Following the events of the previous episodes, the trial for Ted's murder continues. I've continuously struggled with hating or tolerating Blake, but I've decided to tolerate him after him. I hate what he has done, but it looks as if he is going to get through without a scratch, minus a part of his family.

It's weird how Steven is keeping almost all of his pain inside instead of blowing over. I can only hope he will blow one day and tell everyone what they don't want to hear. I also don't really know what to think about Krystle's return.

The trial was very interesting, and it was just weird how Blake's attorney managed to turn things around by calling Claudia on the stand. I love how that marriage was ripped out, and I loved the cliffhanger with Claudia and Lindsay ending up in an accident. Most importantly, I'm thankful that as of next episode on Michael, Walter, Matthew and Lindsay will no longer be the regulars.

The ending was a classic, I can only imagine how it was when it first aired. Now let's see what the woman can bring to the game...moreless

- Originally the name of Blake's ex-wife was Madeline (and not Alexis). In this episode, the character had not yet been cast so model Maggie Wickman stands in for the role (with a veil covering her face). Joan Collins was eventually cast during the break between the 1st and 2nd season.
