That old Max/Gabrielle flashback is great. Poor Fiona, those eyelashes they had her in back then weren't the best choice. Fiona had such talent to make all that wailing and those cries of pain and all that so real each time. Jessica Tuck underplays her pain so wonderfully in these scenes, especially the "I got burnt" scene.
I was so glad that max finally realized how badly he treated gabrielle. He pretty much ignored his son , a baby he made with an innocent virgin on her first time ! He was off chasing Tina then megan just ignoring al. He then used her again & slept with her knowing she loved him then woke up the next day freaking out he made a mistake & that they were done. He started ignoring her again. She started to lose it & decided if he would not love her she was going to hate him. She took up with Micheal grande & stole the hotel max owned & steve managed ( his brother that divorced her after hearing they slept together while he was in a coma , he forgave max but not gabrielle ) when steve died & max had lost his hotel he left for texas for a few months. When he got back I think he was jealous that Gabriella & michael were doing well & she moved on. Suddenly he decided to be a dad & sued her for custody of al & won. SHE was Al's primary caregiver & adored that baby & max took him. Then michael 's very pregnant estranged wife came to town & michael ended it with gabrielle. Somehow all 3 became great friends. When alicia & gabby got into a bad accident. Gabrielle delivered the baby with a huge head wound. ( I think the head wound maybe made her go nutty ) alicia & then days later the baby was critical. Gabrielle got a call from a drunk Michael. She went to see him & he told her if the baby died to he wouod kill himself. So gabby switched Michaels dead son with brenda & Steve's live son. They say she did it so she could be a mommy to " garrick " & Michael would want a mom.& family for his boy. I saw that scene I think in the moment she really was afraid michael would kill himself. I wish they pushed that more at the trial in her defense. Yes once Michael asked her to move in to care for the baby she did see dollar signs bc with Michael's wealth he promised her hed help her get al back & all 4 would be a family. Max started to work her but while doing so he got caught in his own web & fell for her. I think he did feel guilt that if he didnt pressure her she would be happy living in Europe with michael. I also think he got so close to her during the trial he fell hard for her for the first time. So the flashbacks they showed were excellent their first time where he may have led her on a bit about coming back. He carelessly got her pregnant as I'm sure gabrielle was so innocent she didnt think of birth control. Then the next flashback of him admitting he started out jerking her around hurt her. He admitted he felt something but I'm sure she did not believe him. So it was good flashbacks to show how much max used her love for him to get what he wanted. First sex in Argentina then to ruin her wedding day where she would be rich married & living it up with Michael in europe. Instead now he sees she is awaiting a prison sentence. The megan scene was fantastic with the double meaning of " I just got burned " imagine if u were getting very jealous & insecure of ur boyfriend who spends all his time now with the mother of his son. Who admitted in court he loved gabrielle after a year of telling u he hated her. Then u see him flipping out defending her pleasing with the court to let her go. I think megan after court when he admitted he loved gabrielle plus their bond of al plus him running off to see gabrielle ever chance he got I get she is devastated to see all this passion he has for gabby that he literally got dragged out if court begging for her to get off. Great great writing.
How did Jon Russell become a lawyer? I thought he was just a private investigator and before Dorian left, she was complaining that he didn't have a drive or something.
That burnt scene was wonderful and funny. And it actually appears as though Julia cares about Gabrielle. Plus, can a judge do what he did? He practically urged them to say guilty! Can he honestly do that?!
No def not. He is supposed to be totally impartial & keep order & make rulings on objections. Him grilling tina, a d.a witness was inappropriate. Herb did screw up not getting her immunity since he at least knew Tina was being blackmailed. Tina had every right to plead the 5th on the judges badgering of what secret gabby was holding over her head. Once she pleads the 5th a constitutional law the judge had to back off. Also after Brenda's testimony he should not have directed the jury to keep in mind the cold hard facts in spite of Brenda's testimony. John's defense really should have stuck to gabrielle 's head injury , the medications he grilled dan about that could have adverse reactions & her fear of Michael committing suicide.
