So far this season I've been slightly disappointed with the series. Very slightly. The first season was perfect. I would give them all 9s or 10s. This season it is about 8-9s. Still good episodes and stories, it just felt off. This was a close return towards what I love. The Jordan story was very well done. Eli had a vision that his part in the case would be a hindrance and a liability. The changes in Jordan have been very well done. Eli's lead paint case was great. Sadly it didn't go to the supreme court like in the vision. that would have been a great story line to follow.
The ending was fantastic. Loved Jordan leaving and the revelation that Jordan owns the building. The satisfying smile on Jordan's face as he got to kick Posner and Klein out of the building spoke volumes. Their little power play failed and karma worked out in the end. I'm sure we will see them some more later. They will be opposing council a lot.
Now who will stay and who will go? I know Taylor and Eli are for sure. Matt Dowd is with Taylor so he will most likely stay. Keith Bennet was hired by Jordan and seems to have a strong moral compass so he might be very loyal to Jordan and stay.
The vision at the end with Maggie i think is a red herring. Maggie is the super moral lawyer. She is like Eli. Either Posner and Klein force her to come over to the dark side, she leaves to distance herself from falling in love with Eli, or the vision is false. His vision of the supreme court case didn't happen. He didn't get to go to the supreme court. The visions are a sign of possibilities, not set in stone.
Overall a great great episode. Can't wait to see the next one.
