    I knew Jordan said he and Eli would be starting the new firm together but I didn't expect their relationship to evolve that much and for him to actually have his name on the door. I was a little disappointed by the fact that Taylor didn't seem to mind the fact that she wasn't offered the possibility of becoming a name partner and the fact that her father preferred her somewhat unbalanced ex.

    Though I still feel Jordan has changed too much, too quickly. Just shortly before the last season ended he still hated Eli for lying about the aneurysm. I'd be a little sad for us to find out there's something medically wrong with Jordan and that that caused his behavior.

    Splitting the firm in two, I don't think any legal drama I've seen had done this before. It is risky and I admire the writers of this show for taking this chance.

  • Eli: As you pointed out, sir, some of our people are in contact with their people, so some cross-pollination is bound to occur.
    Taylor: I'm not pollinating anything with Matt.
    Eli: I didn't say you were. I was just trying to imply that you are pillow-talking our business plan with him.

    Keith: And that's why I'm not the guy to help you with this. []
