The moment is a small nod to the passage of time that isnt present in the seasons story line.
Luckily, this means the return of Chantal, who is one ofSearch Partys best jackasses.
Even though her decision to run away set the show in motion, shes a useless and unremarkable person.
They dont even mention her.
Well, Chantal, probably nothing.
Chantal doesnt realize things have moved into much more dangerous territory, and neither do Portia and Elliott.
The episode ends with them shouting, The truth will set us free!
But they dont know Dory has already set another lie in motion.
This is after her lawyer, Cassidy Diamond, walks her through three pretty solid options.
She can accept a plea deal, claim self-defense, or plead insanity.
Also, she shouldnt say anything to anyone.
Dory doesnt consider any of this.
Shalita Grant brings a wonderful energy to the role of Cassidy, the episodes rookie lawyer.
Cassidy fits right intoSearch Partys world as a clueless, overconfident millennial lawyer.
Its exactly what Dory deserves to deal with.
Cassidys mom even has to text her to tell her about a press conference involving her own case.
All the evidence is out there, people know Dory and Keith slept together.
They know Keith was tracking her phone.
Theres no way Dory can get away with saying shes totally innocent.
That no other truth matters to Dory but her own will inevitably force Drew to turn against her.
Oh, my sweet, precious, Midwest King, Drew.
He really doesnt stand a chance against Dory, does he?
I dont think Drew still loves Dory, but I do think he believes in her.
Theres something about her that convinces him she might have this all figured out.
I hope she does, because I also dont have faith in the lawyer Drews dad hired.
Elliott and Portia have never really had trust in Dory.
They run away and dye their hair, but quickly realize theres no way they can hide.
Elliotts lovers time-share is occupied and now theyre stuck watching rich kids who wont listen to them.
Dory might not be able to sell a lie, but these two can.
As Polly says multiple times, Keith was a father and his family deserves justice.
Drew has a family that doesnt want to see him spend his life in jail.
Elliott has Marc and a wedding to plan.
Case Notes
Shalita Grant deserves another shout-out for her introduction as Cassidy Diamond.
Ive never fallen in love with a TV character so quickly.
Michaela Watkins as federal prosecutor Polly Danziger is also perfect casting.
Like, bitch, just admit you like to shop.
I cant wait to see Polly go up against Dory.
The mystery of who called in the tip is immediately cleared up.
Portias instincts were right.
Of course Elijahs weird doublespeak last episode was a lie.
Hes a jerk and nobody meant his stagehand.
Im glad they cleared this up.
Like Polly said, theres a mountain of evidence against them.
If it hadnt been Meg it wouldve been something or someone else.
Dory might still be seeing Aprils ghost, but that doesnt mean shes dead.
