i love that she forced Siletti to make some financial amends to the family of the woman he without a doubt killed. in this scene/this ep, Cassie became (after Hildy & Terry) one of the best, most likable characters on the show.
shareShe's a hot ass MILF too.
shareAlthough I didn't want the husband to get anything, as his poor wife was working double shifts while he was doing nothing, I am glad that they are providing for the kids. She had a very clever way to resolve everything. I wonder if he met her in law school. . .

Yep, that's "Sexy Lexi". Been calling her that since Melrose Place. Every time I saw her that kept popping up in my mind. Good to see her again and that age hasn't destroyed her looks.

I really liked Cassie for doing this. I know the husband let his wife work double shifts when he should have helped her out but I was glad for the sake of the kids.
shareCurrie Graham and Jamie Luner were by far the most entertaining elements of Season 3. I thought that Siletti storyline was really well written and maintained a great tonal balance. Although you know he is an awful person, you couldn't really condemn Mario for what happened - it was all so borderline and clearly there was no intent to hurt or kill the pedestrian. I was struck by how all the people in the legal profession who had fawned over him when he was powerful were so eager to throw him to the wolves when it looked politically expedient. And given his backstory and personality, how could you not expect him to do everything he could to protect his career - and even his family, as it turned out?
Was he trying to reconcile with Cassie because he needed her in court, or because he really loved her? Impossible to decide one way or the other - I like that kind of ethical undecidability and complexity in a TV series - it's pretty unusual. And Graham plays that kind of character like almost no one else around right now. I found myself eager to get to his next scene, rooting for Mario to dig himself out in spite of myself.
It was weird, however, how the Siletti plot never overlapped all with any of the police storylines after the initial arrest. Kind of like two entirely separate shows coexisting within a single title.
Otherwise... meh. Was anyone else really puzzled about the seemingly pointless killing of the female sports reporter - which also had nothing to do with the main plot?
