Damages Season 2 Episode 8: They Had to Tweeze That Out of My Kidney

Not a brilliant episode, but the ending was good.

Spoiler Alert!!!

So Uncle Pete is alive but in hospital and being pounded by the FBI who leave a recording device in his room, this will come in handy later on. Frobisher goes all weird and suggests creating a health farm on the plot he was shot in, Frobisher leads us to believe he doesn’t know who shot him.  We find out more about Uncle Pete and how he was nice to Patty when she was growing up as her dad was a bum head. Phil learns about UNR’s influx of capital which he later tells Patty about but he still invests in it.

Tom talks to the hooker about Finn and later on she meets with him again after she is threatened by Finn when she is ‘working’, you had to love the line “ok know you can take my clothes off”. Mr. Beardy visits Frobisher and threatens him and his guru, leading Frobisher back to his wicked ways.  He drops his law suit but he’s not needed anymore. Patty visits Pete in the hospital and says he should tell the FBI about her, Ellen doesn’t believe this.  After this Patrick goes to visit Pete, at which point Ellen and the FBI become interested as he starts talking about the job he did for Patty, Ellen goes to see who this person is (not knowing it’s the person who tried to kill her) but misses him, at this point Uncle Pete goes into a cardiac arrest and dies due to Patrick injecting a poison into his drip.

We see Patty outside looking at a young girl imagining it was her when there is a phone call, we are led to believe Patty is talking to Patrick about a job well done but it turns out to be Ellen, giving the bad news.

We end on Pete’s wife opening a box full of Pete’s possessions which has evidence about the attack on Ellen. She gives Ellen the folder containing the evidence. We fast forward and see that the mystery person in Ellen’s apartment is Patty who is terrified as Ellen points the gun at her. Ellen says do you really think I would use this and puts the gun down. The screen goes black and we hear two gun shots…what happened?

Not a great episode 3/5
