Maggie and Eli return to the office, apparently not having spoken the whole way back because Maggie bids Eli adieu by fast-talking, "I have to go kill myself, goodbye!" Don't let me stop you. Eli tries to say something about it only being weird if they do something, but Maggie minces quickly off, and Patti emerges to say, "If this is how she reacts when she wins a case, I do not want to be here when she loses." Eli doesn't even try to explain Maggie's compendium of issues and Patti observes that even if she cared, her boss wouldn't approve of her wasting her time. "Speaking of which, have you seen Miss Weathersby?" Patti asks. "Miss Weathersby?" Eli repeats, amused. "Yes," Patti bites out and then says that Jordan wants to see Eli and his daughter in his office. "And the day stared off so well," Eli groans. "Life is full of disappointment, Eli," Patti dramas. Eli finally asks what winter of discontent blew up Patti's ass. Patti explains, "It's no fun any more." "Well, I guess that's why they call it work," Eli shrugs. "Never used to feel like it," Patti says pointedly. Eli is about to say something but gets interrupted as Patti takes a call, making sure to ask if she can take a message. Patti nods Eli off, and he leaves.
Ugh, back to the Turk case. Turk is incredulous that his lawyers want him to plead temporary insanity. "It's still a not-guilty plea," Bennett points out. "Yeah, not guilty 'cause I'm crazy, whatever happened to not guilty because I'm. Not. Guilty?" Turk demands. Is this going to turn into some massively intricate whodunit where it will come out that Turk was framed for the coach's murder?
