s, I’m sure I’d say that nearly being thrown in jail or causing an international incident weren’t the worst parts of my day either.
Kate turning on the Jersey accent to keep the two brothers in line. Nice!
Thinking it was so sweet that Nica asked for Kate. Considering how crazy everything was for that poor girl, I can’t say that I blame her.
My heart breaking for that little girl when she said she didn’t want to have to choose.
Kate telling Nica that she could play with anything on Leo’s desk. LOL.
Leo rendering Kate speechless when he solved the problem of the fighting brothers. I gotta admit, his plan was pretty darn brilliant.
Kate pointing out to Pete and the grandmother that they needed to figure out how to share Nica because if they didn’t, someone else was going to for them. Wow, what an amazing way to put that.
Wow, I know Lauren was cold but up until she fired Kate and gave the fact that she didn’t like her as one of the reasons, I never realized just how cold.
Seeing that Leo was able to hear everything going on between Justin and Kate.
“I spend half my time thinking about how much I love you and I spend the other half wishing I’d never met you.” – That has got to be one of the worst things one person has ever said to another person, like, ever.
Judge Nicastro touching Kate’s face and giving her a little rub on the arm when he told her that her dad cast a pretty big shadow. Loving the idea of him as maybe a pseudo father figure next season.
Leo saying that he was cleaning out his desk and work on his graphic novel. Aw! So like him to quit when he found out she was fired.
Kate’s triumphant “I’ll be back!”
