Here we go! Liveblogging of the Season 2 season-ender.
Camera descends on Allison lying in the middle of the grass staring up at the sky. She wanders inside to wake her grandmother. Oh I love that actress! (Ellen Geer)
Granny: Everything is as it must be, at this moment.
It’s a flashback dream! She’s visiting her dead granny and remembering she burned her arm getting the pie out of the oven when she and her childhood sweetheart Johnny Dunham dropped by while granny was sleeping. But…so how does granny know about her kids if this is back then? Oh those witchy, time-travelling-dreaming-psychic women!
Back to reality. Robes, PJ’s and bagels with the family.
Allison: Maybe I should have married Johnny Dunham. Things might have been very different.
(How is it that Joe can look good just eating a bagel?)
Allison remembers that was the day she burned herself but can’t find the scar.
Joe: Maybe it just faded away, like Johnny Dunham.
Ha!
Cut to the D.A.’s office as Allison walks to the elevator with D.A. Duvalos. I just love him. He understands when she has to ditch him for her kids AND he is an excellent litigator.
Uh-oh. In court. “No body. No crime.” This isn’t going to be an easy case. He tells the jury the absence of a body just means the bad guy is very good at his job.
Euwwww. Larry Watt, defense attorney. Ick. He is creepy on so many level. He says the alleged victim “just went home” to a remote country.
What the…? He just had the alleged victim walk into the courtroom. No way!
Duvalos is a tad upset with his pet medium. How could she be so wrong? And now rumors are swirling that he employs a psychic so all his cases will be appealled. The nightmare!
Oh my god! He just fired Allison! WHAT???
Allison arrives home crying, only to have Joe asks her what the hell is going on while the phone rings off the hook, reporters take up residence outside, and the girls tell her people are making fun of her on TV.
Allison cries herself to sleep and wakes looking rather fresh in the morning. She looks… different, too. WHO THE HELL IS THAT GUY KISSING HER AWAKE?
Well, it’s the guy from…JAG? No, not JAG but some cop-ish show that was cancelled long ago. But what is he doing in Allison’s bed? Where is Joe?
Commercial? Argh! What is going on?
Breakfast with the new hubby. Wow, nice apartment. Lot’s of gadgets and high-end furniture. (IS that the guy from JAG?)
Okay, I have to say it. I hate Allison’s hair with that whole flippy at the bottom thing going on. Thank god it’s just an extended dream sequence and we’ll get her old hair back…I hope.
Allison, who is apparently a high-powered lawyer in this alternate reality, meets with Duvalos on behalf of Larry Watt. WHAT?? She works for that slimeball? Yuck. O.
Oh my, alter-Allison is kind of bitchy, isn’t she? Confident, too, as she give D.A. Duvalos the What-For. So, what are they trying to say? Suppressing your psychic qualities makes you bitchy? Is that it? Huh.
Allison dines with creepy Watt. Hubby, who turns out to be none other than Johnny Dunham, joins them and Allison is caught looking longingly at a family unit, complete with disruptive kids, across the restaurant.
Granny comes up in the conversation. Sweet old psychic granny whom Johnny calls “the town excentric, in a very small town.” What an ass. And is Larry Watt being…sympathetic? No! Surely not.
Allison is back at the office and she’s cranky cuz her 2 o’clock is late. But wait! He’s really under her desk fixing her computer…and it’s Joe! He is her expert witness.
Bitchy Allison in a power suit sits behind her very official desk and banters (bitchily) with Joe, who sits at ease in a guest chair and tosses out geek reparte: “Ah, my scandalous expose about the secret language of numbers,” in reference to his published book.
Allison tells him he needs a new suit, saying his current one is almost eight years old. How did she know that? Hm. He asks her that very thing. She changes the subject.
Did Joe make googly eyes at her before he walked out the door? Yes, I do believe he did.
Allison and Johnny read in bed. How very yuppie of them. Hey, she’s reading Joe’s book.
Oh great, now she’s dreaming about the man she is defending…watching him sponge up blood while the missing girl whimpers nearby as she slowly suffocates inside plastic. Allison sits bolt upright in bed in panic as she awakens from the nightmare! Now there’s a familiar sight.
Allison tells Johnny about her dream in the morning. He tells her she is being foolish. Not quite as supportive of her as Joe-as-hubby is, is he?
At the office, Larry Watt appears to be watching…porn? On his computer at work? Allison overhears him say, “Hell if she’s willing to do this for a living…”
Later, Allison coaches Joe on his expert witness testimony but what’s this? He doesn’t believe what he’s saying? He is supposed to explain mathematically that the murder weapon, a knife, could belong to anyone. Too bad he believes it probably does belong to the victim and says he trusts his instincts. “You should try it some time.”
Allison calls Johnny, upset. She agrees with Joe but it goes against everything she has worked toward and needs her husband’s loving support. In response, he is…an ass! What a surprise!
So it’s off to Joe DuBois’ house. How did she know where he lived? It’s pouring. She looks like a drowned rat. She tells Joe “my instincts tell me I’m supposed to be here, with you.”
…awkward silence…for an awkwardly long time…
“Just forget the last five minutes,” she says and walks away.
Whoo-hoo! Joe goes after her, of course! Passionate kiss. In the pouring rain. Something tells me she’s going to wake up in his bed, regardless of which Allison she wakes up as in the morning.
And she does wake up with him. ::purr purr:: But which Allison is she? And which Joe is he: her husband Joe or single oh-my-god-I-just-slept-with-my-expert-witness Joe?
The kids come in and jump on the bed, banishing all doubt. Hooray! Then Ariel asks a familiar question and Allison realizes it’s the same day she dreamt about earlier where the alleged victim showed up in court. She rushes off to catch D.A. Duvalos before the trail.
Ha-HA! No “victim” walks in this day! “We should talk,” says Duvalos to the stunned Watt. Duvalos and Allison show Watt the porn film (that Watt was undoubtedly watching in Allison’s dream) showing the victim with her twin sister. They explain the authorities stopped the twin at the border and made her see what a bad idea it would be for her to impersonate her sister in a U.S. court so she decided to stay home. Game over.
Allison returns full circle to another dream with her granny, this time telling her to go back to sleep so the young Allison can show up and burn herself as she takes the pie out of the oven for her…and never see Johnny Dunham again.
