-
- There are two parts to the judge's "order":
-
- 1) Cicely gets three years to hire another DJ of Chris' caliber.
-
- When last we left Maurice and Bernard, the possibility of Bernard assuming
- Chris' position was still much alive.
-
- 2) Once condition #1 has been met, the WV authorities can have Chris IF THEY
- SHOW UP [emphasis hers].
-
- My interpretation was that this was sort of an implied threat from the
- judge that they (or more likely Officer Semanski, on their behalf) should
- NOT show up when they time comes. My objection to this as a way to "solve"
- Chris' problem is that it would be totally inconsistent with Semanski's
- character for her to acquiesce to this, since it has no force of law.
-
- I realize that this show often strains the limits of credibility, but with
- all the gaping plot holes and character inconsistencies of this episode
- they finally crossed the line between "well, that *could* happen" and NFW.
