**** for Episode

Michael J. Fox again appears as the cunning attorney who shows his human side when it appears that the Florrick's daughter has been kidnapped. With that situation resolved, Canning again proves what a sly, crafty person he is.

Alicia and Will are at it and at least we can understand why Peter is now able to investigate Will-corruption with judges. It's really an interesting this what is going on. Of course, with Alicia and Will sleeping with each other, things are getting more and more complicated and that enhances the story-line.

Archie Panjabi's character seems to be all over the map. The woman is really becoming a sex-crazed object with all concerned.
