• Christine Baranski and Jane Lynch doing an intense dramatic scene with a touch of humor – what not to like?
• The dynamic way of how it’s filmed. (How many takes did they need?? Brilliant.)
• Diane’s look in general and the suit jacket in particular.
• The way Diane moves quickly and confidently while Madeline has to run after her.
• “Could you get security up here? This woman is harassing me.”
“Harassing? Someone like me?! A federal agent?!”
*absolutely unfazed* “This federal agent is harassing me.”

• Diane’s abrupt “I’m done with this bullshit” power stop.
• *tiny cunning smile* “You understand, I’m a seasoned lawyer. This doesn’t work on me. I’m not going to run crying to my husband, *mockingly* "How could you?" The very fact that you came to me and not Kurt’s lawyer shows how weak you think your evidence is…” and the way in which this whole speech is said 🤌🏻 #professionalism10/10 #hot
• Mchart being protective of each other is one of my favorite Mchart trope. And this is a good example of it.
• “One wife to another” #burn 🤣
• *Makes a great closing argument and walks away like the queen she is*
• THE MUSIC.
• All in all: perfect acting, directing, writing, sound design, costume design…
