Stacy is feeling a bit underappreciated this week. Neither Jane nor Fred has time for her homemade breakfast. Instead they are wondering where missing shoes and lost keys are as they hurriedly head out the door. So what does Stacy decide to do? She goes into business for herself and invents the arm-velope. Fred, always eager to please Stacy, agrees to help her with her endeavor only to be laid off when a Japanese company sends them a cease-and-desist letter. Apparently Stacy accidentally stole their idea, which they called a sun sleeve. Better luck next time Stacy.
At the office, Fred more than has his hands full with Kim although she seems to be taking things a bit easier on him. She even runs her own errand. Fred can’t take the suspense though and peeks into Kim’s pharmacy bag to see what he missed: a pregnancy test kit. And wouldn’t you know it, Kim personal life ties perfectly into her professional life. Her old friend Caitlin adopted a baby three weeks ago. Kim’s been meaning to drop by or send a gift but she’s been too busy. It turns out birth mother has kidnapped Caitlin’s baby so Kim has a new case.
Jane, on the other hand, has one more client then she thought she’d have. Maria Ellis is wavering in her decision to divorce her husband. He’s married to his job, never around, and she suspects he might be cheating. When Jane finds proof of his infidelity they discover that he’s actually married to another woman. Jane takes both women on and they sue Charles Ellis for fraud. The best part of this case, at least for me, is that Tony is opposing counsel. I didn’t like it when Tony broke up with Jane last week. I get that he’s upset and hurt – I would be too. But they’re so cute together. I didn’t want it to be over. And it’s not. Their back-and-forths and little digs at each other in court lead them back into each other’s arms. But let’s go back to the case for a moment. Things seem to be coming down on Tony’s side until Terri uncovers something among Charles’ assets. Even if Charles managed to find two soulmates in his lifetime – one in Maria and one in Emily – how can he explain a fiancée? He can’t. Case closed.
Kim’s case is getting more complicated and convoluted. The baby’s birth mother Lana has 30 days to reclaim her baby, which she does, but only if she didn’t sign a waiver, which she did. Opposing counsel is trying to prove Lana was suffering from post partum depression, which would void the waiver. And even though Lana claims the she didn’t really have control over her actions and emtions before, Kim and Caitlin think she wants her baby back because the baby’s father Joey is back in the picture. The case is further complicated by the fact that Caitlin gave Lana $20K. It could look like a payoff although Caitlin thought she was helping Lana with medical bills. When Parker forces Kim and Jane to work on this case together they discover Joey has $100K in his bank account. He found a couple who’ve been wanting to adopt a baby boy for a long time and he basically sold his child to them. Devastated, Lana kicks him to the curb and Kim warms him not to run from the FBI, who are waiting for him outside.
What was has all this taught Kim? That she’s not ready for kid. So I guess it’s a good thing she isn’t pregnant. But Fred thought she was when he told Jane. And Jane’s reaction is very interesting. I think I’d be devastated too if my ex was about to have a baby with a woman I loath. But Grayson, once again proving what a great guy he is, says he’ll do the right thing. And even though he and Kim aren’t together any more I believe he would have been a really great father to that kid. But thank God it was a false alarm. I like my Kim bitchy and I’m just not sure she could pull that off with a kid on her hip.
And one very important revelation came to Jane after the baby drama. As Deb, she’s glad Kim’s not pregnant. As Jane she feels like it’s none of her business. It is sad to see Jane give up on her soulmate but I like Tony and I’m happy she’s moving on with her new life.
What did you think of the episode? I’d like a little more Grayson next week.
