How do you make sense as well as coming to grips with the tragedy relate to this excellent episode.

Alicia questions her faith with her ever- believing daughter.

There is the anticipated shock at the firm, but Diane fires a person there for only a week after she finds her in a terribly crying state.

There are excellent performances by Christine Baranski and Julianne Margulies, both grieving for a devoted friend. The former searches desperately for answers regarding why this tragedy unfolded and the latter tries desperately to maintain decorum and see where the firm will go to without Will Gardner. Kalinda does her usual investigatory work while meeting up with the alleged killer, Will's client in court.

Cary, also deeply hurt by the events, carries it into creating quite a scene at the deposition. His outburst prior to this is memorable.

Diane is certainly no slouch either in dismissing a client, bringing lots of money to the firm, as she doesn't like his response to the tragedy. She really shows that she can be ethical. Did we choose the wrong profession? She asks this of David, a lawyer, upset, but knowing full well that life in the firm must go on.

Finally, this senseless tragedy shall certainly bring a strain to Peter and Alicia's marriage.

Very fitting that Josh Charles directed this excellent episode.
