"Ever get the feeling something bad is going to happen?"

[ Safe to say, Alicia doesn't discover the open journal just yet. Instead, she speaks to nobody in particular. ]

No.

[ A beat. ]

Zach? Grace?!

[ The sound of a door being opened and then closed can be heard. ]

That's - my name.

My - my phone. Where is it. Where's my bag. Where's my apartment?

Hello? Can anybody hear me? [ Drawers open and close. A closet opens, closes. Things are clearly being rifled through. Finally, she yells out again. ] Listen to me, whoever is responsible for this. I am a lawyer at Lockhart and Gardner. My ex-husband...! [ But it doesn't make sense. Because she's been left alone and that's an unlocked door. Is this a poorly executed kidnapping? ] Peter... ? [ Could this be because of him? ] Hello! Is anybody there! What the hell is going on?!

... Peter.

I love Alicia Florrick. I love that there is a series essentially about her character - at least in its inception. She is a strong woman who will not be pushed around who continues to learn every day. She doesn't know it all and she readily admits that. She's a woman who's had one life and is now having this... completely separate one - a woman who's finding herself. I love her small smiles and how she silently judges and holds so much in. I can identify with her because I compartmentalize a lot. At any given moment I am thinking of a thousand things and I don't even have half of my life in order. But I'm... still in grad school and I digress. My intent, besides giving Kalinda an ally is to throw Alicia yet another curveball. After she realizes her kids aren't there and that time has most likely frozen, then she can build her friendship with Ms. Sharma back up. She could perhaps move towards starting a real law practice in Paradisa or something along the lines of it. She could defend people who have been on losses. She could do real good and not have to worry about money. And maybe, just maybe, she could discover more of who she is as a woman. She can continue to grow and evolve. And maybe, over time her trust in people can return. Because if they aren't her children or a client, she doesn't give them the benefit of the doubt.
