S3E8: 'Death Row Trip' Recap

Death Penalty: This episode featured another hot button issue. What if someone raped and killed your child, would they deserve to die? Throughout the episode, Alicia seemed to favor the death penalty until the very end when things with the killer's family got emotional. But then, of course, he revealed his true colors and the moment was ruined to say the least.

Kalinda/Cary: It was cute to see Cary get all jealous when Kalinda started getting cozy with Dana. Kalinda is hard to figure out but when Cary left her hanging in the final scene, it looked like she was fairly upset. Could she actually be in love with him?

Fellating Santa Claus: Ok, this was silly. Even the 'Facebook Generation' would not make a scandal out of a politician's goofy college photos. I mean, he wasn't even facing the camera so how could someone have used it against him?

Won't someone please think of the children: Jackie pretty much ransacked Alicia's apartment in search of used condoms or other proof that Alicia is a horribly neglectful, improper mother. She means well but can't escape the horrible mother-in-law stereotype. It's just a matter of time before Alicia has to put her back in her place...

Overall, this episode felt a bit rushed. Having Eli around kind of ruins the balance of the show because it means that they have to either cut back on Will/Alicia or Kalinda time (or Eli time which is what they did last week). When they try to do it all like with this episode 40 minutes of airtime just aren't enough.
