The eighth and final season continues on ABC.

Upcoming and Final Eps:
"New Hoods on the Block": May 2
Harry Potter: TSS will pre-empt the show on May 9.
Adjourned (SERIES FINALE!): May 16

This week: "Eugene is presented with an offer he finds hard to refuse, and Ellenor is shocked when she hears the news, knowing full well that any departure by Eugene would mean the beginning of the end of the practice. Meanwhile, Jimmy is confronted by crooked lawyer Lenny Pascatore (Vincent Pastore), who claims that the neighborhood only has room for one practicing attorney. Across town at Crane, Poole & Schmidt, Denny Crane ruffles some feathers by making Tara his personal paralegal, and Hannah Rose (Rebecca De Mornay) enlists Shore's help in handling an assault case involving two hockey players."

A fairly good episode, though I once again found myself more interested in the going ons at Crane, Poole, and Schmidt, than at Young, Frutt, and...um...Young and Frutt (since Jimmy has started his own firm). I did like Vincent Pastore's role and the subplot with Jimmy's new office as well. Hannah and Sally continue to be two very interesting characters, and Jamie continues to be underused. This is an A-. Still itching for next week.

And SPEAKING OF NEXT WEEK!:As Eugene ponders his future with the firm, he gets an unexpected visit from an old friend. Meanwhile, Jimmy is shaken by an ominous run-in with neighborhood lawyer Lenny Pescatore, as their turf war heats up, and Ellenor clashes with sexy and ruthless attorney Hannah Rose of Crane Poole & Schmidt. Sounds like it ought to be good as well! :D

I found it surprising that no one realized Gigi was the informant sooner. I mean, as soon as Jimmy's friend mentioned that she was the only person he told I said to myself "Well, maybe she told the cops." Then again, maybe Jimmy didn't want to tell his friend out of sympathy, but you'd think Eugene or Ellenor would have told him...

Wow, maybe Hannah isn't that much of a *****, I guess she just wants to show that younger lawyer some tough love or something.
