NICHOLS CASE

Sample Dialogue: "We were both worried about getting disconnected at parties, so we always kept track. You know, with that app? The Rape app? Have you heard of it? See, the GPS shows you where your friend is. There's a panic button, but that's what sucks! The phone vibrated when Maya pushed it, but the music was so loud, and I was dancing, so I didn't feel it.

So then she was murdered. Thanks, Rape App. Thanks, technology. But on the up, it has a record of when Maya pushed the panic button, which is the same time that Chen was buying her a pre-rape mojito according to his credit card.

Meanwhile, down in his hole for rats, Cary has the same conversation about the Rape App and everybody says "Rape App" like one million times and then Dana comes in and Cary says "Rape App" to her a bunch of times and it's just rape app this, rape app that, and then Cary notices maybe the stupidest clue ever seen on this show, which is that Chen signed for his rape mojito first-name-first and not surname first, like a Taiwanese person always signs credit cards.

This whole episode is like the Encyclopedia Brown version of this show, where it all hinges on some not-that-obscure factoid and nobody really cares anyway.

Speaking of, did you know that diplomatic immunity only extends to their adult children if they are full-time students? I didn't know that, and apparently nobody else did either, but Cary did some digging and realized that Dick Anders dropped his Anthropology class and thus isn't taking a full-load, meaning he's back in trouble for the murder, and Cary figures he's the one that signed for the drink under his friend's tab, meaning that Chen really was in two places at the same time, just with his names in a different order.

KAL-EL

Kalinda: "I would like to tell you the bare minimum."
Eli: "Okay, should she run or not?"
Kalinda: "Absolutely not. And I guess that's the bare minimum, so goodbye."
Eli: "Wait, come on. What else? She raised money for Blagojevich? Old news. She's dated around? But not like to a slut level."
Kalinda: "I don't like that you said that, but no."
Eli: "Then what's the problem?"
Kalinda: "Okay, you forced it out of me. She was fucking Osama Bin Laden's second cousin while you were married."
Eli: "This show is full-on ludicrous sometimes."
