When Rusty confronts Dr. Kumagai about it, he finds out that Carolynchosenot to reveal this information deliberately.

He literally jumps at Dr. Kumagais neck.

Even though I hate him, its pretty funny when Tommy mimics the attack for Della Guardia.

Im hoping we get more insight into Tommy, too.

Who hurt that man?Whyis he so bothered?

Even Della Guardia, that slimy know-it-all, seems like a bastion of integrity in comparison.

I like this side of Barbara its kind of selfish and cold.

For the first time, we see Rusty isolated from the family unit.

It completely baffles him that the tables can turn so easily.

Jake Gyllenhaal is playing him expertly.

Gyllenhaals Rusty, on the other hand, is convincingly desperate and, therefore, human.

His emotions are running high, close to the surface.

His distress is palpable when he turns up at Raymonds door to ask him to be his defense attorney.

Even Reynolds recognizes it.

You cant help but feel for this guy.

His life is truly falling apart.

Rigo and Raymond both give Rusty a tough-love act, but they ultimately stick by him.

Raymond and his family are at the arraignment.

Raymond requests to go straight to trial, and were introduced to Judge Lyttle, whom I love immediately.

She is not havinganyof Molto and Della Guardia and orders them to focus on justice without any extra pomp.

But the writers wouldnt leave us hanging on such an optimistic note.

Rusty has a dream of drowning Carolyn in this episode, which really doesnt bode well for him.

Why do so many characters in this show have a name that starts withR?
